Really want to get the 1131 W&S departure on Sunday from Shrewsbury but the first train to Shrewsbury does not arrive until 1127.

the next train is 1357 which would be annoying enough if I had to wait at Shrewsbury for 2.5 hours (well I wouldnt - i'd go home and get a later train if on arrival at ludlow the train was late) however it would be doubly so if I was then refused the advance fare on the later train.

Any thoughts?

Well - moot point - time table change means the first train to Shrewsbury now arrives AFTER the W&S departure.

So I go to the W&S website - try to book tickets for phone delivery.  Won't let me because it apparently does not like my mobile phone number.  So I try print yourself - still won't let me because of the mobile phone issue even though you dont need one if you print yourself.

Tried signing up with a different email address and going straight to print yourself - no can do. 

Phoned up telesales to get an advance fare in first on the 1355 departure on Sunday - no can do, they have nothing (even though the W&S site says they do)

Finally got it through the trainline!

A less persistant sort would have just given up
