Fare's not Fair for Cotswolds!

Why can I get an Standard Advance return (with Railcard) for ^5.30 from Oxford to London, when no such fare is availiable from, say, Worcester.

The fare seems to be availible on most off peak trains.

It is well known that Off-Peak HSTs^▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) are often carrying air around after Oxford, so surely a way of getting bums on seats to Worcestershire is to offer Advances. Say ^10 return to Worcestershire stations and ^15 for those beyond? And a cheaper equivalent for those getting off at Oxford.

Because you can get a Cheap Day Return, whereas I am stuck with a Saver Return.

You can get a CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) at Oxford though! Why the discrepancy?

Buy yer ^2.65 each way ADV (with railcard) for OXF^» (Oxford - next trains)-PAD^» (Paddington (London) - next trains). Then get a WOS^» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains)-OXF SVR for ^16.15 (with railcard). Voila.... London to Worcester and back for just over a tenner each way. Bargain. Even less if you only need a CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) between OXF-WOS (^9.55 with railcard)

You can get a CDR from Pnz-Ply for ^9.50 but you can also get an Adv for ^3.00 (^1.65 RC)
