I'm planing to visit York from 15th to 18th May. However, there is no train get back to London and buses takes 5 hours at least.
If they will open to sale tickets for the date any time soon ? Or I should just need to adjust my schedule there ?
It's my first trip of UK , open to suggestions or tips.
Thanks in advance everyone.

If you go to www.TheTrainline.com you’ll see a few train tix on sale now. Several more trains say “Coming Soon,”
What website are you using? I'm finding plenty of trains on the National Rail site.
I used the following website
From LNE R website
Sorry! We're still finalising our timetable
Tickets for your chosen dates aren't available yet because we're still finalising our timetable. You can create a ticket alert and we'll send you an email when your dates are on sale.
Or you could look at Lumo.
You're too early - leave it a few more weeks until their timetable comes out.
Or you could look at Lumo.
No point to that, as Lumo do not call at York.
This is at the limit of 12 weeks advance booking. The delay in opening bookings is that the line is CLOSED between Peterborough and London Kings Cross- https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/engineering-works/kgx-pbo-20250517/
All trains will terminate at Peterborough with bus replacements to Bedford for East Midlands Railway (EMR) or Thameslink trains to London St Pancras. For an all rail route- Change at Doncaster for Northern trains to Sheffield for EMR to St Pancras. Or there are a few York to Sheffield direct trains Northern trains or an hourly Cross Country train to Sheffield for EMR south, at least on the Saturday.
The northern trains won't open up until 8 weeks before travel.
Or York to Manchester on TransPennine for Avanti to London Euston- but TPE also have amended service (still running, but on a diverted route).
EDIT- East Midlands Trains Advance Tickets for that weekend are open now from Sheffield. as are Cross Country York to Sheffield.
Book those as separate tickets (not a through ticket) and you can do the journey for under £50 (some trains as low as £35) before railcard discounts.
I meant Grand Central
