Trainline website and rail strikes next week

[A580Hojas]

I'm trying to book a ticket for Thursday next week and getting "tickets not available" I assume because of the strikes on Wednesday affecting Thursday.

So now I'm looking at Friday 7th and the website says "tickets coming soon" - does anyone know if this is the usual thing on Trainline for tickets more than a week in advance, or do you think it means that tickets will also turn out to be unavailable on Friday because of further disruption caused by the strike? And when will I know?

Help!

What rail company is it? Regardless of strikes Avanti are a nightmare at the moment and not selling tickets more than a day or two in advance.

I've been trying for a few weeks to book a ticket for this Sunday and the website is still showing tickets coming soon/timetable not yet confirmed

Yep the same as poster above I’ve been trying to book tickets to Manchester for last 2 weeks and Avanti are running a massively reduced timetable at the moment and not allowing the purchasing of tickets too far in advance. I found it helped if I selected an open return rather than selecting a specific date. That seemed to make more outward trains available to me.

I think you will be able to travel, it's just that buying tickets is a pain at the moment.

I've ended up buying day returns on the day at the station (where you can just select where you're going, no need for a time), or open returns. There don't seem to be any cheap advance fares about anyway, so it hasn't made much of a difference in price.
