Am sure more tickets will go once people can book their train journeys down there... you can't book a train ticket more than twelve weeks ahead, and everyone wants to get the cheapest transport they can before committing to something like this.

(Sounds weird to an Australian, but with the trains tickets for the same journey can actually vary in price with the availabilities at the time you book - and get ridiculously expensive - rather than just stay at a standard cost for all fares based on the distance of the journey right up until the day of travel...)

My partner and I have got accommodation booked, next step is to land the cheapest train tickets we can get, and then the final step for us is the actual match tickets.
