all in one day. Readers will of course notice that this is the
same set of journeys, but in a different order. I have three
questions: 1) Is a Reading to Z1-6 ODTC valid for this travel?


No. You need to get a regular ODTC, and then get a CDR from Boundary
Zone 6 to Reading. Note that this ticket combination will only
valid on those TOCs that stop somewhere else in the Travelcard area
after the terminal, so you can't use FGW of the non-"Link" variety.


Since 1 April 2006, it's all one franchise called First Great Western,
so surely that distinction doesn't apply any more?
