Not Such A Great Deal
Just checked BritRail England Pass. I am going to the USA in September 2014. I plan to use the train twice, Huddersfield to York return and Huddersfield to London one way. I tried the 3 days within 2 months plan and it came to $470 USD for the two of us. I had already been on line previous to check on times and prices on
http://www.thetrainline.com/
It was way way cheaper.
Huddersfield to York return was 7.50 pounds each, about $12 USD each.
Huddersfield to London Kings Cross one way was a great price 23.60 each, about $35 USD each.
So the cost was/is about $95 USD total for the two of us versus $470 USD for the two of us.

Britrail Review
As a frequent buyer of BritRail passes (I've bought eight First Class passes in the past four years), I recommend traveling in England with this pass system.
Rail staff are very accommodating whenever one shows the pass. It is always instantly recognized. No need to line up for tickets. No need to worry about availability. No need to worry about time of travel or length of journey. All these considerations are covered. Especially noteworthy is the Heathrow Express train into London in 15 minutes ! Wonderful, tranquil, safe, easy to find, and always on time.
Car free travel is relaxing and very enjoyable with a BritRail pass.

Britrail England Pass
We have used Britrail England passes in the past. It's a convenient way to travel on UK trains, but it is wise to reserve seats beforehand as we had to stand for a couple of trips. Good value for UK train travel.

May travel
Although I appreciated the convenience & economy my pass gave to me, I found the service & attention lacking on your trains. I travelled from Newcastle to Taunton & although the service was better on this line, a porter was nowhere to be found. (I am 68, with a large suitcase) & had to rely on the kindness of fellow male travellers. There was also no hot water on the whole stretch meaning no tea or coffee. From Taunton to Strood, once again, no help with my case & the refreshment car never appeared once. As I had purchased a first class ticket, I was quite disappointed overall. I did get help on my trip from Strood to London as I took the time to search for an employee. To his credit, he wouldn't accept a gratuity. Over all, I wonder if first class really is worth the extra in this day and age!

This recent trip to the U.K. (my birthplace) was the third time I have used ACP. The service from start to finish was far above what I had expected on the first occasion and above reproach on the subsequent occasions.
The cost of the First Class ticket is competitive and the fact that it includes extras is, of course, a bonus. I have changed my route home to see my family now because taking the train from Heathrow to the North East is far far better than driving from Manchester.
Thank you ACP for another successful trip.

Best By Far
My husband and I have been using Britrail passes for many years. We especially love making the journey from London Paddington to Penzance, since Cornwall is one of our favorite places in the world.
Some of our friends ask why we don't rent a car and drive instead. I reply that I can't imagine why I would do that when taking a journey by train is the best option by far. We love drinking tea and eating shortbread cookies as we look at the scenery unfold. We love meeting interesting people and sharing stories about our visits. We've traveled the length and breadth of the U.K., and have never had a bad experience on a train. Everyone from the conductors to the porters has always been extremely nice, and helped us in any way they can. Our only regret is that we can only manage to do it once a year...so far. Thanks, Britrail, for providing such great service and beautiful journeys for so many people, for so many years.
