Permitted Travelcard Route (Didcot - London Zones 1-6)

[GWRjake]

Sooner or later (surely!) Chiltern will commence operations between Oxford and Marylebone. Would a Travelcard from Didcot allow me to make use of this service, or would I have to get a return to Oxford and then a Travelcard from there? Thanks!

As things currently stand, I think so, based on the information discovered in a recent thread, you probably will. (Although this is dependent on waiting for them to update the maps to take into effect the changes bought about by this build.)

Your journey is Didcot Parkway to West Ruislip, right?

It does appear to be marginally shorter to travel from Didcot to West Ruislip via Bicester (when open) than via London.

However someone might argue that the shortest route is actually via Greenford... Discuss!

Didcot to South Ruislip has a mapped route via Biscester

Watch them change the Didcot ticket to "via Reading" (and possibly introduce a new "any permitted" priced at or above the Oxford fare).
