I had a look at this, Jim ... and scratched my head a bit - then it twigged. I think you're looking at half fare tickets as you've not yet reached the age of 16. Have I worked that out right?

With the Severn Tunnel Junction to Taplow journey, the scientist in me always likes to see a "control" case to compare to. In this case that would be a through ticket. And I compared, for tomorrow morning, an adult single. And I came up with.

Severn Tunnel Junction to Taplow - 59.50 single (for trains departing before 09:25), or 45.00 on the 09:25 and presumably later.

Severn Tunnel Junction to Bath PLUS Bath to Didcot PLUS Didcot to Taplow - 36.00 single at any time, 29.70 after the peak. That journey would need to be made on trains via Bath (rather than direct via BPW^» if that's possible), and using trains that actually call at Didcot. And I bet the lady or gent selling tickets at STJ would love you turning up with such a shopping list Wink

U16 fares indeed-we were doing the trip on a Saturday, thus being CDR^▸ 's
