Hi all. Just curious, checking LNER train fares from York to London on Friday, May 22 - I see a message that tickets are “Excluded and restricted dates not yet available for booking for 22, 23, 24, and 25 May 2026.”
Should this be a concern or will options become available at a later date. LNER states that tickets are currently available for travel up to and including Friday, 19 June 2026.
As always, thanks for your help.

Not really a concern. It's the start of the bank holiday weekend, when engineering work may be planned. That could affect late night services but not likely to affect daytime services. But LNER can't release until Network Rail have confirmed plans.Even if there is day time work alternatives will be put in place.
Should be released at the 12 week point or soon after.
What is probably happening is work at Leeds affecting Leeds to London services as the Transpennine services via Leeds are on modified timetables.
