http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Survey.aspx?id=5184No mention in the T&Cs about the length or value of the First Class Season held. So by my reckoning you can buy a 7 day 1st Season from Culham to Appleford (cheapest I could find) for ^8.70. Maybe a few more quid if you need to get a new passport photo for the Season photocard.
Get the Season for ^8.70 and then print off the voucher for unlimited First Class travel across the network on Sat and Sun.
Now, I've read the offer and T&Cs over and over and can see nothing that would prevent me buying the cheapest possible 1st Season, issued with a photocard and then use the photocard number to enable print-off of the week-end pass.
I've checked with
NRE‡ and
FGW▸ and both say you need a photocard for a 7 day 1st Class Season.
Have FGW made a boo-boo with this offer? It can't have been their intention to allow such generous free travel with a 1st Class Season when you can get one so cheaply. Even if they'd specified a minimum of a one month 1st Season it would still be very generous. Appleford - Culham one month 1st Season is ^33.50.
The
Standard Class Season special offer, which is running concurrently, specifies in its T&Cs that it is only valid with one month or longer Seasons.
Slight risk posting this in that someone could alert the powers that be. However I would hope that our esteemed FGW contributors will let this one pass without alerting management! Let's pretend it's an early Christmas present for the punters.
