Hey

Maybe ollie can get this corrected, nationalrail is showing no advances from Swansea to Paddington on 12th May.
I see ^12.50 advanced tickets at 1328 and 1428.
I also see plenty of ^20.50 tickets for any time after the 1028 train.

First class advanced tickets appear to be ^33.

This seems to be standard for every Saturday in May.

Is there some sort of major event happening somewhere along the route that day (e.g. football or rugby in London or Cardiff)?

Wales playing at Twickenham (even if it is only 7s) could well explain it I reckon...

Unfortunately today didn't quite go as planned so I couldn't get round to asking anyone - but I'm glad the issue has been resolved for you. Smiley
