They do still do the cheap "advance" tickets its just they get released the week before(i know its stupid af).
I went to london in november - down the friday home the following weekend - set ticket alerts on trainline and they emailed to say tickets for X date have just been released and sure enough it was showing "£32 advance ticket - 5 remaining at this price" or something to that effect. The emails for each came maybe 5 days before my travel date.
So they are still doing the limited number of cheap tickets its just they cant physically sell them so far in advance due to the short notice strikes/changes.
Hope that makes sense
Ps - sign up for the avanti alerts too on their own site |
