Normally, the timetable for any particular day is confirmed 12 weeks in advance. For a temporary period Network Rail isn’t able to do this, instead confirming timetables approximately 8 weeks in advance. This means that for some routes, online journey planners, including National Rail, will not be completely accurate until approximately 8 weeks before travel.
For the overwhelming majority of customers there is no impact, particularly if they travel Mondays to Fridays other than in the late evening.
Where engineering work is taking place, details about the train times and schedules for any replacement buses will not be available until approximately 8 weeks before. Be aware that the normal timetable will show in journey planners up until this point. Where we are aware that the timetable is not yet correct, the National Rail journey planner will show a yellow warning triangle against the trains concerned.
Customers are advised to try to book as normal. Advance tickets for many routes will still go on sale 12 weeks in advance, but where they don’t they will be available from approximately 8 weeks before the date of travel. Many train companies let customers sign up through their website to receive an email when Advance tickets go on sale. National Rail also has information about the latest availability of Advance tickets.
Where it is not possible to book tickets 12 weeks in advance as usual, train operators will still offer the same range of discounted Advance tickets – they will just go on sale later.
If customers buy a ticket on a train that is subsequently cancelled, rescheduled, or where a seat reservation will not be honoured, they can decide not to travel and have a full refund with no administration fee.
Where Advance tickets have not yet gone on sale, customers can still buy Anytime, Off‐Peak and Super Off‐Peak tickets where they are available. If customers buy one of these and later discover a cheaper Advance ticket on sale for the same journey, they should book the Advance ticket and ask for a refund on the original ticket – there will be no admin fee.
Unless listed in Latest information by train company below, these dates are when the information is expected to be showing correctly in the journey planner.
