Thanks very much! Like you say, if they are all HSTs^▸ (High Speed Train) then there should be loads of seats to choose from.

Just on a different note, since I'm going from London to Oxford for the outward journey, would I still be able to use a 'travelcard add on' ticket? Perhaps these are only valid if you are travelling into London and staying there for most of the day? I only ask because I'll be using the tube at the start and end of the journey so having a travelcard integrated into the ticket would be useful, and only costs a bit more.

Thanks again!

Hello Everyone!

I'm new to the forum and haven't really experienced the delights of FGW^▸ (First Great Western)...yet ;-) Coming down from Doncaster to go to Oxford, via London, and will be travelling on FGW from Paddington. Do you know what type of trains operate on the fast services to Oxford...or does it vary depending on the time of day you go? Also are there any time restrictions with using CDR^▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) tickets in the evening peak from Oxford to Paddington (using Groupsave)? I know that you can travel from Paddington to Oxford on the 9:21am service I think, but I don't know if there are any evening restrictions. I'll be travelling on Friday. Might be worth reserving seats? haha

Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Andrew
