Title: Advance Fares Post by: Jez on April 22, 2008, 18:07:17 I am looking to book online for a journey after June and when going to the available tickets there dont seem to be any of the cheaper "advance fares" available.
Does anyone know if there is a change ahead for fares or is it just too soon for the cheaper fares to appear? Thanks. Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: swlines on April 22, 2008, 18:08:41 It may be that they are sold out, however I would suggest that if it is after 24 June that they are not and that reservations are just not available yet.
Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: Jez on April 22, 2008, 18:18:41 Thats what I was thinking as well. I find it hard to believe every say is sold out in July whilst there are still cheap tickets available for May and June.
I suppose what I am asking is will cheap fares continue post June? Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: swlines on April 22, 2008, 18:26:14 Of course - reservations just aren't open yet.
Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: Ollie on April 22, 2008, 18:29:23 The advance fares will be changing May 18th. However prices should remain the same for FGW Priced Flows.
We should all remember that have FGW have said they will not put their fares up this year. http://www.iworkforfgw.com/information/index.php?page=newfarestructure Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: Jez on April 22, 2008, 18:43:16 Thanks.
But its more Arriva Trains Wales journey than a FGW one! Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: swlines on April 22, 2008, 18:51:27 All fares are changing names ;)
Ollie, completely off topic but have you seen the proposed new name for rover tickets that someone with too much time has come up with??

Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: swlines on April 22, 2008, 22:17:54 Not yet... want to see whether Ollie has heard it first ;)
It's still meant to be a secret anyway!! Title: Re: Advance Fares Post by: Ollie on April 23, 2008, 09:15:29 I haven't had anything confirmed to me about the rover tickets.
