Britrail London Pass or purchase tickets separately?

I'm trying to decide if it's more economical to purchase tickets separately or to buy the 4 day London Pass from Britrail for $129 per person.
We plan on going to Windsor, Hampton Court, Bath, and either Canterbury or Stratford Upon Avon. I've tried pricing tickets through Qjump and GNER but both are telling me I'm denied access to the pricing page.
I'm sure it's a computer problem on my end but I'd like to know if anyone else has found the 4 day pass to be more economical.
We will be in London March 14-22.
Thanks.

Try www.nationalrail.co.uk. Hampton Court is in Greater London so won't cost much. Bath and Statford will be more expensive journeys. There will be many different fares depending on what time of day you go, whether you're going there and back on the same day, and whether you book in advance and commit yourself to a specific train.

Thanks GeoffHamer. I forgot about National Rail. Just talked to Britrail and the pass doesn't cover Bath or Stratford so I guess I answered my own question.

Besides the rail tickets, for your itinerary I would definitely buy the Great British Heritage Pass.

It will cover Windsor, H C Palace, the Roman Baths, all of the Shakesoeare properties in Stratford, plus nearby Warwick Castle.

Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare! I hate it when I do that (but I usually post w/o previewing so I suppose I could do something about it)
