Hi,
I am starting to get really worried.
I have booked advanced twin sleepers for the 11th August 2021 so I can return to London from a summer holiday in Lands End with my 16 yr old daughter to collect her GCSE's in person and confirm sixth form places (she is still undecided between a couple of local schools/ A level choices). The plan was to then get an afternoon train back the same day to rejoin the family holiday in Lands End that evening. When we booked the holiday we forgot about results day...
Now GWR have decided to not sell advance tickets for that week and I can not buy tickets on day trains without reservations which aren't available. The singles are crazily expensive in any case. We don't want to get a sleeper back and lose another night of holiday.
Are GWR likely to release advance tickets at some point and I should just keep watching the site, or do I need to stump up a couple of hundred for a non-reserved single to Exeter from Waterloo and ask the wife to collect us by car (probably worst option)? Other crazy option would be car hire for return journey... I can't face a coach.
Hopefully I am just being impatient and advanced tickets are going to be released.
Any assistance/ thoughts gratefully received.
