Problem with purchasing Chiltern tickets

I'm trying to see if there are any advance tickets left for Saturday to Birmingham on Chiltern but both the National Rail and Virgin app refuse to provide a route, I tried specifying Marylebone to Moor Street and it returned a route via Euston and then via High Wycombe but it came up with a route via GWR through Oxford. Is this just a blip, or is there something more nefarious at work here?

Edit: just checked on the Chiltern site, same issue! Very strange...

There are, but according to RTT none the other way. Someone's stuffed up there.

Only 6 departures showing from Marylebone all day despite all the arrivals. Oops. Anyone got anywhere to stack a load of DMUs? :D

There's a modified Wembley timetable on, so I suspect someone's forgotten to enter half of it...

Here is a link to the TT applicable on Saturday:

There are trains into Marylebone on Saturday.
There had better be, because I've already brought an advanced ticket for myself and the itinerary given was for a direct service with no diversions, my travelling partner might just have to stump up for an super off-peak return

I've already booked advance tickets for myself, the booked train will run, right?
I'm not getting my hopes up!

Yep, it's the 7.00AM departure to Moor Street, coming back on the 21:18 service.

Then it'll run (subject to problems on the day as usual). It seems Chiltern have stuffed up entering the timetable so the planners are not showing it. This will be costing them a packet.

Maybe Tweet them and point it out?

Sometimes alterations happen after you book, but not to worry: if it doesn't run, you can take an appropriate alternative service. If the delay into your destination is 30 or more minutes later than originally booked, you can claim delay compensation.
