Avanti Trains (match day travel from the South East)

Are you sure the trains are running,the reason I say this is because they do alot of track works over the Xmas period....this may be a reason it won't let you put the codes in as maybe no trains....just a thought...

i posted a question on here a few weeks ago
i use google.chrome and on their website,the widget to use to book tickets would not appear,i switched tempory to microsoft edge and it works.

surely,if trains aren't running,i know they are doing repairs etc around xmas/new year,they should have adjusted their website by now?

i was dissapointed with them initialy which led to them giving me these 2 free ticket codes,now I'm furious.

I was given 2 free first class ticket discount codes in October to be used within 1 year
It was over a minor dispute i had with avanti
Iv just tried to buy two return tickets for Manc -Euston for the arsenal away game on new years day
and the codes are " invalid " ,Iv tried 3 times and they wont work,grrrrrrrrr.

I’ve had the same offer, the snag is that these are for Advance first class tickets and I’ve never seen these being offered on a match day.

Simon Calder wrote in the independent today that avanti are reinstating three trains an hour with cheaper advance tickets at £30 each way. Hopefully this will help some of our long distance supporters.

Avanti can stuff it. I intend to avoid them as much as possible in the future. I've been going to Doncaster Station, £5 each way petrol, £5 parking, £30 return Kings Cross. Or £20 with railcards. Half the price of Avanti.
 
Up on the 8.20 Avanti from Euston, on time…
Back on the 5.15 on time - amazing, though the 16.55 cancelled not enough staff

not enough crew seems to be an issue on other lines too. There were a few trains Euston to Brum cancelled due to lack of staff and one to Liverpool too
 
Travelled up and back Saturday from London, they fucked up the seating arrangements and caused a lot of hassle by not showing booked seats on the display, most showed available … Filthy trains too … Cunts

Iv finally managed to use the two free codes i got off avanti.
Iv used them to book for the palace away game in march,out 14th return 15th.i booked 2 tickets seperately and it worked, putting the free codes in one at a time.I'm sure i tried that before though and it didnt work but this time is has.
So, 2 tickets costing about £450 have cost me 2 x £2 for the postage

They were just 2 free codes i recieved last oct ,i had 1 year to use them,tried many times for various tickets but their website kept refusing the codes.Luckily for me they've finally worked.

believe it or not,i recieved them.initialy after sending them a message after i had bought other tickets and didnt recieve a confirmation email from them,id checked my online bank and the money had not gone out after several hours,i started to get a bit concerned and contacted them,the tickets arrived anyway and my money was taken out,but they apoligised for the delay and gave me those 2 free codes,i couldnt believe it at the time.

Aha, my train is Leighton Buzzard to MK to Manchester. There was an hour delay on final leg home for a game late ‘21. Went for delay repay and Avanti refunded the whole journey.

which was nice

Fucking twats wanted near enough £100 for the derby. Having to slog up by car instead, which to be honest ain’t a lot cheaper these days….

I don't look at Avanti any more. Drive to Doncaster LNER to King's Cross £20.30 with railcard return + £6 parking £5 shared petrol. Jobs a good'n.
