I've just had a mild eyeball
at firstgreatwestern.co.uk, and they came up for about £140 return... (only a tenner cheaper though)

I think it's the case of literally booking months in advance, but I personally feel it should be like flights, last come gets the cheapest tickets, then all the seats would be filled. But then, I guess there'd be loads of losses and the rails need servicing and blah de blah...

I'm the queen of booking fucking train tickets, but if you do book them as soon as you know the date, then it is possible for getting good deals. I'm a student with a railcard as well, but (just this week!!1) I'm going to Great Yarmouth on Friday from Reading for £17, then going home on next monday from Grantham to Reading for £14, and considering I have no car, this is aces for me.
