The British rail pass was a very good value. The employees of the railways were very friendly and helpful. However, the availability of luggage storage space was inadequate, unlike the trains in Europe included in Eurail passes.

The consecutive 15 day rail pass was absolutely the easiest and most convenient means of touring England & Scotland. The trains were on time (every trip except for one 20 min. delay), something I found extraordinary compared to service in United States and the scenery was beautiful. I would absolutely do the Rail Pass again.

I bought a flex 3 day pass. It's good for my journey flexibility so that I can change plan according to the weather. The 2 for 1 voucher is another great benefit that saved a lot of entrance fee to Tower of London and a couple places. However the pass is not worth for short journey. And the seat reservation is needed and free if do at the station.

We used out 3 day flex pass during Oct 2018. We have used Britrail several times and find it very useful. It is a wonderful to see the countryside. Since we are seniors, we 'treat ourselves' to the first class pass, which allows us to book our seats in advance, use the first class lounge in railway stations and enjoy the food and beverages on the train. I recommend using the Britrail pass for longer trips and purchasing a ticket, in advance if possible for shorter trips, or those that don't have a first class section.

Had a great experience on Victoria & Gatwick Express, as well as Virgin & Link ICE trains, and locals throughout Scotland. All were very clean, on time, comfortable, and fast. Service was great. Great Value too. We loved the experience, and could only hope that, one day, we might be able to have something similar in the states.

By far the least enjoyable experience of the many times I have used the rail pass in Britain. Trains very crowded - not enough room for luggage.(had to pile the suitcases on the table in one case) Made reservations on several trains, ended up not using any of them, mostly because the trains had different numbers of coaches, apologies for the system not working not really enough. I had thought that first class was at the "London End", not true in many cases, leading to confusion/frustration. Of course, the scenery is magnificent and by rail is still better than by car. Better luck next time??

We purchased the Brit Rail Pass along with the oyster Card. Perfect way to to England and Wales. Be aware that this is your only train ticket. You will be required to ask the attendant to open the gate for you as there is no chip to do this automatically. Reservations are recommended for the busier routes and times.

You offer an invaluable service. My wife and I went from Scotland to London and Reading, then to Bath and Cardiff, Wow! All because of you and your service. It was a little intimidating at first, but once the train personnel walked us through it all was well. We could not think of a better way to see the countries with any less stress. No stress made for a very delightful holiday. Thank You from Chris and Lisa!
