Advance tickets are sold as singles. If your departure and return dates are different, you will receive two alerts.

** We attempt to detect when Advance tickets have been released each day by analysing the results of millions of users’ journey searches. Occasionally there may be dates or routes that haven’t yet been detected, or there may be interim dates when timetables and Advance tickets are yet to be confirmed by train operators. We’ll do our very best to alert you as soon as our systems detect availability.
