Simple question, really, and it's in the title bar. Looking for a trip from GLC to down south, I know that Bargain Berths open up for another week in the future every week.

But what day of the week (and at what time on that day) does that happen? I seem to remember something about it being Friday morning?

Thank you!

Yes, updated every Friday between 11:00 and 15:30
The file has to be compiled by 13:30 at the latest

As far as I am aware this has only lapsed about three times and was then processed the following week on the Wednesday (when national reservations are updated)

Thank you! I seem to remember finding this out a few years ago and pouncing on an über-rare pair of £19 Euston - Fort Wiliam tickets one Friday morning.

I'll be watching tomorrow :)

So how did you get on?
The fourth week of August is selling out well
The Fort William mid-week sold out almost instantly

The allocation for Sundays northbound has been increased
Ironically, Sundays southbound sell better (even with the missing Edinburgh online)

Didn't make any purchase; at the moment I'm flexible so just watching out for £19 deals for a 'daytrip' to London.
