So Avanti seem to have hiked their advanced fares by 40-50%...
Yep and their website doesn’t seem to allow advance bookings for weekends. They’ve done literally nothing good since taking over from Virgin apart from painting the trains a different colour.
Advanced bookings were released for the Burnley game today. Around £55-60 with railcards. Absolutely ridiculous.
Seems to be across the board with trains. Think they have seen a chance to increase fares due to lower numbers.I have been looking at Liverpool>Norwich overnight return and it is £120. I have done euro aways cheaper, including flight, match ticket and hotel. Gonna end up driving.
I think I was a bit premature with my criticisms, me and my group managed to get returns for the Palace match for £34 the other day. The fares are out there, think you just have to be quick as they put them up at random times.[/quoteWas that by a chance viewing of there site or was it from an email alert? Ta

TaA mate sorts it all out for us. We get email alerts and managed to book for approx £45 after the alert, the next day another mate sent a message saying cheaper fares were available and as we were within 24 hours of booking our initial fares we were able to cancel and get the cheaper ones.
"I think I was a bit premature with my criticisms, me and my group managed to get returns for the Palace match for £34 the other day.

Should try London Northwestern railway, they operate the slow trains out of Euston, but you have to change at Stafford/Crewe & can take an extra hour plus, compared with the Avanti service, but you can get cheap deals with them.

do the prices tend to fluctuate then? Best i can see for the Palace game currently is £94.50 return (without railcard)
Checked with Avanti and advance tickets have sold out so the only option is the £94.50 return, is a scandal that they are allowed to charge that much, travelling via Birmingham can be cheaper some times as there is more competition on the routes.
Sorry I meant for the palace game on the 18th
For those looking to go up on the 28th of August for the Chelsea game the timetables should be released tomorrow morning.I work for a TOC and it’s rumoured that there will be replacement busses between Euston and MK 😕 but don’t quote me on that.
Any idea what time they go on sale?
BH weekend on sale now
Still said the timetable hasn't been finalisedEither way if you were planning on travelling up and down on the day of the game from London I'd be very surprised if there were trains after the match
i had the email and have looked at the trains, they are there, I had to refresh from a previous search though. There is a 20.04 London Northwestern/Midland that gets in 00.40, you'd have to get out of the ground pretty sharpish though.
You'd probably have to miss the last 10 minutes of the game to get a taxi back to town for that and even then you'll really struggle for the last tubes with night tube not returning yet.
When I did a search though there was a big pop up saying "The timetable hasn't been finalised yet"
It is insane that they keep scheduling London teams to pay 5.30 on Saturday when there are no train's back that evening. Though you could argue that 6 weeks notice is enough for the train companies to schedule 4-5 trains to run from 8.30pm
The ticket booking page on the Avanti website has disappeared. It’s been gone all morning. Anyone know why? Possible ticket release?
Will there be advanced fares on it?
Sorry I missed your message.Did you sort train tickets for Burnley?
Anyone knows why there are no trains listed for Sundays (London to Liverpool) from 26.09.?I know it's said that timetables not confirmed yet - but why?Do they put it randomly or are they do it on specyfic day for each Sunday?
