no cheap seats left

Has anyone else noticed that the.trainline.com site is not displaying cheap ticket options? I went on yesterday to look for tickets from Plymouth to London in July and the cheapest option I was given was the standard return fare.

I find it hard to believe that all the "cheap seats" have been snapped up and a friend who lives in London said he has had problems getting tickets too.

  • I think it is simply the case that they haven't been released yet. You can currently get £13 one way fares from Plymouth to London up to 1st July on nationalrail.co.uk (which I prefer to trainline.com).

    Just keep checking back over the next few days and I think they will appear soon.

    This is the answer. When they are released make sure you use a different site (most people think nxec is best) to book as thetrainline charges unnecessary booking fees.
