This wouldn't surprise me. FirstGroup don't seem to be big into Advances - for the GWR journeys I've done I'm yet to have one where an Advance would have made sense financially. I don't often choose them anyway, but on the WCML it's usually a case that I'm paying more for flexibility - on GWR it very much hasn't been the case for me.
Actually I've found that GWR are very advance heavy, found some ridiculously priced advances to places like Hereford and Devon etc. Not so much on the Bristol corridor, but the trains on that route are very busy.
Not traveled for a while, not sure what the situation is like now.
Advances on EMT/EMR haven't been hugely cheap for the last couple of years. Recently it's been just as cheap to buy a Super Off peak ticket from Leicester to Reading.
