I even called Virgin and they apologised but there are no fares for

I CAN get an East Croydon - Oxford ticket for about £13, which is fine
but is there a walk-on fare from Olympia?
Kensington Olympia to Oxford:
Standard Day Single £25.40
Cheap Day Single £20.30 (after 9:30 M-F)

Both of these fares are routed "+London", and are therefore not valid
on this train.

Well, you can get a CDS Clapham Junction-OXF route NOT LONDON for only
GBP 19.70. Assuming that this is a direct service, that should be
permitted. If it's not, one would have to use the routeing guide.

The train doesn't stop at Clapham Junction (it passes through
non-stop), so I don't think it can really be counted as a direct
service.

The Routeing Guide permits it though, so no problem.
