@finarts4 It is most likely that the cheaper advance tickets have not yet been released as your travel date is over 8 weeks away. I would keep checking back for the advance tickets to be available. ^Kate
@jc0002367 Hi there. Any changes to services will be updated on our website as soon as they are available. Click here for live updates https://t.co/NovT7tHZwS. ^Kate
@sj2301__ Hi there. The cost of the the 'Anytime' tickets reflect the flexibility of the trains you can travel on.
Have you looked at traveling on an 'Advance' type ticket where you have to travel on specific services, but the cost is lower. ^Kate
@JoshB_HCAFC You've selected an anytime first class ticket which is the most expensive but most flexible ticket so you can get any train. Advanced singles are cheaper but have more restrictions. ^Mariel
@RewritableD Hi there, I'm sorry for the disruption to your journey this morning. This service is delayed today due to the emergency services dealing with an incident near the railway. ^Chloe
@StirlinGreen Hi there, if you are travelling to/from Chester-le-Street, please speak to station staff or use the help points for onward travel advice. ^Chloe
All lines are blocked at Newcastle at the moment whilst the emergency services deal with an incident. You can use your ticket with CrossCountry, LNER or Northern from Newcastle towards Leeds/York, where you can change for the next services to Manchester.
