Default Oxford to London - Best Train Fare?

Hi,

I am currently travelling from Didcot to Paddington twice every week
(thursday and fridays), this is costing in the region of £50 a day
including the london underground to Holborn. Leaving at 7.30 with the
return train at 17.30.

I wondered if anyone knows of a cheaper methods of doing this, perhaps
by purchasing a railcard?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin


If you really are paying £50 per journey, and need to travel in peak times,
you may be surprised to know that a 7 day season is only £92. It used to be
the case that season tickets only became worthwhile after 3 or 4 daily
journeys, but such is the current pricing policy that often they're cheaper
than 2 trips...
