As from November 23rd
Example A 22.47 train from London Victoria to Eastbourne the cost of the train will be £31.30 instead of £5
When I first queried this on the southern rail twitter feed I was advised they have technical problems.
However as they have been unable to rectify the fault the outcome is this reply from them
We do not have an obligation to put Advance tickets on specific trains, just because they existed in the past. We review and assess quotas and trains based on capacity, time of travel and passenger demand. Huw
I understand this,however fares to Brighton remain late night where as a £5,£8 or £11 fare withdrawal is some increase without any publicity

I was also advised to take a train 37 mins earlier indirectly to Brighton and then catch another one after many years of getting an advance fare from Victoria direct to Eastbourne..impossible to get to Victotia for an earlier train so effectively £26.30 increase with no warning or an increase of £8 if travelling return same day
