It'd be good to bring GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) season ticket holders on board.

Can Season Ticket holders join?

Yes, Season Ticket holders receive Bronze welcome rewards upon joining. However, journeys made with Season Tickets don’t count towards Silver or Gold tiers. We are exploring options for Season Ticket holders and will share updates in the future.

Indeed, and it's curious. Two adjacent TOCs▸ (Train Operating Company), same ownership(?) launch two very different reward schemes: on the one hand, discounts on travel and benefits on the TOCs network, on the other hand, marketing / discounts on specific destination attractions of certain flavours. On a rail network supposedly heading for nationalisation and increased customer focus.

(That aside, I'd have a personal preference for GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)'s approach...)

I guess that they'll both be retailing tickets & you get to choose to which you give your hard-earned in order to purchase tickets. Similar to your supermarket shopping?
