But with sale only on for 48 hours...

Including today would mean much less than 48 hours now.

Just asked on Twitter.

There's a technical issue with loading the Fares into the booking engine. Deja vu.

Just like last time they ran a promotion.  Roll Eyes

Well I have the email, and the offer is for Advance Singles for travel between Oxford and Paddington between 11th Jan and 2nd March from ^6.
Given that I live in Didcot and don't fancy travelling to Oxford to get a cheap ticket it isn't of much use.
Maybe  I was sent the email because I live in an OX postcode  Angry
Although I don't really understand why you can't purchase advance tickets, towards London, from Didcot, given that I believe that you can purchase them on all the trains that go through Didcot towards London e.g. Cheltenham, Bristol, Oxford, Worcester etc.

Hi All,

Just booked two deals , both trains leaving Padd. during peak hours on the return part and it said made a saving of over 198 pounds.

You have to be quick some are showing very few tickets.
