Reservations for FGW are supposed to be £5 each, unless you buy the ticket at the same time.
Do we have a source for that? Does it remove one's right to buy a ticket without any reservations and then go back later to ask for them? Does it apply only at First Great Western ticket offices, or only to FGW services at all ticket offices? I had thought that the idea had been scrapped some time back.

The seat reservation charge is £5, except in the following circumstances where reservation is free of charge:Reservations are only available to passengers buying or presenting a valid travel ticket. Only one seat reservation per passenger (plus connecting reservation where appropriate) can be made for each journey.
- one reservation if reserved at the time of purchasing the ticket;
- wheelchair spaces, assisted passengers and their companions;
- holders of Rail Rovers.
The propensity of non-FGW ticket offices to not charge for FGW reservations suggests not!
Put it this way; nobody in my booking office has heard of the fees - and I only knew because I read it on here! Wouldn't have a clue how to charge someone for it though...!
I think there's a permanent reminder in RJIS when it boots up.
