Hello everyone,

Do you know if it is possible to split a Flexi Season Ticket (8 return journeys in 1 month)?
I have just found out that splitting Oxford-London into Oxford-Slough / Slough-London is quite a big save!
Also, if that is possible, can you get on trains that pass though Slough but do not stop there?

I can’t find this information easily.. Thank you!!

National Rail Conditions of Travel (https://assets.nationalrail.co.uk/e...572570/National_Rail_Conditions_of_Travel.pdf):
14. Using a Combination of Tickets
14.1 Some Tickets specifically exclude their use in conjunction with other Tickets. This will be made clear in the terms and conditions when buying such Tickets
14.2 Unless Condition 14.1 applies, you may use a combination of two or more Tickets to make a journey provided that the train services you use Call at the station(s) where you change from one Ticket to another.
14.3 Unless Condition 14.1 applies, if you are using a Season Ticket, daily Zonal Ticket, or another area based Ticket such as a concessionary pass, ranger, or rover, in conjunction with another Ticket and the last station at which one Ticket is valid and the first station that the other Ticket is valid are the same, then the train does not need to Call at that station for your combination to be valid.
14.4 In all cases you must comply with the specific terms and conditions of each of the Tickets you are using (for example, keeping to the valid route(s) and train services for which each Ticket is valid). It is your responsibility to check that you comply with the Conditions listed above.
INFORMATION: In order to ‘split’ a journey with two or more Tickets under Condition 14.2 the services you use must be scheduled to stop at a station to allow passengers to alight and/or board that service, as permitted by the terms & conditions of the Ticket held. There is no requirement for you to alight and re-board the same service.
If a combination of Tickets is ‘split’ at a station but that station Call is defined as for “pick-up only” in the National Rail Timetable and in journey planners, then the Ticket held to that station is not valid; likewise, if that station call is defined as for “set-down only” in the National Rail Timetable and in journey planners, then the Ticket held from that station is not valid.
Two season tickets of whatever sort mean that the train does not need to call at your splitting point, Slough. Just one season ticket combined with a non-season ticket would also not require the train to call, actually.

One caveat: If you might consider doing a journey to Slough at some point, you'll need two Smartcards to ensure the correct ticket is used.
