Didcot - London Terminals Weekly Season

[ajhard]

This may be a really silly question.
I just bought a weekly season from Didcot to London Terminals via a GWR smart card (not with travel card included), the accompanying email says

London Terminals: The following London stations are available for travel with the chosen ticket:

•	London Paddington (PAD)
•	London Blackfriars (BFR)
•	City Thameslink (CTK)
•	London Cannon Street (CST)
•	London Charing Cross (CHX)
•	London Bridge (LBG)
•	London Waterloo East (WAE)
•	London Victoria (VIC)
•	London Waterloo (WAT)

As it happens tomorrow I need to go to Victoria, I had expected to use oyster PAYG from Paddington to Victoria, does the above mean that I can travel to / from Victoria all on the season ticket & if so how?

Thanks!

You can get to Victoria by changing at Reading and Clapham Junction.

However your time will probably be worth more than the saving you'd make by using PAYG from Paddington to Victoria by tube

(Tip: Take the Bakerloo to Oxford Circus then it's a cross-platform interchange with the Victoria Line)

Even walking from Paddington via Hyde Park to Victoria, having travelled by train from Didcot to Paddington, would be quicker than going by train via Staines.

Thanks - so I can only get to Vic on the ticket if I actually arrive in London there. Which as you say won’t be worth it! Appreciated.

Victoria only 30 minutes walk from Paddington via Hyde Park - would still be quicker than going by train via Staines.

Thanks - and on Thursday I’ll have to walk anyway
