Trains timetabled but no fares?

2.4K Posts


I've been trying for a few days to book return tickets for my husband and I, to no avail.
The journey is for the end of October, so less than 12 weeks away. So I'd usually be able to book.
I keep getting the train times but no fares available.
Have tried multiple operators all saying the same?

We're sorry.
Sorry - although there are trains timetabled to run, they are all either sold out or are not yet open for booking.
Any ideas or help please?

Going late afternoon Wed 26 Oct or the morning Thurs 27 Oct.
And returning after 10am on Sun 30 Oct.
BUT I can book for same dates London to Edinburgh???
Will that be more expensive going via Leeds do you know?
Haven't booked accommodation yet as we just want a cheap break.
So if it's going to cost an arm and a leg will just find somewhere else!!!
Seems to be lots of warning for transpennine trains. And it mentions lots of short notice cancellations
It will take about 5 hours as the direct Leeds to Blackpool takes a scenic, but slow route along the Calder Valley.
Can find prices on national rail but when the transfer me to the train operators site, it suddenly becomes unavailable.
Although it appears I can book via split ticket.
If I do book via split ticket will it be ok to get a refund if trains are cancelled etc??
I don't usually book through a third party site?
But wouldn't a regular ticket rather than advance be more expensive?
