Update: Well I turned up at the station, and the SNCF staff there honestly couldn't have been more helpful under the circumstances. Initially, they suggested to straight away get on the sleeper to Tarbes (which should have left 20 minutes earlier) and then connect via Toulouse to Latour. The...

a) Is impossible I need to be in Wales tomorrow, and can't stay after Friday b) Is what I may have to do, but it doesn't seem like I should have to be significantly out of pocket to re-route myself because of a cancelled train

Wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with SNCF or knows how to push this further. I have a reservation for Intercite De Nuit 3971 from Paris to Latour De Carol, now SNCF have cancelled my train with just over 48 hours’ notice. Because of that they’re saying they have no obligation to...

Not enough.

As in UK this only affects online sales and can be bypassed using a TVM (presumably a ticket office too), passholders/Interrail can just board of course

If you limited advance fares to the trains which are actually quiet (evening and early morning) it could probably persuade quite a few to switch.

I think this is just an example of the wrong way

It happens often...

I'm pretty sure CrossCountry are giving out the exact same sandwiches, only the Pizza Twists are exclusive to First. To be fair I think every TOC does this, I guess they need to differentiate then somehow and probably so that it feels more generous to give out two small Cokes than one standard...

If there's staff around you can ask and should get drinks and a couple snacks. I wouldn't see it as guaranteed on such a sort hop, but you'll probably have a better chance on the return leg if you're quick.

Yep, that's the easiest way to do it. At a Avanti ticket office I think they can do it on a credit card sized ticket if you ask too

And that's why they stopped selling them a while ago, they don't want to.

Only "Advance" tickets are for a specific train (which don't exist on this route). For Super Off-Peak tickets to East Grinstead you can use any train subject to these restrictions https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ticket-types/validity/pb/

There aren't any Advance fares from East Grinstead to London, selecting any train online won't make any difference, you'll just be sold the same walk up tickets you'd get at the station (not for a specific train). There isn't any advantage to buying in advance so I'd just get it on the day...

I feel like the only way you can see it that way is if you willfully misinterpret things. GWR's position seems very clear, they've decided not to promote First Class on these services, but it is still provided for any First Class ticket holders that travel on them, or anyone who chooses to...

They still provide the local service for Taunton, Exeter St Davids, and Newton Abbot, it's only after Plymouth it becomes set down only. Used to run a daytime service to Exeter until around 2017 too.

No, as you don't need to book any train to hold a first class ticket. Any ticket office or TVM will more than happily provide a ticket to use that carriage.

The service in question is not intended to Standard Class only, it just hasn't been marked as conveying First Class in the electronic data (which is wrong so often lately something should probably be done).

The electronic timetable data isn't authoritative, the NRT was previously but this was removed from the NRCoT a long time ago. I think this did happen somewhere. It would be available exclusively for those holding long-distance tickets, Interrail, and ALRs I guess.
