Only day ranger is the Heart-of-Wessex (my namesake ) ranger valid from Swindon to Bristol TM via Bath and Bristol TM to Weymouth, and also the Melksham line.
Valid on FGW and SWT (Upwey - Weymouth) and is great value considering it's about the same price as a walk up return from Bristol TM - Weymouth.
Valid after 08:20 on weekdays and any time weekends/bank holidays
There are 2/3 nearby listed on the first great western website, starting in Bath for the Bath/Bristol area, didcot for the cotswold line & Reading for the Thames valley day ranger - great value includes several branches
