Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I was going to suggest South West Trains as you get 6 return journeys
on their network. *First Great Western have just started the same
scheme but has not actually started yet. *The problem is SWT do not
issue season tickets on oyster so no good to you for PAYG over
boundary.

SWT also state that you actually need to make regular use of their
services in order to benefit from their enhanced 'Gold Service'.
Interesting to know about FGW's new scheme.


Now that PAYG is valid on FGW does anybody know if you can buy season
tickets from them on oyster ? *It might be possible at Ealing Broadway
but that station is in zone 3 and I dont think they issue oyster cards
yet at Paddington.


Do you mean rail-only season tickets? If so, then no - no TOCs issue
rail-only season tickets on Oyster, only on a paper ticket.
