How would I find out the fare for Reading - Canary Wharf using contactless? Is that a national rail fare, and how is it calculated single / return etc?

Ah ok - schoolboy error, so I needed the 2nd ticket to be Maidenhead to Zones 1-2 then I’d be laughing. Live & learn. Thanks both!

I have an Anytime day return from Didcot to Maidenhead and an Anytime day return from Maidenhead to Paddington. I went GWR Didcot to Reading then on to Elizabeth Line (stopping at Maidenhead), which goes through to CW, without thinking about how to begin my journey at Paddington. I think I’ll...

Apologies - I should have been more specific. I am actually travelling from Didcot - splitting the journey at Maidenhead. To further complicate, I bought the ticket via Uber as they offer 10% off and they didn’t seem to offer a fare to CW. So do I need to go to the barrier and come back in...

Hi there - I have bought a ticket and now realised I’m not sure how to use it!! I have a ticket from Maidenhead to Paddington and am then going on to Canary Wharf (expecting to pay that part on contactless). However I was planning to get an Elizabeth Line train straight through…how would I tap...

Apologies if this has been covered - I couldn't find it in search. I am a regular user of a weekly season between Didcot & Paddington, I usually buy on a GWR smart card, however I have been made aware of the 10% offer when buying from LNER. I have got an LNER Smartcard, Is there any reason why...

Thanks - so I can only get to Vic on the ticket if I actually arrive in London there. Which as you say won’t be worth it! Appreciated. 1646175752 Thanks - and on Thursday I’ll have to walk anyway ;-)

This may be a really silly question. I just bought a weekly season from Didcot to London Terminals via a GWR smart card (not with travel card included), the accompanying email says London Terminals: The following London stations are available for travel with the chosen ticket: • London...

Just as an FYI - I received my refund today from GWR. In the online form it asks when you last used the ticket and they have refunded me from then which is another 10 days or so. Plus they did charge me the £10 admin fee.

Thanks! Looks like a no brainer then.

And are the standard terms easy to work out, I guess I’m trying to understand how long I need to be not using the train for before it becomes sensible to cancel. For the parking I can’t find anything clear describing what the deal is.

Sorry if this has been covered already, I couldn’t find it. For people who are now going to be working at home for the foreseeable future, what’s the situation with cancelling a season ticket, and then buying a new one at some point in the future...and to extend further what about parking...

Hi there, From 2nd January I will be commuting 4 days a week from Didcot to Canary Wharf. I'm wondering if there are any tricks I should be aware of in terms of ticketing - I assume a regular Zone 1-6 Annual Travelcard is the best value and I think I can buy from Oxford to get the additional...

Is there any way I can look up the prices of season tickets from Sevenoaks to various zones - for example a Sevenoaks - London Zones 4-6, I am trying to see the best combination of a paper ticket from Sevenoaks to a zonal boundary and an oyster ticket for the rest of the journey into London.

Thanks! I appreciate the honesty...does that mean they should be allowed to ignore the rules that govern the franchise though?
