No, they share a routeing point (Bristol), so you can only take the shortest route or go direct via the routeing point.

No, that doesn't work.

Cam and Dursley - Bristol Group
Weston Super Mare - Taunton Group

But the complete list of Routeing Points is:

• Cam and Dursley - Bristol Group, Cheltenham Spa, Gloucester.
• Weston Super Mare - Bristol Group, Taunton Group.

Therefore Cam and Dursley and Weston Super Mare have a Routeing Point in common: Bristol Group. There are special rules for that.

(page A2) Common Routeing Points
If the origin and destination have a common routeing point, the permitted route is direct via the shortest distance from the origin to the destination over which a regular scheduled passenger train service operates. No doubling back (passing through the same station twice on a single journey) is allowed which may require customers to change trains short of the routeing point, unless an easement allows a longer alternative route.

(page F7) Finding a permitted route when the origin and destination stations have a routeing point in common.
If there is a common routeing point, the permitted route is the shortest route or a route which is longer by no more than 3 miles. Also permitted is the route followed by direct trains to and from the common routeing point if the journey is made on those trains.

So the permitted route is the shortest route from Can and Dursley to a member of Bristol Group, followed by the shortest route from a member of Bristol Group to Weston Super Mare, or any other route not more than 3 miles longer. There is flexibility within Bristol Group.

GROUP STATIONS
Some stations are grouped together to improve interchange between trains by offering customers access to a wider choice of train services and station facilities. A customer may travel via any station in such a group, including doubling back, provided that the group is on one of the permitted routes between their origin and destination stations. This extended availability is for interchange purposes only and does not apply where the origin or destination stations are part of a group.
