No APEX tickets for April but booking up to mid July?! Have I missed the APEX tickets

I've just looked for tickets from Exeter St Davids to London (Waterloo usually being the cheapest) for end of April and it's booking tickets up to the middle of July with no cheap ones?!

I have booked the trains loads of times and nothing has ever been available more than 3 months in advance. Does this mean that they've decided to allow advanced booking 6 months ahead and I have missed the APEX tickets or will they be released 3 months before the date that I need them? I normally register for an email when they go on sale but neither FGW, Virgin Trains or TheTrainLine are allowing me to do that.

What's going on?!

OH is doing the London Marathon but I am a terrible traveller and can only travel by train or car (frankly, I don't want to even CONSIDER tackling London or leaving my car in a car park for the weekend) and we can't afford to pay £300 to get up there and back.
I'm fuming as I looked before Xmas and there were only tickets available up to 3 months then!
