Yeah, this was also in the time when I'd know >12 weeks out that I was doing an Audax (e.g. BCM, K&SW, etc) and so I was able to snipe the really cheap advance tickets. Think I paid £12 for a London to Bristol train for BCM and about £20 for Waterloo -> Exeter. When I did a one-way recce of the LEL route in 2009 I got a 1st Class ticket back from Edinburgh for about £40.
