I’ve tried the Thameslnk website and it offers fares either side of the two trains you’re showing, so the problem is likely to be a lack of reservations on the particular LNER trains.

Northern site offers an Anytime single at £187.40.

I think everything powered by SilverRail is (incorrectly?) showing no availability. None of LNER, GWR, or NationalRail.co.uk (all powered by SilverRail IPTIS journey planner) show any availability.
On the other hand Trainline, Railsmartr, Raileasy all show an Anytime Single for £187.40.

Thameslink now shows the Anytime return, which it was not doing earlier. LNER doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any trains!
I reported this to LNER and its still not fixed a week later with no trains shown apart from the odd random one on certain dates.
Insane that people will be told no tickets are available or will end up buying two tickets for their journey and paying more than they need to. Surely it should not be this difficult to fix booking engine issues - Brighton to York is not that complex a journey.
