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.

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.

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?

The advance fares will be changing May 18th. However prices should remain the same for FGW▸ (First Great Western) Priced Flows.
We should all remember that have FGW have said they will not put their fares up this year.

Oh dear...I think with "Off peak" as a ticket name, this could signal the start of the evening restrictions on former CDR▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) tickets...
