Any ideas why they are not out? Still just the normal £40 tickets!?

I am looking to go on the 16th to London from Mancs and would expect by now these to be out!?

    confirms they are not released. Late planning of engineering work by Network Rail is the usual culprit.

    If you don't mind a slightly slower journey, there are tickets available at £11 in Standard Class and £16 in First Class to St Pancras. If you visit a rail ticket selling website such as the Trainline, put in Sheffield in the 'via' box and it will bring up these fares, which are available on several trains. From experience, the cheap tickets on Virgins sell fast especially on Sundays.
