Tickets for 2015 prices?

[petter2]

Hi,
where can I buy train tickets for last years prices? All online booking sites I checked already have the higher prices. I thought they increase only form tomorrow?
Thanks

I'm seeing 2015 prices for today and slightly higher prices for tomorrow on both NRES and on SWT (Trainline)

That's on a London fare which goes up from £37.50 to £37.80 - are you sure the ticket you need actually goes up?

(Just to add that you haven't been able to buy a ticket for 2nd Jan onwards at 2015 prices for about a month.)

Too late. If you want a ticket for a date after the price rise, but at the previous years price, you need to buy it several weeks in advance. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm when that date was...!

4th of December. I left it at 'about a month' I hadn't looked it up, but someone posted a detailed explanation here, explaining that it is the same every fares round: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2367062&postcount=18

The short version is that new fares apply for journeys after the "Fare Change Date" for tickets purchased within four weeks of same. So for the January fares round, that's round about the 4th of December.
