Hi, asking about this one for my Dad. He travels between London and Chippenham about once a work. He already has a senior railcard, but has just received his freedom pass today.
Is there any way he can use his freedom pass to reduce his fare further? Apparently it allows free travel on National Rail as far as West Drayton, so I'm trying to figure if there's some way of splitting a ticket from there. I think the train normally stops first at Reading, and if I remember rightly boundary extensions are only available within the Network Southeast region, so I've warned him I don't hold much hope. Thought it was worth a try here in case there's a trick I'm missing.
Thanks,
Dan.
