We've purchased rail passes each time we went to UK (from US)for many visits now. We're seniors finally, so they were even cheaper this time! We arrived in Glasgow by plane and started using the rail pass that day. Went to Gourock by train then took a Ferry to Dunoon. Next day went to Edinburgh returning to Greenock that night. Off to London for several days and on the way back, went to Chester, York and Newcastle. Close to Newcastle, we visited Alnwick to see friends. Then on to the Borders for a couple of days and next, off to Carlisle for the day. Then back to Edinburgh ending the day from on a train from Glasgow to Greenock. A couple of days later we were off to the beautiful granite city of Aberdeen. Then north to Inverness. We wanted to go to Kyle of Lochalsh on the Isle of Skye, but could not get a hotel online. So back to Greenock via Glasgow. We took several local trips while in Greenock going to Greenock West and Fort Matilda but mostly from Greenock to Gourock. Next time, we will concentrate more on Northern Scotland and southern England. We visited family and friends at our leisure, otherwise we would have gone to many more destinations. We went to Paris for two days (separate from rail passes) but would love to have gone back to Portsmouth and Penzance. The passes are so easy to use, they save us a ton of money and there are hundreds of choices on where to go. The trains are very comfortable - you can spread out a newspaper on the table and the snacks and drinks were very fresh. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Thanks!

London to Edinburgh
British rail was a pleasant experience. I have been on nicer trains....German trains are the best. The flexibility of use was a good choice. The British rail system is user friendly and the staff helpful. I met very nice Britons on board.

Great Experience
Bought a Britrail pass for 4 days in a month and traveled up to the northern most tip of Scotland, down to London and back to the Midlands with it. I was accompanied by my 14 year daughter and she loved it. The most amazing day was walking around the coast by Thurso and then catching the 16:00 to Inverness, then directly on to the Calendonia Sleeper and we woke up in London at 8:00 am the next day. It was amazing that we had traveled almost the entire length of the country and still had lots of energy to walk around and enjoy the capital. Have decided to only use Britrail passes when visiting the UK in future. Leave the car at home.

free day pass save our day
we bought a Britrail 15 day consecutive pass with a free day pass just enough for our 15 day trip to U.K. Our flight back to the Philippines was delayed for a day so our freeday pass save us from our evening trip back to Heathrow airport by Heathrow Express. We were also able to make a short trip to Windsor in the morning.All in all we had a great exprerience in U.K with a Britrail pass, covering more than 12 destinations, very scenic views from comfortable seats and on time trains departures and arrivals.

Best Deal We Found
We purchased the BritRail pass for our trip to 2015 Rugby World cup in the UK. It was awesome. We spent the extra for First Class passes and the trains were great the service was excellent. The Rugby Venues were all over the UK so we knew we would have to be on the move constantly and I didn't want to try driving on the "wrong side of the road" :-). ACPRail sent us the tickets and instructions for use to make the whole experience a delight. It was truly a Trip of a lifetime thanks to ACPrail. We are already looking at options for another trip in a couple years and I will be using ACPRail for ground transportation.

Worry Free
Excellent purchase. I wanted to be free to change itinerary according to weather. opportunities and whimsy. It was perfect. Everything perfectly at every step. It was simple and efficient and allowed me to discover all of Britain absolutly worry free. Instructions were clear and simple. Efficient. I would not hesitate to purchase a similar pass if I go back to Britain.

What a way to go!f
On a recent 3-week visit to England I made very good use of my Britrail Flexipass. From London Heathrow to London to Redhill to Amberly to Great Malvern to Hereford and Ludlow to Lichfield to Chippenham to Taunton to Oxford over the 3 week period I was able to visit several beautiful gardens, 3 abbeys, 4 cathedrals, 5 museums, 2 National Trust facilities, several lovely villages with thatched roofs and 2 scenic areas (Malvern Hills and the Quantocks) where I did some all-day hiking. Whenever I visit the United Kingdom I always travel by train, the most convenient and relazing way to go.

Great Value and Easy to Use
The All England 4 day Pass for myself which included free travel for my minor aged daughter was brilliant. We didn't have to book in advance, could travel anytime, and visited whichever towns our hearts desired. Given the regular price of English rail, this was by far the best value of our holiday.
