UK train tickets

[nipperS2K]

Just how difficult is it to buy an advance ticket online, its ridiculous and I have lost patience, nearly chucked the computer through the window. Anyone have any easy suggestions or a way to buy 4 weeks in advance doing home to London on the Monday and return on the Friday?

Can't be that hard? What's not working?

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ Will also do the job, without charging a booking fee!

And if the route doesn't require a change of companies, just use the train operator's website to buy the ticket.

nationalrail.co.uk is easiest though.

Absolutely, I can be a ticket through the Virgin Trains site for a non-Virgin Train.

I think the train companies which offer that use nationalrail as their site's 'back end'.
