Try using the forum site and select via points of Shrewsbury and High Wycombe.
How would you get from High Wycombe to Hayes & Harlington? The Wycombe to Bourne End section of the branch line to Maidenhead closed in 1970. An obvious route is to carry on to Marylebone, Bakerloo to Paddinton and then Elizabeth. But you would need a "via London" ticket. The direct if very slow route would be High Wycombe to West Ruislip, Central Line to Greenford, GWR to West Ealing, Elizabeth to Hayes.
The fare is actually routed "✠VIA HIGH WYC&SHR" so travel via London, including the Underground, is both intended and permitted. One of the sets of mapped route combinations is LONDON so there is no need for the ticket to explicitly say it's valid via London.
Tried as suggested. Still not showing.
Sorry about that, I didn't check before suggesting that. However, as these are walk-up tickets you can buy them at a station ticket office or (non-journey planning) TVM and use them as intended even without an itinerary.
Journey planners will offer the superoffpeak ticket for the 0101 arrival at Hayes & Harlington, one of the few GWR trains to serve the station.
Yes, that does imply that it's a data error. Possibly it will get fixed now it's been raised here.
I'm not too sure about that...

00362,L,3As the Elizabeth Line isn't explicitly listed, could it be the case that some journey planners are (incorrectly) interpreting that as meaning it's not permitted?
Do you see that as being significant?
Yeah, but I find it tricky to believe that every single routeing engine is interpreting the data "wrong" though. It's more likely that there's another restriction somewhere else that prevents it.
No, not really.
The route does not mention London, which means that it is not forced to travel via London nor forced to exclude London. You may travel via London if the maps allow it, or bypass it if the maps allow it.
They're from the RDG specs on public ASSIST: https://www.rspaccreditation.org/publicDocumentation.php

Cheers. I’ll give Severn Dee my custom then at Gobowen.
I've flagged it up with Chiltern's Pricing Manager to see if he can shed some light on it.
Did you pass through any gates with the ticket? If not, it would suggest that the magnetic stripe data was corrupted.
Now you mention it, no!

It looks like it may have been an issue since the route code was created but only really been flagged as causing problems with the massive shift away from Ticket Office sales (where staff have various ways to 'ignore' restrictions to sell the desired ticket.)
