Of note is that GroupSave is available on Central Trains but only

Not so! GroupSave is available in almost all of the Central Trains
area. The only journeys that do not qualify for GroupSave are those
which are wholly in the WM Centro area.

Ah! In that case neither the GroupSave map [1] nor the GroupSave page
on the 'Days Out Guide' website [2] makes this clear.

This thus begs the question - where else is GroupSave available that
doesn't appear on the map. It appears that it's available across First
Great Western [3], which the map doesn't make clear either

The 'one' railway website makes clear that GroupSave is only available
on some of their routes [4] which tallies with the GroupSave map. The
map suggests GroupSave isn't valid on the whole Silverlink County
route, but their website [5] doesn't make clear that services north of
Northampton appear to be exempt.

It's annoying that there isn't a comprehensive list in one place of the
routes on which GroupSave is available. But I guess that's the
fragmented railway for you - though that said BR were quite capable of
failing to provide comprehensive information as well.
