I'e been trying since 10:30pm and it is now 11:45pm and the booking engine appears to be down as it won't recognise any station names.

The e-mail I received from Great Western Railway at 16:23 yesterday says:

Dear Chris,

Our great value offer is here. You can now access Advance purchase single tickets between Bristol and London Paddington from just ^10 for travel between 11 January and 2 March 2016.

And the good news is, you can buy as many tickets as you like. So book now ^ the countdown is underway.

Problem is, I can't remember the last time I travelled to Paddington - but there are many other destination stations that I could find useful.

Why do GWR^▸ apparently assume that I'd only find cheap tickets to London of any interest? Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

That was still the case 30 minutes ago!

I had the same problem, but the app works.

Made use of this toady for a few tickets for my mum.

The website is very clunky and it was really difficult to book for more than one journey, ended up doing 3 separate transactions.

Further, it seems that there are triple nectar points on offer too!

I got both these offers - "Avon Triple Bonus Nov15" and "West of England triple off-peak STD" so, for a ^26 spend, I got a total of 156 Nectar points!
