Where's a list of organisations which are?


PTEs were set up under section 9 of the 1968 Transport Act

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/73/enacted

It starts "If in the case of any area in Great Britain outside Greater London..."


http://www.pteg.net/ explains more about them.



Thanks. For completeness, that list is:

Greater Manchester (Transport for Greater Manchester),
Merseyside (Merseytravel), South Yorkshire (SYPTE), Tyne and
Wear (Nexus), West Midlands (Centro) and West Yorkshire (Metro).

Are "Rover" and "Britrail" the same set as "leisure travel passes", or


are there other additions/subtractions by way of exceptions?




From the CoC "leisure travel pass...includes rover tickets, travel passes,




What's the definition (or a list of) the somewhat generic expression

"travel pass".



flexipass tickets and Britrail passes"




"Flexipass" seems to be carnet-style travel pass.



Flexipasses are tickets such as the 3 in 7 passes which have to be dated. Carnets are treated for Conditions of Carriage purposes as single
tickets.


As I thought.
