Title: Where are FGW advance ticket dates published?
Post by: johngreg on October 02, 2012, 17:37:53
Does anyone know where FGW advance ticket dates published? I thought the general rule was they where available 12 weeks before.

However, the week prior to Xmas no advance tickets seem to be available for the route that I want. Is this something special about Xmas trains and tickets?

The official situation is here:

On past form they'll probably become available at the end of this week.  I'd take 12 weeks to mean 'between 11 and 12 weeks', as they only update about once a week, as far as I can work out.

Friday morning is usually when advance tickets are released, typically for 7 days at a time. This does quite often change around Christmas though, so it may be couple of weeks before tickets are released.
