Summer rail prices

roryf

Hi there,

I'm trying to book a one-way ticket during August (London to Edinburgh) and have found that the cheap tickets all disappear after the 26th July! Normally I can get a Super Saver Advance for about £18 (with railcard) but the cheapest on offer in August is £65. I can come up with three explanations for why this is:

- They bumped the prices for the school holidays (cheeky !!!!!!s)
- All the super advance tickets are sold out (even on the latest date I can book!)
- The super advance tickets aren't on sale yet

Anyone shed any light? I want to book the 13th August which aren't on sale yet, so if its a case of them selling out I can always get in there as soon as they're available. Likewise if they haven't even gone on sale yet, but I'm guessing its a summer price hike thats buried in the Ts&Cs somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Rory

They haven't gone on sale yet. They go on sale 12 weeks maximum before the travel date - often less, occasionally much less.

Given that it's a Tuesday I doubt if they'll sell out THAT quick once on sale.
