we use http://rail-canterbury.co.uk Got us a whole bunch of tickets on different days in Jan to/from BSM.
Cheaper than I could do it on line too - their discount obviously higher than their margin.
Ask for Jacky: and if you do it before about pm, you'll have your tickets in your paws the next day.

Mad4snow, there are major engineering works in France. Many overnight/weekend services are cancelled. Hopefully someone like canterbury can help you find a route that works

The thing is I have spoken to lunea direct (a little dif as my French a little rusty), and they sent me all the timetables and route diversions during these engineering works. They told me the trains are running, but SNCF have not released them for sale.....annoying!

Mad4snow, how odd. We're out on the overnight Eurostar on 13/14th, but back on the couchettes on the Tues, Wed and Thurs ( work commitments dictating a variety of 'long weekend'ers for the gang). Booked a couple of weeks ago, as we do every year with R-C : have tickets at side of the screen right now: no intimation of delays.
(Of course both journeys have a deal of slack built in compared to the mid-morning trains to ensure you arrive at least at a half decent time - so maybe that can be covered going off the main routes).

I think January will be sold out by now. Tickets are still available for that train for February. The second weekend of March should become available in a couple of days. They normally come on sale 90 days ahead.
Why don't you try ringing them to find out - you can book by phone. (Let us know what they say)

You do realise that Rail Europe charge a very high commission for buying tickets from them, as Arno says you should use SNCF you will find the prices a lot cheaper, or you could try dbahn.com

For some reason, tickets are available up until the 19th and then no more......I want to go on the 25th and come back on the 30th......can't book anywhere.
