UKrailtours website issues?

[Kite159]

Is anybody else getting the following message pop up when trying to book tickets via the UK Railtours website?

"Persits.MailSender.4 error '800a001c'

Transport Layer Security Error #40 (TLS): Invalid TLS version (0x3530).

/setup.asp, line 582 "

Looks like I shall try and book the trip to Swanage tomorrow

Not for me, using Chrome. Perhaps try a different browser/device?

Same issue coming up on both IE 11 & Chrome for my Nexus (as well as Firefox 30)

I had that last night. I just rang them up earlier and ordered over the phone. The impression I got was that they were aware. But managed to get what I wanted.

I shall probably do that tomorrow during my lunch-break.

Cheap day out when it includes connections on the SWT network, plus takes into Laverstock north junction, one bit of uncovered track which has bugged me for a while (and I keep missing the XC diversions which use it when Basingstoke-Southampton is closed)

I'm also trying to book the Swanage 159 and having issues. I'll probably just ring them on my lunch.

The whole website is down now, I called them to make my booking which the nice lady at the end of the phone sorted out for me

Just phoned up to book it

Is it reserved seating on the 159s (making use of the old seat reservation numbers from when SWT used to do reserved seating) or is it a free for all?

It's booked seating on a 159 - take it you booked the Swanage tour? Same as me.

Edit: Learned to read before I post - I see you have indeed booked on the Swanage tour.

We went with them to Swanage last year, and again to Kingswear a few weeks ago. As you'd expect on a railtour, you're allocated a coach and seat letter/number.

So no worries about a free for all; hope you have a great day out!

How will the "free connections on SWT services" work? Will it be a case of showing your ticket for the railtour to get access to a SWT service?

Yes. It's worth remembering though that you can only travel to the closest station the tour is from.
