I think relevant inasmuch as one can be reasonably sure that one could buy a ticket for a train (at whatever price than may be) to get you there at pretty well exactly the time you want to get there
On a different matter, the new pricing seems to be taking a while to settle down. I saw several trains last week where the Advance 1st was cheaper than the Advance Standard. I travelled London - Manchester last Friday at 13.00 and the Advance 1st was £2 more than the Advance Standard - for which I got lounge access, some food and drink, a paper and a better seat ^
