Does anyone know why advance tickets on the 2230 and 2330 Euston-West Midlands are blocked on 9 and 10 November? I've checked regularly since the dates were released and am sure tickets for these services (only these services) have never been released.

I know that on these dates the service will terminate at New Street, but so will they on 7, 8 and 11, all of which the advance tickets have been released for.

Staff at Rugby once told me that advance tickets have to be released train by train and that's it's not unknown for services to be missed. Is this really true? And could it have happened here?

These services are blocked as Virgin are awaiting a timetable confirmation for these nights. Expect tickets to be released nearer the time. The 2143 is still showing as available.

Essentially, the ASA, Trading Standards etc demand that TOCs cannot sell tickets for a train which does not defintely exist.
