Hi All

Trying to get from Par to Cambridge on Wed 27th July, going up on the sleeper ideally with a cabin.

Advance singles are showing as limited availability, but no sign of advance tickets for the cabin tickets which are frighteningly expensive.

Are sleeper advance tickets still available, or has demand rendered them an option from the past?

Am I best just snagging the seated singles while they are there?

All feedback greatly appreciated.

Cheers all.

They have changed the way tickets are sold.  You need to buy the travel and berth tickets separately.

Note Advance tickets can't be used in cabins. It's walk tickets plus berth supplements only.
