Checking the availability 

Before checking the availability it is best to know the booking horizon. A booking horizon is the 

number of days before departure you are able to check the availability and make bookings; this 

varies depending on the service being used. 

The following table shows these horizons: 

These booking horizons may be affected by engineering works or timetable schedule change from 

winter to summer/summer to winter.
