I often do not have a specific date in mind and need an overview of what is available and when: the new website seems to make this impossible.
Welcome to the current world of IT timetable developers, where each of the frequent revisions offers less and less useful information.

It's not hard to write a program to develop a PDF of their timetable which knowledgeable travellers can download, but even where carriers used to have these, they seem to delight in throwing them away.

It's like a restaurant abandoning menus. Instead you have to go through steps of logging in to a screen, then say how hungry you are, when did you last eat, (Would you like a special voucher for 3 weeks on Tuesday - NO), how much money have you got in your wallet, (Would you like a special voucher for 3 weeks on Tuesday - Again NO), and then IT tells YOU what you are going to be given.

And whether you can sit at the same table as the rest of your family will be decided only when you come in through the door. Unless you pay extra now.
