The only real issue is holidays and I'm willing to sacrifice those types of savings for the convenience of buying all my tickets in advance. It's tough having to go from a season ticket to separate tickets but I get £500+ saving so it must be done :(

Does that mean it's quite likely that at some point this year, I'll be able to use the smartcard from Ealing Broadway to Burnham? I had to order loads of tickets in advance over the phone and was quite dissapointed that FGW only let you order 3 months at a time.

Thanks for the info :)

That's a perfect reason to worry considering I have to buy 3 tickets per week :(

I just ordered some tickets online (FirstGreatWestern website) for the same journey and they gave me a separate FastTicket machine reference for each ticket which I have to enter. Someone on this forum said it's one reference for several tickets so have I done something wrong? What's your...

Any idea when I can expect that for my journey?

That sucks, what's the best way to bulk buy tickets? And I'm 22 so wouldn't that mean I can use the 16-26 railcard?

What do you mean by "railcard"? Is that an alternative to a season ticket? I travel 8:30am.

Is it true you can get a season ticket specifically for travelling 3 days a week? I travel 3 days a week FGW, Ealing Broadway > Burnham and assume an annual season ticket is not good for me.

Are prices ever going to come down?

Two members of staff on the phone told me that I can get the young persons discount even though I will be traveling at 8:30AM...:? Great! :D

So I can get a young persons discount on a return done in the morning peak right? Allowing me to only spend around £900 each year for 3 days a week. Can you tell me if there is any easy way in bulk buying single tickets? Do I simply go to the office each month and give them all my dates? I...

Thanks for your reply. I travel from Ealing Broadway to Burnham 3 days a week but pay an annual season ticket for all days.

As someone who is aged 22, are there any discounts I can get on my annual season ticket or do those sort of things only apply to single tickets?

With Oyster being put at all stations in London, will I be able to purchase a season ticket via Oyster for one particular station to another rather than basing it on zones?

Just saw Boris on the TV saying that by September 2008 this will be at all FGW stations. I travel to Burnham from Ealing Broadway everyday, would that journey therefore be covered by Oyster? Will this still be based on Zones? Or could we choose to only pay for a specific route like you do now...

So even if they change their mind on this in say 10 months, I still am entitled to a 10% discount next January if I renew? And why is the 5% doubled? Thanks for answering my question, I just wanted to make sure I couldn't get any sort of discount off my current season ticket.

Sorry for being stupid but can someone tell me if this affects me at all? I bought an Annual Season ticket on the 12 Dec 2007 from West Drayton to Burnham.. can I get any sort of compensation?

Troubled train firm doubles compensation for delayed passengers Sorry for being stupid but can someone tell me if this affects me at all? I bought an Annual Season ticket on the 12 Dec 2007 from West Drayton to Burnham.. can I get any sort of compensation?

When you read "fares U-turn" it's easy to get excited - you might think FGW have come to their senses and gone back on their absolutely outrageous price increases. But no, the only story here is they made a mistake with their pricing for a few journeys and now they've fixed it. Hooray.
