My work has booked me on a 5-day training course. It's in Slough, so
I've got the joys of a commute via Paddington to look forward to.

As I usually rely on Oyster PAYG, season tickets are a bit of a
mystery to me. Am I right in thinking that the ticket I'm after is a 7
day Slough to London R1256 at =A369.70?

Be Careful.

Last time I needed a different ticket to normal for work, I decided to
save my employer money by buying the appropriate weekly ticket instead
of five dailies. I then put in my expenses claim, only to find that it
got classed as a taxable benefit because I could also use it at the
weekend. Never mind that I already had my normal monthly ticket that
covered everything that I'd want to do at the weekend anyway, and, in
your case, that no-one would ever want to go to Slough.

Since then I've not tried to save my employers money and just got lots
of expensive point to point tickets.

The word "urgent" is the moral of the story "The boy who cried wolf". As
a general rule I don't believe it until a manager comes to me almost in
tears. I like to catch them in a cup and drink them later.
