There currently aren't any. Is that because Virgin haven't yet loaded advance fares for August, or because there aren't going to be any advance fares in August?

I suspect they haven't loaded them yet. My understanding is that Advance fares tend to be loaded about twelve weeks in advance and August 1 is exactly twelve weeks away. Give it a few days and see what happens.

Edited to add: National Rail has this message about August 1 "It is not yet known how Virgin Trains services will be affected by engineering work from Saturday 26 July to 1 August 2014. Please check back nearer the time of travel." This likely affects the release of Advance tickets.

NRE has a list of which advance tickets each TOC should have available on this page. You chould buy advance tickets now for ATW and Chiltern, but buying Virgin ones next week will probably be better value.

Thanks so much for this invaluable tip - which no doubt I should have read elsewhere on this site. NRE is indeed currently showing 31 July as the cut-off date for Virgin.
But I can't see any engineering works affecting Virgin on 1 August. Am I being thick about that too?
