Be advised that thetrainline.com site gets you to the last step and only then advises you that it will slap on a credit card charge.
This site gives you the same tickets at the same price and (last time I used it) there was no additional charge for paying by CC:

Well Barb you'll be pleasantly surprised here in the London area - there's quite a lot of palm trees around here, and JJ mentioned having one in his garden up in Norfolk.....
That was one very shocking thing when I first visited London: that there were palm trees here! Coming from Charleston, SC - where they're "a dime a dozen", it was a pleasant discovery.

Yes, I found that too when we were there last year. My impression was that eating out (portion size, choice of food and service) had changed much more in the past 5 years or so than in all the previous years we had been away (30). Anyone else notice that?
When we were in Cowbridge in S. Wales we had the best italian meal in a small restaurant just off the main street, near the town hall, sorry can't remember the name of it, but it was amazing, and really reasonable.

DR,
Is there a site that I can go to to find where express-none stop trains run to?
As an example I was looking at the Hereford to Paddington train service and it stops at about 15 stations and except for two trains you have change trains and in this case it goes in the wrong direction to make the change. It goes to Newport, Wales.???
