Novel UK ticket buying system I tried to book a single train ticket for Liverpool to London for 7 July yesterday (13 days in advance). In the morning the Virgin website quoted £12.50 fares available on all times. By the afternoon they didn't have a single ticket available for less than £57. One less trip to London.

Thought I'd check if anyone else had any cheaper tickets and I came across trainline which (thankfully) I've never used before. I couldn't believe their system. You have to guess a ticket price and then they tell you if there is a ticket available at that price (the answer for each of the first 13 options is no!).

This appears to be the main train ticket booking website for the UK...
