Which Way Should I Go?

[DenmarkRail]

So initially I planned to go to London on Saturday, to see the WhiteChappel station progress, and then chill in London for a bit, because I stupidly booked a train at 17:00 back to STA. I then decided to instead of just staying in London, go to Chichester for the weekend, and get the train home from Southampton. Sadly, the leg between Didcot and Banbury is a bus, which I am very upset about. I had another idea though, if I take that train as far as Reading, change for PAD (book new tickets) and then just get a train from EUS to STA. This would:

A) Give me a ride on a class 800 train
B) Avoid a voyager to Didcot
C) Avoid a bus (which XC informed me doesnt incude a guarenteed seat)
D) Cost me an extra £20

So, do I:
A) Keep it as it is, and get the bus.
B) Get off at Didcott, and take the train to PAD, and then EUS to STA
C) Get off at Reading, and take the train to PAD, and EUS to STA

I propose a wildcard option: go to London from Chichester. Then take the route 'Salisbury & Warminster' ticket from London Terminals to Shrewsbury, and to Stafford from there!

It's an absolutely ludicrious and highly circuitous route but I'm sure it's be fun, plus the through ticket isn't that expensive (or if you split it into advances it's probably reasonable).
