Greater Anglia Advance Tickets

[leytongabriel]

I go up from Stratford to Ipswich off-peak on a weekly basis.

Advance tickets have been £11 £14 and £17 return with a senior travel card on the GA app. Recently these have disappeared, and they are £22 to £30+; a huge increase.

It's not that the trains are busier, if anything the opposite, so what's going on? Is it a website thing or a change of policy following nationalisation?

What dates and times are you looking at?

What are the last travel dates you got them for £11, £14 or £17 and when did you book them?

I searched for a random date in April, and found a return journey was only £14.60, and the return journey was during the morning peak:

I don't use the GA app or website, so can't comment on whether it could be a "website thing", but it's very rare for TOC websites to beat ours!
