Status Code GW15

[Hassocks5489]

Does anybody know what status code GW15 refers to on travel tickets? Seen on a number of Off Peak Returns from First Great Western stations to London Terminals issued circa June 2013. The discount on the full fare appears to be about 20%. A web search turned up nothing obvious. Cheers!

Some sort of large group discount?

Could it be a great western 15th Birthday discount?

Interesting suggestions - thanks; looking back through my collection I've just discovered one from August 2012 as well, so that may rule out Alex17595's suggestion (which is a shame; it seemed very plausible!).

I've got no idea what it is but it gives a 34% discount, just like railcards do, and can be applied to standard or first tickets with no minimum fare.

It does seem to appear in BR Fares. I would love to know how to get some GW75 tickets!

So it does; good spot! Interesting that there is a whole array of them (including the 75% one - which would indeed be nice ) I recall another TOC (probably Virgin) offering Corporate discounts in a number of %ages - status codes CORPA, CORPB etc. right up to about CORPJ were used for different percentages ... perhaps this is similar.
