My usual choices between the 17:40 or the 19:05 departures are both cancelled. I will probably choose the 14:30, which is not a productive use of my day.

For 13 April, only 6 of the 10 usual flights are operating.

Nope - the flights tommorow are just full.

Depending on how price sensitive you are... you could try booking a flex ticket for the later flight and try standing by for the earlier one?
