Hi. I am travelling from Edinburgh to York on Friday 5th April, returning Saturday. With the planned strikes I reserved the right number of seats on the 10:30 train from Edinburgh a few days ago. Now when I go to buy the ticket the website shows 'Not available'. It will happily sell me an off peak single for the previous and next trains with restriction code 3V. Oddly, the 11:30 is also unavailable and the 12:00 and 12:30 are unavailable in standard class too.
Can I just buy tickets for a different train and use them on the 10:30, or am I missing something that could lead to a fine?
I've already purchased advance tickets form an earlier station and will be on the 10:30 train as it arrives into Edinburgh, hence the strong preference to stay sat on the same train for the whole journey. Did this so I could avoid buying a peak ticket for the whole journey - especially frustrating as Scotrail services don't require peak tickets now anyway.
