Hi,
A friend of mine has a Zones 1-3 Travelcard on Oyster and he is making the journey from London Paddington [PAD] to Bristol Temple Meads [BRI] this weekend - out on Saturday and back on Sunday.
The cheapest fares seem to be for walkup: SSR £53.50, and Advance: £49.50.
I've looked at using a Network Railcard (option to purchase if it offers a saving of £5+) up to Didcot, or Boundary Zone 3 onwards fares, but overall they all work out more expensive as he's not returning the same day.
Does anyone have any creative ideas to get it for cheaper than £49.50 please? I suppose it's not bad, but it doesn't seem that cheaper either, especially given the advance tickets only offer a 7% saving.
Thanks in advance.
