How do you work out what the supplement is to travel on HS1? I will
have a Maidenhead to all zones Travelcard with a senior discount and I
though I might use HS1 from St P to Stratford International (then the
bus out) just for the fun of it and only one way.

I don't think that either an inboundary Travelcard, or an outboundary
Travelcard that's from a station for which HS1 would not be a valid
route into London, has any validity on the Southeastern Highspeed
services whatsoever (and there isn't a supplement which confers magic
powers on it to make it valid).

So basically you'd need to buy a ticket (£5 single, £3.30 single
w/Railcard discount).

Well....

This page

says

If you have a ticket to London Terminals, an outboundary** Travelcard
ticket or you hold a Season ticket, you can upgrade to high speed
services by paying a supplement in addition to your current ticket.

But I can't see where it says what the supplement will be (although given
the fares you menation it's not going to be a fortune!). Mind you,
here's a thought, I'll bet the reference to outboundary Travelcards
refers to inbound journeys from "SET land" not people like me coming from
somewhere else outside London and wanting just to ride to Stratford. I
think I feel an e-mail to SET coming on!

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get at with my reference to "an
outboundary Travelcard that's from a station for which HS1 would not be a
valid route into London" - i.e. somewhere other than 'SET land' (e.g.
Maidenhead!).

So, I sent an e-mail to SET just after I wrote my item here on 4/11 at 1622.
