Why are off peak train time such a ****ing secret!?

[Ari]

Trying to book a train with an open return. Offered off peak, super off peak or normal tickets but obviously no clue about what train times these might apply to. A Google search has come up with some guff about train times leaving London - not a lot of use if your journey doesn't start in London. Ah, but what if it travels through London? Not a clue.

Oh, and they're planning to be on strike again so trains are likely to be erratic anyway, and chock full and with no facilities (food or drink). But in light of the massive inconvenience, tickets are half price - oh wait, no they're not they're still full price and tough st!

Does anyone have link to a site that might actually give a clue as to which trains which tickets apply to (in the vague hope that they're actually running)..?

It's very handy, there is a Trainline App to that allows you to check times & book tickets.

I rarely get a train but always have the trainline app on my as its seriously handy for checking times or if picking people up from a station.

I use that one but then go to the virgin trains site to book/pay (avoids the £1 fee).
