Most of the flexible tickets to from the Home Counties on DMUs to points
west are Route Salisbury. That's to stop them being valid on the GWML to
Bristol/Exeter. This is a hangover from Intercity/NSE days.

A SWT-only restriction would be rather annoying, since FGW DMUs also
operate some of the routes (eg Salisbury to Trowbridge, Warminster etc).

(Those FGW DMUs I'm thinking of are the ex-Regional Railways
Cardiff-Portsmouth service, which presumably would also have been covered
under the original Route Salisbury restriction)

I don't know AP tickets, but surely for the advance bit they're
specified-train-only so the routing doesn't matter, and for +Connections the
same rules as flexible tickets apply?
