    Thanks Mike,

    I didn’t know GWR set the fares out my way directly, but I’ve got journey history, so I’ll take it up with them. I worked out yesterday that I can “fix” it by using GWR to Paddington and swapping cards to avoid OSI. That reverts the fare to what I would expect. So it looks like the full fare is an error as you say. Will let you know what GWR say!

    Thanks Mike!

    I suppose I do benefit from this the other way – if I touch in before 0630 in Maidenhead I can get all the way to Canary Wharf off-peak, even though I’m taking peak time underground services.

    Since this is my frequent commute the 2-card method is probably optimal as it allows me to get straight on a GWR fast service at Paddington. Interesting to know the other methods though!
