Looking on a few websites, the prices are exactly the same on three of the sites, but on your own ticket site, it's a fair bit cheaper (see image attached)

I think I have compared apples with apples and not made a mistake .. 2 adults travelling, with a two Together railcard.

It seems, for less than a tenner each for a decent length of journey, it's too good an offer to refuse .. my wife and I have never travelled first class before.

My first question .. is everything correct .. just wondering why your site is cheaper

Secondly .. there doesn't seem an opportunity to book actual seats .. or is there a way around this, without having to phone TPE after making a booking. I don't really know, but does first normally have plenty of space ?

thank you !


Note .. I am actually travelling on 29th October .. but was just looking a prices a couple of weeks earlier to see how prices are falling .. no doubt it'll be two more weeks until tickets for the date I wish to travel on become available .. well, I mean, available for cheap

It looks like the forum site is ticketing from the ‘TPE & Connections’ ‘bucket’ whereas other sites are using ‘TPE only’.

Quite why that might be I couldn’t say.
