Lower priced train tickets are to be released earlier on Wales' rail network under new plans.
Transport for Wales (TfW) has made cheaper Advance tickets available up to eight weeks before travelling.
This extends the former six-week booking window by a fortnight.
The move is to give passengers more opportunities to secure some of the best-value tickets.

Alexia Course, chief commercial officer, said: "Advance purchase tickets are some of our best value and most popular fares, so we’ve extended the booking window to give customers more choice when travelling.
"We also have a number of payment options available, including being able to spread the cost over three payments without any additional charges."
Customers can avoid any booking fees when booking directly with TfW through its app, website, or at a train station booking office.
Advance tickets can be bought up until five minutes before the chosen train's departure.
