BritRail England Pass

A mere 26 years ago, when I was a young girl in college and heading to England for my first semester there, I started out my European experience with the help of Britrail. My friend and I traveled throughout England, Scotland, and Wales for ten glorious and memorable days. Last summer, I returned to the convenience of Britrail but this time with a husband and two children in tow. We had a spectacular time! The difference in modernization of trains was amazing, but luckily what didn't change was the courtesy, friendliness, and comfort that was offered. Thank you, Britrail, for helping to make our adventures the best they could be. We'll see you soon! :)

It´s great. A great value for a great journey

I purchased a 3 day Flexi Pass for England last March and had a great time using it on my trip that took me from London to Cornwall, Cornwall to Bath, and Bath to Alnmouth. It was a great way to travel and meet people from all walks of life in England as I traveled worry free! The schedules were very accomodating.

Last spring my sister and I went on a trip to England. BritRail was our primary form of transportation. It was great! Convenient, timely, and CLEAN! Not only was it a wonderful mode of transportation, but it was so lovely to travel through the country. I currently live in California, but I have also lived in Asia, and while their trains are fast and efficient, the charm of England's country side is lacking. I highly recommend to all of my friends to use BritRail.

My husband and I used our BritRail passes to travel between London and the Scottish Highlands. It was a new experience for us, as there is no public transit at all in our part of the US. It was also my husband's first time on a train at all! All of the train workers were polite and helpful, and it was a lovely way to see the countryside. The convenience cannot be overstated. I loved being able to just hop on the train and go! Even when there was a fire near the tracks and we were delayed, the workers stayed in good spirits and helped to make us as comfortable as we could be. We will certainly use BritRail again - I can't imagine travelling the UK without it!

I had a great experience with my parents last Sept. We use England Britrail pass (family) and it works really good. The trains are very nice, confortable and on time. The tickets were deliveryed without problems in my home, thats really good. It was the my second time in UK with the Britrail Pass, and I really recomend even considering the price that is expensive.

i have used britrail passes over a number of years and my overall experience is that they are an exellent and efficient way of experiencing what the uk has to offer .wether visitig major cities or small rural villages they are a great way of getting about. after moving to scandinavia many years ago i have often spent my holidays showing my children around the uk with a britrail pass life is much easier.with the additional bonus of airport transfers .ive travelled between london and the north of england and as a family of six we have spent many happy times in somerset, the lake district,the yorkshire dales historical york ,the coastal towns of bridlington and scarborough etc its all just a train or two away.with the added comfort of knowing you can virtually jump on any train its perfect,especially if like us you often find that time passes quickly when your having fun ,sure you can find the odd trains full , but then again you can always book seats....so if your looking for a great experience wether alone or with the family see britain by train and save yourself some money and stress and buy britpasses.worth the price indeed.

My sister and I greatly enjoyed our BritRail Pass experience! We've seen quite a bit of the country on our 8 day trip, and we've never encountered any difficulties with our choice of transport. Rail staff all were friendly and helpful, and my sister and I always found free seats, even during the week-end and on frequented lines where lots of people had booked seats. There's just one little thing: since you don't get a swipe card along with the Rail Pass, you can't actually enter most of the train stations, unless you find a friendly member of staff to let you in. No big deal, though, just remember to be at the station a little ahead of time...

I found it much easier to navigate the British Rail system once I had my BritRail Pass. Coming from a country with a very simple (if large) rail system, I find all of the conditions and idiosyncrasies of getting from Point A to Point B in Britain quite a challenge. Knowing that I could book what I wanted very simply on line or in person with my BritRail Pass made life much simpler for me.

The absolute No. 1 advantage of the BritRail pass is the ability to change plans on a whim, go back and forth or even around in circles if you like. The fact that we just hopped on and off whenever we chose made our lives very easy. We were on holiday and didn't have the stress of being stuck to one particular train. If we missed one, we took another. If we were very early, we took an earlier train. We also saved money, as we would have been buying many one way tickets (singles, as they call them in the UK) to see what we wanted. We found the staff friendly and helpful. One conductor in particular went above and beyond his duties. The trains were on time and clean. Above all, though, I must repeat how convenient it was not to have to wait in line to buy tickets but just walk to the platform.
