Believe it or not, I can get two advance-purchase singles, starting on the 07.35, and it works out at £12. If I get a saver return, it's £36. The one railway website even points out that two singles may be cheaper than a return.

The price difference seems to be squarely down to the fact that the two singles are for travel on specified timetabled services only, whereas the return allows travel on any services.
