Peak restrictions over the festive period.

« on: October 18, 2009, 06:36:37 »

In past years I am sure that December 24th saw peak ticket restrictions lifted across the board. It doesn't appear to be the case on FGW^▸ toward London this year (or from Paddington in the morning peak). Searching both trainline and MixingDeck based ticket sellers throws up lifted restrictions only between 28th-31st Dec.

VWC and NXEC^▸ both appear to have lifted restrictions for 24th Dec on all services. Why are FGW being so miserly? Not very festive of them. Sad

On a seperate but similar note, does anyone know why, despite FGW^▸ 's website advertising that tickets can now be bought up to the 6th Jan, no advance tickets are showing. The same is true if you use Network Rail's site yet I have just managed to buy advanced tickets for 6th Jan using Southeastern's site.

Get to try out HS1^▸ on this ojurney though which is quite exciting!

Just looked at a random journey for 6th Jan via FGW Website and it showed Advance being available as advertised.
