Default Tickets on GNER, how to buy them?

I tried both of them, trying the FastTicket option, and both of them
are requiring a UK postcode.

I'm trying to buy tickets with return for London Kings Cross to Leeds
and back. I'm on GNERs website and it won't let me buy them because
it only accepts UK postcodes. How can I buy the tickets? I don't
want to wait because the advance ticket prices seem good now but i'm
guessing they'll be more expensive the day of travel, and I want to
make sure we get a seat.
Any suggestions on some other way to buy these tickets? I tried first
class, fasttrack, none of them work.


Some train companies require UK postcodes and some don't. I usually buy
British railway tickets on First ScotRail or ONE Railway websites and
neither of them require a UK postcode. You should be able to buy tickets
for GNER trains on other train companies websites as well.

First ScotRail:http://www.firstscotrail.trainsfares.co.uk
ONE Railway:http://www.onerailway.trainsfares.co.uk

These sites use the same booking system as TheTrainLine:http://www.thetrainline.com
(You can buy tickets directly on TheTrainLine website too, but IIRC they
charge a fee.)
