FGW sleeper fares

[Sleepy]

notice there are fewer cheaper tier Sleeper berth inc. fares available in September on non "peak" nights, are FGW expecting autumn Cornish holiday rush or have quota`s been adjusted to boost revenue ?

It won't boost revenue if people don't travel and the berths don't get occupied. £49 is better than nowt.

:roll: Very True.

But of course if FGW are putting up the prices then they must believe they'll be able to sell just as many fares at the higher price than at the lower.

And that of course is the gamble.

Wouldn't surprise me if September was a popular month for sleeper travel - seniors on holiday/people taking short breaks in Cornwall/London, on top of (in addition too before someone comments!) the business users.

Indeed! It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. Speaking as a passenger I can only hope it fails and they have to go back to the usual price

It would appear I will have to eat me words: Monday night next week all Sleeper berths booked !! ( on up Night Riv). Seems those elusive 49.00 berths do still exist - on a Tuesday in November Lol
