Hi all,
I want to travel on Tue 26/01/16 on the following trains:
1012 Hull - York (1120)
1154 York - Darlington (1220)
1232 Darlington - Saltburn (1324)
(there may be slight variations to times in the new timetable)
As the VTEC trains should be available for booking this week, I tested it today using the previous Tuesday.
Firstly, BRFares lists various Advance fares (using XC / TPE) from Hull to either Middlesborough or Saltburn, but I can't get these to show, only the full price ticket on the GWR website and no fares at all on the VTEC site! Does anybody know a reason for this?
Secondly, if using my preferred trains as above, is there a way, if I buy an Advance from Hull to Darlington route VTEC&connections, of getting a website to offer me the 1154 YRK-DAR rather than the 1136 for the reservable leg? If I'm going to spend half an hour or so waiting I'd rather do it in the pub at York! Or would a ticket office (ie Swindon) be able to do it?
Many thanks for any replies.
