I was looking at getting the sleeper back from Kent and was trying to find out what Advance Fares they had including berths that they talk about on the website.

When I called however, the cheapest was a standard return with normal supplement. Do advance tickets exist? If so, are they released yet for 9th November? I looked at ATOC» (Association of Train Operating Companies see - here) booking horizons and from what I could tell they should be out.  Huh

I had the same thing when I rang FGW▸ (First Great Western) the other day. I was enquiring about a trip from Penzance to Paddington at the end of October and was quoted the Saver fare from Penzance to Paddington plus the berth supplement.

Does anyone have any info on if the advanced sleeper fares are still available?  Huh
