Answers:    Walk up and Advance fares are set by different companies.

Taking your example into statement:
basingstoke to cardiff single fare is set (decided) by South West Trains.
basingstoke to swindon would again be set by South West Trains.
swindon to cardiff would be set by First Great Western.

So because different companies decide the ticket prices these ticket cockups evolve.
However in instruct to do the split tickets rule, you must be on a train which stops at the splitting point e.g. Swindon. You do not need to truly get of the train or move seating.

As for advance purchase tickets, the comments by other reader do not apply as this is not an advance purchase tickets issue.

AND NOT ONLY THAT IN MOST CASES IT IS CHEAPER TO BUY A RETURN FOR A SINGLE ONE WAY TRIP THAN IT IS IT IS TO BUY A SINGLE TICKET
