I think you have previously travelled off-peak and now travelling peak.
on GWRs website shows as £7.40 for an off-peak day single and £9 for an anytime day return.
Travel after 09.30 for the cheaper price.0 -

It is possible that which trains are peak and off-peak has changed with the new timetable in May, but generally peak has already been before 9am that looks unlikely.
As far the price of a return being only slightly more that a single, that has always been the case, even way back 30+ years ago with British Rail.0
