As I've been stuck in work most of Xmas I thought it advisable to take full advantage of GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)'s sale and get advance tickets for £15 travelling between South Wales and London/ Berkshire for Jan, Feb, and March

So I managed to get some great deals but realising I needed to make a few more journeys I am now met with the "Ooops you have encountered an error" message on the missing desk screen. There is still 5 hours left of the sale
 

***update always read the T&Cs - its limited to 9 journeys***

Can you find out more?

Looking for a London/Cardiff trip on Jan 5th, but got caught by the 17day advance purchase requirement. If I can buy at a ticket office after Jan 2, all is not yet lost

Gwr ticket offices are able to sell as a backup (looks like they predicted website issues)
