First Great Western -advance train tickets release dates?

crazyjamie

I need to travel from London to Oxford in April - travelling out the afternoon of Friday 20th April, back the morning of Sunday 22nd April. You would think I'd stand a good chance of getting a cheap ticket...

So, is there any way to work out when First Great Western will release Advance tickets for this weekend? Tickets aren't available at all yet - I'm getting the message:
"We're sorry - tickets are not available more than 13 weeks in advance. Please select an earlier date or try again nearer your travel date."

If I look at some dates 11 or 12 weeks from now I don't see much in the way of Advance fares either, though ... but maybe that's because it's so close to Easter?

Can anyone help?

If there are SOME advance fares available then it means they have been released

There is no strict timetable for release of tickets - well in theory there is but it doesn't happen in reality.

On this route they are unlikely to all get snapped up right away though so it shouldn't matter if you miss the release date by a day or two - or even a week or two.
