Given how much plans have changed over the last year I'm glad to be able to mostly afford to skip over the no-refund, fixed service tickets. But it would also be nice to be able to book a ticket at all, say, at the end of May. It's not so very far away. I want to do a train out / ride back holiday. Again, very fortunate for me to be able to consider this - and I'm aware that covid numbers could scupper it. But it falls apart if either of places to stay (that I'm comfortable with) or getting to the start aren't available. </grumble>
