As I told you on MSN, no.

Taunton to Westbury is though (map CE).  ;D

The routeing guide showed Frome had routing points Taunton, Westbury and Yeovil. Taunton is its own routeing point. As Taunton to Frome is a direct routeing - only direct route is permitted on that. A Westbury ticket is an entirely different story, though.

if you can get a CDR from Westbury to Taunton via Bristol, how come it's not possible to get one from Bath Spa to Taunton? I remember reading somewhere about people buying a CDR from Bath to Keynsham and one from there to Taunton as it's cheaper!

I was only offered a Saver when I checked the NR site though, so it seemed unusual you could get a CDR from a *longer* distance...  ???
