When will Easter weekend timetables be confirmed?

Hopefully a straightforward one this.

The Easter weekend is now within the 'usual' 12 week window for Advance tickets to go on sale.

Avanti has confirmed its timetable for Good Friday, and then the following Tuesday, but not for the weekend in between yet.

I know there's usually lots of engineering work over Easter, and therefore the timetable may be confirmed late, but does anyone have any insight into how much longer I might have to wait?

EDIT: Patience... they've gone live this afternoon!

I looked up Easter travel from Stockport to London for Easter.

I was prepared for likely engineering work in the Euston area. However, I then found out that Stockport is closed from Saturday 19th to Monday 21st April. Trains heading east or south of Stockport are rerouted accordingly.

I have therefore ruled out any rail option, even travelling via Sheffield like I did last Easter Monday, and am using National Express (from/to Manchester) instead.

Avanti has lifted all peak restrictions off of their flexible tickets for the easter weekend

We’re lifting Peak restrictions​


To keep you moving this Easter and help you save those pennies, we’re lifting our Peak restrictions. This means all Avanti West Coast trains from Thursday 17 April to Monday 21 April inclusive are Off-Peak. Buy an Off-Peak ticket for these dates and get all the flexibility you need – travel at any time.

Of those days, only Thursday 17th wouldn't normally be off peak all day anyway - Friday and Monday are public holidays, Saturday and Sunday are weekends.

Or do some Avanti tickets have holiday/weekend restrictions?
