I would be really grateful of some help with this one please guys. I am needing to travel to Oban arriving there no later then 14:00 on 8 July. Returning any time after 10:00 on 14 July.
Living in Formby I am happy to start my journey here, Liverpool, Southport or Preston (can be quicker to get direct bus to Preston and get train from there). I understand getting to Oban 14:00 may be tight so may need to travel night before.
My arrival time is critical. I have been looking at through tickets from Formby, Liverpool and Preston in both directions and I am not getting any advances, just Anytime Single or Return. I have tried looked for Advances between Glasgow and Oban and I am getting nothing whatsoever. It appears Scotrail have placed a block on advances on this route and that is meaning VT & Connections tickets are not being offered either.
I have also tried dates surrounding my arrival and departure dates with a view of staying in Oben and/or Glasgow but still the same result.
I have a disabled person's railcard. Any advise?
