    Thinking of jumping on at Reading as there are seats available. Late return time though and I need to be back earlier in the day. Does anyone know if RTC will do a 1 way fare and if so what sort of discount can be expected? Called the office but they couldn't really give an answer.

    I would just turn up and ask the question of the train manager. Expect one way to be rather more than half fare.

    Absolutely. I'll still pay full price if needs be. Gotta support the industry right? Just a little discount to subsidise the extortionate return with GWR would certainly help!

    Yes I often do that, sometimes not deciding to go until I am sure there is no DL involved

    Train manager possibly Les Fishburn, mention my name and he may give you a better deal, or on the other hand he may chuck you off......:)
