  • Thanks for the quick response. I know the home page states seats released upto 6th July, but if you search for a seat on the dates mentioned in my earlier post they are available to book. I then did a search for seats the weekend after ie the 21st to the 22nd and these are unavailable to book.

    Is that the one in Bristol or the one in France?

    If the latter Ryanair fly there from London Stansted. Also from Liverpool to Nimes (not far off) which might be more convenient for you.

    If the former Virgin trains to Bristol, then local train or bus.

    Seats being available to book does not mean cheap tickets released to book - the two can and often are be on different dates.
  • OK. Thanks for the info. Will wait for the cheap seats to be released.

    Could be they are in the process of doing it - the date on the site will be changed when they've finished. I understand the whole process is quite lengthy.

    I'm confident you'll get your cheap seats.

    Where TO Jodie?

    If it's Manchester (as another of your posts suggests) just go onto the Virgin Trains web site and poke your dates in. I'd start from London (I assume you can get there easily from Cheshunt) which is where the cheap fares will be from.

    July cheap fares may or may not be there yet - if they are not keep trying.

    Get yourself the free family railcard posted on theis site, then pay for one of the kids, even if they are under 5 you can do this, you will then get a total fare of £86:25 for all 4 of you. You have to change at Norwich & Nottingham, so you could try breaking the journey into smaller sections and see if that works out cheaper.
