EMR offers an Alert to tell you when Advance tickets are going on sale for a particular route and date.
But it doesn't work reliably.
Trying to register for an alert for Matlock-St Pancras on Sun 5 Jan, it tells me "Good news. Your tickets may already be on sale, search for tickets" - but there aren't any Advances available. All gone already?
No - EMR Customer Services tell me that this is a glitch - the tickets are not on sale yet (because the timetable for that date has not yet been confirmed with Network Rail) but that because their alerts system thinks that they are already on sale, registering for an alert is pointless as it will not trigger an email.
Any clever ideas of how, short of daily attempts to book tickets, I can spot when the tickets go on sale?
