By train tickets now or keep waiting?

I am traveling from London to Stratford upon Avon on July 28. I have been waiting for advance tickets to go on sale. When I first looked at the price it was 84 pounds. Today I saw tickets for 12 pounds. Some were as low as 5.50 but I wanted to leave earlier than that time. Question : should I go ahead a buy now or is the price very likely to go down even more if I wait?

The sooner you purchase your tickets the cheaper they'll be. And how early do you want to leave? As I'm looking at a London Marylebone to Stratford-Upon-Avon on July 28 at 6:18am for £5.50; 8:14am for £12.00 and 10:10am for £5.50.

The rail system does not work like Am airlines. The cheapest tickets are offer up front, limited in quantity, and when sold they are gone for ever. Do not get cheaper as the day approaches.
