Wembley Stadium was the other end I was thinking of. You can certainly get itineraries via Banbury or London (and now Oxford parkway) for this from Didcot both for simple return ticket and a one day travelcard (done it). How use of a such a season on the route might be treated is outside my expertise - and was a mere thought exercise really. I guess that a lack of a not via London option is the likely problem - it seems to be only sold as a London zone 1-6.

Is that available as a season? Wembley Stadium was the other end I was thinking of. You can certainly get itineraries via Banbury or London (and now Oxford parkway) for this from Didcot both for simple return ticket and a one day travelcard (done it). Is that available as a season? |

I assume not all Chiltern services stop at Wembley Stadium and you would need to combine the season (if it exists) with itself to reach Marylebone?
Combining a season ticket with itself has previously been confirmed by GWR▸ First Great Western in writing as OK in NRCoC days for Shalford-London (which allows travel from Guildford via SWT▸ and via stopping services to Redhill, in addition to semi-fast services to Redhill - i.e. Gatwick Airport trains which generally do not stop at Shalford).

As I indicated if you look for such a season ticket then you are offered London + Zone 1-6. Which might not tick all the boxes. But is it in some way the same issue as if you search for a return ticket for Didcot-Wembley Stadium you are offered a one day travelcard for Didcot-London Zones 1-6 (although a straightforward return is also available at a lower price but more than Didcot-London Terminals)? Trains from either Oxford or Banbury to Marylebone in general only stop at Wembley Stadium when there is an event of significance going on there. Otherwise a change is needed usually at High Wycombe. |

Looking at BRFares I can't see any 'not London' Seasons for Didcot to West or South Ruislip. The only alternative routeing for Seasons is 'AAA Newbury' (Also Available At). Looks as though your suggestion is only valid DID▸ - PAD» - MYB▸ -Wembley Stadium then. |

Didcot-West Ruislip has a not via London fare for a one off journey - but it costs more than via London.

So it looks as though there aren't any seasons valid via Oxford to MYB▸ then, or even short of MYB

Not sure if anyone has been able to clarify to me why a one day travelcard is valid for a one off whereas the equivalent season isn't. As I said this is all beyond me, even as an academic exercise.
I'm not losing any sleep over it though.

Could be to do with maltese cross routings (+) involving cross-london tube travel. I tried a couple of examples and a day ticket would be offered, but not a season ticket. Maybe a TfL» settlement thing? |

If going via Oxford & Chiltern, no maltese cross is required - the presence of one would indicate both routings (via PAD» or OXF» ) would be valid.
