On Saturday 25th November I tried to book a First Class ticket off peak return ticket (London to Stourbridge Town) using the 10.49 Avanti Euston – Glasgow (via Birmingham) Sunday 26th.
Avanti (and other websites) said that first class was sold out on this (and a number of other Avanti trains from Euston).
I booked on a later Manchester train with change at Nuneaton but boarded the 10.49 anyway. There were about five people in the (half) First Class coach.
Is this just a computer glitch or are Avanti limiting First Class ticket sales, maybe because they allocate so few seats to this at weekends?
