Wasn't the First Class Eastbound only season discontinued on cutting the 1st accomodation to 1.5 coaches on HSTs/removing some 1st seats on turbos? Or am I mistaken?

My list is quoted from the National Rail website (at the link given) / copy taken about 15 minutes before I posted.  Whether National Rail's list is up to date ...

The Oxfordshire Day Ranger is not as useful an offer as the name implies because although Chiltern Railways is down to participate, it is only valid on the occasional train they run from Banbury to Oxford and not Oxford to Bicester.

Unofficial, but usually accurate, is the http://www.railrover.org (http://www.railrover.org) site.

The railrover site (http://www.railrover.org/) is very helpful, but there is at least one discrepancy. The Cardiff and Valleys rover no longer includes bus travel (based on advice by the Cardiff ticket office last year), yet the rover site implies that it is valid for buses (as it was a few years ago).
