You're absolutely right. Can't argue with those figures.

*However* I am unclear as to whether it would be valid to use two
seperate season tickets on a train that did not stop at Hadley Wood -
and I'm not sure any Stevenage London trains do actually stop there (a
quick look at a timetable suggests not).

Ah, now this is the sting in the tail. The rule you are looking for is
number 17 at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/conditions.htm .

Unfortunately I'm not sure whether Travelcards count as "season
tickets or travel passes issued on behalf of a passenger transport
executive or local authority" which would seem to be the deciding
issue...

Incidentally, there is a similar saving to be made by buying separate
Welwyn GC - Hadley Wood and Z1-6 Travelcard seasons, and there *are*
trains from WGC that stop at Hadley Wood, so from there at least, a
saving could be made without having to change trains (though obviously
having to travel on a stopper would still increase your journey time).
