Nice idea, but the train discounts didnt apply (last time I tried) with the really long journeys, like mine, from Reading.
Pity.

You are right, restrictions apply to train journeys so I’ve added a link to the map of the area where the SouthWest Trains discount apply. Thank you for the reminder.

Apparently we don’t have discount with Southern railways despite our best efforts, but if you’d like to discuss please contact the mobility office on ext 2805.

Nice idea again, but I tried it this morning for a week’s pass from Cosham on the train and was told the area didn’t qualify. A shame (and I should have double checked that in advance).

it says you can’t buy it on the train – have you tried at the station?
