J.SatmariaAugust 10, 2018 The BritRail pass was a great value for us, as we used it to travel all over the country. It paid for itself pretty quickly and saved all the hassle of buying the right ticket for the right train at the right time. Definitely suggest making reservations once you are there for your key destinations-it's free when done from any ticket office. Watch riding on the weekends-trains are often cancelled, delayed or very crowded. Also, many
stops only have stairs...bad for hauling luggage or those with mobility issues.

NicoleAugust 09, 2018 Buying a Britrail England Consecutive Pass enabled me to attend planned meetings in the north and catch up with family in the south-west, and also stay with dear friends in London and in the South around Brighton. It was great value for money for what I needed. The ability to scan your phone over the turnstile ticket readers is not quite there at all stations I visited though. But the video is right - if the self-scan doesn't work, station staff will waive you through on presentation of your mobile ticket. All in all, a great experience!

Colin GarveyAugust 09, 2018 The flexi pass is a great way to travel the UK when and where you will. If you are a senior then 1st class is best because the rail system is very overcrowded in UK now and if possible reserve your seat.

DebraAugust 06, 2018 Try and arrange your travel to be on weekdays after rush hour or commuter times. Travel on a Friday is likely to be very busy.

CynthiaJuly 27, 2018 I was so grateful to have found this pass during my travels. It was not only a really great deal financially, it was also really easy to use. It made traveling really convenient because I never had to worry about which train I was going to take or what would happen if I missed my train. Highly recommended to everyone!

Don WilsonJuly 12, 2018 I was travelling with my wife. We used flexipasses because of the convenience, and that was good. However, I purchased first-class passes, and I was most disappointed: on only one of the many trains we used was there anything providing the comfort we expected, for the first class accommodation differed from the other coaches only in that a piece of cloth was fixed to the back of the seats proclaiming them to be first class. That was the only difference: the seats were exactly the same. Very disappointing, and not at all worth the considerable additional charge. On the one occasion when there was a real first class, it was very comfortable, with free snacks provided. But on all the other trains I felt not only disappointed, but cheated. Hence my low ratings for 'Value' and 'Comfort'. We are very sorry to hear that you did not fully enjoy your experience with the BritRail Pass. Depending on travel schedules and itinerary, the pass can offer some great value. With that said, we've taken note of your concerns with the BritRail Pass and we will provide the feedback to Eurail in hope it can help improve the product in the future. Thanks again for your review.

Michael McGowanJuly 08, 2018 We were fortunate to have someone familiar with Brit Rail to advise us to purchase our day tickets prior to arriving in England. First class is only where first class is offered. You could easily pay for first class and travel in standing room only general service if you do not know what service goes where! The premium for first class is great when there is a first class service, otherwise you are paying a premium for no service!

Jane BellJune 13, 2018 Very pleased with the rail pass (2nd time i have used one). I was lucky enough to get a free day added because of the Royal Wedding so was able to travel the length of England in First class for a very reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend. |
BillJune 09, 2018 The BritRailPass was the perfect thing for my wife and I while traveling in England in May. The Flexi pass allowed us to hop and on the trains, without lining up for tickets, without reservations, and we had no difficulties using the tickets anywhere.
Thanks. |
ElaineJune 05, 2018 We had an 8-day continuous pass and once we verified our passes with a starting date, these passes we simple, easy and seemless. At one point we even used it several times in one day. Train times were great and we never had an issue getting a seat. Wouldn't do it any other way. Highly recommended. |
