Trying to make reservations for 27/12, I have been trying to work out how to tell when flexible-ticket reservations will open for a particular date.
Websites suggest "12 weeks ahead", but today I have been told that neither TPX or EMT can reserve for 27 December, 83 days ahead. The National Rail journey planner includes 27/12 as the furthest-ahead date it will cover, which I thought might be a pointer to reservation horizons, but clearly not.
The picture I got from the agent at EMT Customer Service was of different TOCs opening reservations on different dates, with no central website to show the status of individual dates, and not all TOCs even offering such information on their own sites.
Is there really no way, short of making phone calls to Customer Service lines every day, to find out when reservations open for a particular travel date?
