Excellent value for money especially when comparing to ordinary fares. The M Pass is great but the PDF is a little inconvenient as when you rotate your phone to scan at the gate it often rotates the pass. Please look at making it compatible with Apple Wallet (or Google Wallet). I will be returning in October and have decided next time to splurge on the first class pass. The rail service in the UK is fantastic.

The value in these tickets is flexibility. We always get the paper ticket as the gates have issues with reading the phones. I would highly recommend getting first class. First time we got standard and had several trips that were standing room only. Never had this issue again using first class (and they give you drinks and food on the long haul trips). You can just hop on and hop off any train you like and go where you like without having to plan other than knowing which trains have first class (not all do).

We have used them for many years when visiting Britain. 1. Unlike Europeans, North Americans, with good reason, don't think "train". Railways in Europe are widespread, quick, clean and frequent. Roads, especially in Britain, are often slow, clogged and exasperating. 2. BritRail is a great way to get out of London - in all directions. In fact, it allows you to stay outside the capital where accommodation costs are much lower - that alone can pay for a pass. 3.The choice of trains is colossal and offers lots of opportunities to see places that might otherwise take too long to get to. 4.Someone else is doing the driving - you're on vacation! 5. No lining up to buy / print tickets. Just walk straight to the platform. 6. A negative: the last couple of times the M-pass often was not recognized by the ticket scanners. Annoying. You may wind up showing it to the ticket collector instead. This issue needs to be addressed. 7. Lastly, if you plan to take long journeys, consider the first class option. If just pottering around London, many local trains have unremarkable first class accommodation or have none at all.

When I bought my pass (Paper) for planned-limited use I realized the pass cost was similar to the planned separate rail trips if I purchased them in advance. I could have got more value from the pass if I did more travel however I needed only 3 specific train rides. The pass did help in flexibility when one train segment was altered due to track maintenance and I had take 2 different legs around the maintenance spot so I simply had to show the pass instead of explaining why a specific ticket was valid on a different route due to maintenance. The trains I traveled on were crowded and though I paid for a non-first calss reserved seat, its side was at a blank wall instead of a window...I couldn't change seats even though I had the non-first class pass because all other seats were occupied. For my itinerary, the pass was about as good as having bought precise tickets, however I can understand how other non-UK based rail travelers would get a lot more value than I did.

Excellent product. Mixed experience on the different Trains. First class pass: London to York on LNER - Excellent service. York to Exeter on Cross Country - Food disappointing! Exeter to London on SE Railways - Food trolley non-existent!

Splurged on 1st class Britrail passes and wow was that worth it! Didn't really have to plan our trips ahead at all. Used the Trainline app to see which upcoming trains had 1st class on them, then just walked on. Plenty of roomy seats and lots of space for our luggage, even while on some trains the other cars were packed and standing room only. Got free tea, soft drinks, cookies and cake every time, and even free sandwiches on some trains. One train the tea was in china cups! So relaxing. Would 100% choose 1st class again in future.

To my surprise, the BritRail M-Pass arrived not as an electronic pass in standard format for storage in the Apple Wallet, but as a PDF that had to be downloaded from email and then stored somewhere on my phone. I ended up putting it in the Apple Books app. The PDF was a single very long, narrow page such that I had to manually zoom in on the pass every time I wanted to use it; otherwise the QR code would be too small to read. Even with the PDF zoomed in to enlarge the QR code, the pass failed to scan correctly at many railway gates and we had to be waved through by railway staff. That said, all the railway station staff and train conductors recognized the pass and we didn't have any difficulty getting it accepted for travel. It was great to be able to hop on any train at any time and not worry about peak vs off-peak fares or having to buy tickets weeks in advance for the best price. We roughly planned our itinerary in advance but the M-Pass allowed us to change plans freely as we went along. We didn't use the trains every day so the pass cost us approximately the same as if we had bought individual advance tickets, but it allowed us much more flexibility of plans and we didn't have to pay the steeper price for last-minute fares. Overall the BritRail program is GREAT for travelers; I just wish the pass would be formatted for compatibility with the Apple Wallet.

This is a brilliant Pass - takes all the hassle out of train travel and means no higher prices to travel during rush hour. I'd recommend this to anyone!
