That's a serious abuse of the expression "in advance". I generally know
"in advance" when I need to go to London (2hrs away), but sometimes it's
only the day before. If this Leathley character can guarantee I can buy
an AP fare the day before, for the train I need, then I'll play his
silly game.

I'm going to London one day next week, which I've known in advance for
about a month. What I *don't* know, however, is what time I'll be
available to come back.
