repeat traveller
I love the train journeys in the UK. I have used a senior pass for the past 4 years. The trains are so frequent, are always on time, very comfortable and the personnel are so friendly. I especially like the food service on these journeys. I will return as often as I am able. Keep up the good work

Flexible, perfect fit for tourists
There is probably no better way to see Britain's picturesque countryside than traveling though trains. Britrail pass gave me the opportunity to do so with absolute flexibility. I didn't have to worry about availability or price of the ticket nor about missing the train. There is always a next train and I can get on that one. This is a perfect fit for tourists.

The only way to explore the UK
I visit the UK at least once a year to see family and friends and visit places I missed seeing when I lived there over 40 years ago. Trains take me city center to city center which makes it easy to connect with local transportation or be met by friends. The pass provides great flexibility about when I travel - which day, which train. My various hosts really appreciate this and it comes in very handy when, as happened last summer, I needed to delay a journey a couple of days due to my next host's illness. Connecting to local trains is much easier because if the main train is early or late I can decide at the station what connection will work best. The pass is good value. I get the Flex pass because I tend to stay a few days here and a few there. I sometimes book seats if I am traveling on a busy day but usually not. I cover a great part of the country visiting my scattered friends and with the pass I do not have to worry about going when the trains are cheaper or committing myself to a particular train days or weeks ahead to get the best price. Buying a pass is very efficient. The instructions are clear and the pass arrives with great speed. Britrail Flexipass - a must for UK travel.

Thoroughy enjoyable
We used Brit Rail to complete returns trips between London and Fife and also between Fife and Inverness. We had a wonderful time on each of our excursions. We enjoyed that fact that the train schedules are very convenient and the timetables are flexible enough that we could plan our trips to suit our own schedule. Being able to journey in comfoirt and watch the scenery instead of the motorways, made our travels fairly stress-free. The trains were clean, comfortable and almost always on time. We found the high speed trains to be a great way to cover long distances.

Best decision we made!
My husband and I were debating wether to hire a car to travel around the UK or o buy a flexi rail pass. We decided on the rail pass and it was the best decision we made. We chose a 3 day consecutive pass and managed to travel from London to Liverpool, Edinburgh, York and return to London. It is amazing to be able to book this and accommodation from NZ and arrive in the UK all set to go! We had previously looked at train times etc. however we found that if we were ready to move on earlier then there was always a train at the station and as we had the flexi pass we could just hop on. It was also so much more pleasant to be able to sit and enjoy a cup of tea (or Beer) on the train than to have to face traffic queues on the motorways, if we had chosen to hire a car. I would definitely purchase rail pass again.

Britrail 1st Class
This is from my trip in April & May, 2012.I really appreciated the network & convenient times. Travel was quite comfortable and the staff were very helpful & pleasant. Only quibble: breakfast offered was "hit and miss". London to Newcastle: full breakfast menu. Newcastle to Salisbury: only a bacon roll with beverages. Salisbury to Gatwick Airport: nothing except coffee, when I really needed a breakfast Thank you, Rod Leschasin

Would do it again
My daughter and I travelled from London to Bath, Exeter, Barnstaple and then to York, Harrowgate and finally to Edinburgh, Bathgate, and Glasgow. All of it was a good experience except the ride where we had to sit on the floor. We discovered that we should have made reservations for that particular train. We didn't make that mistake twice. The pass was very useful but it didn't offer us the exact setup that we needed. The pass was for a certain number of days within 2 months but we needed just one more day. The bump up to the next category made it too expensive compared to booking individual trains. A pass with a choice of number of days would be useful.
