    I don't think it is possible to buy boundary tickets on-line or from machines. It has to be done with a real person in the booking office.
    Most ticket machines won't sell them. Certainly, the ones at Paddington currently don't.
  • As one of the tickets is not only a season but also zonal ticket there is no need for the train to stop at West Drayton, the off peak day single with gold card discount is £7.45 and valid from 0930-2359. Total price should be 2 x £7.45, so £14.90.

  • I once went from Victoria to Reading via Ascot (changing at Clapham Junction) because I arrived in London by National Express. I recall it was considerably cheaper than the Paddington route, so this could be another option (especially if Victoria is more convenient for you to get to).

    You've come a bit late considering the OP travelled on the 23rd and 26th October.
