Does anyone have any information regarding when FirstMtr group advance fares might go on sale? At the moment National Rail still lists Waterloo to Exeter services as South West Trains after the 20th August, and SWT advance fares only go as far as 04th August.

As it is all due to happen reasonably soon, I would have expected more info to be available, or have I missed something?

Are FirstMtr or whatever they are going to call themselves likely to have a new web / booking site?

The availability is likely to be connected with the major engineering works at Waterloo during August, when services are going to be limited in number and much busier than usual. When are you planning to travel?

Specific dates are Fri 25th August and September 8th August, Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids departing after 09:30. I am aware of the works at Waterloo, it was more really a question of the fact that every other TOC has advanced fares available until at least the 8th September, but there is no information regarding FirstMtr, the trains will run during August, and no doubt be busier, but presumably be run by FirstMtr and not South West trains?

As has just been pointed out in the Waterloo blockade thread, there is only a 25% timetable running on Friday 25th. I doubt very much if they'd be selling any advances that day.
