    On this topic, does anyone have any idea how long Avanti are taking to process these? I've been waiting a month now and have yet to receive the e-voucher. I called them up (after waiting an hour or so) and they said they can't process the refund request over the phone. It's a little...

    VTEC advances Sunday 3 June

    I can see the confusion though. The website should state that tickets are available for weekend travel up to and including: Saturday 02 June. How late potentially could advance tickets for 03 June go on sale?

    London to Southampton fare advice

    Thanks Yorkie, Travelling from Harrow & Wealdstone so happy to go from Clapham junction if that provided a cheaper fare. We would be back the same day too. That would sound the best way but only if valid of course!
