This inspired by the GWR December 2019 timetable and fare restrictions thread

Fairly often, I need to travel from Oxford to near London Liverpool Street, coming back in the evening peak period. Often I'll leave late enough to get a cheaper off-peak ticket. When I do, that tends to involve an off-peak day travel card, and the :07 Frome services with a change at Reading. However, I gather that option ends in December

While Chiltern from Marylebone is one option, I'm wondering if buying a ticket to somewhere just past Liverpool Street that's not GWR-priced might be better for me. Potters Bar was mentioned for Kings Cross / St Pancras, but I'll want to get the tube to Liverpool Street, which I don't think would be allowed on that ticket?

Where would be the cheapest place to buy an off-peak day return ticket to from Oxford, that isn't GWR priced so avoids the evening peak restrictions, that'd include the tube from Paddington to Liverpool street?
