Fares Swansea to London

« on: April 03, 2013, 11:29:12 »

Hi,

I was wondering why on most dates now the cheapest advance Swansea to London is ^17 and not ^13.

I'm looking, at 25th May between 03:58 and 05:58 Swansea to London

and alot of other dates.

Is this another error?

Nope, the entire lot seem to be ^17 cheapest. Was ^13 a few days ago and it's not just 1 day its most of them.

That's my point. Advances can rise at any stage, not just at the three fatre points during the year. Tourist season is upon us....

It's not the fares themselves that have risen but the cheapest fares are simply not being made available. Advance Fares are offered on the basis of filling otherwise empty seats, so if FGW^▸ thinks services will be busier on certain dates then it is likely that the cheapest fares won't be made available.
