IsabellaSeptember 25, 2018 I bought the BritRail M-Pass, and overall, I had a really awesome time traveling through England with it, seeing so many great places! However, there was one big downside: the whole british rail system doesn't seem to be ready for e-tickets yet. When I first showed the M-pass at a train station, I was told that this isn't a real ticket and I should try to get a refund. Buying an expensive ticket to Victoria Station in London, I was told that I have to print it out to get it validated, since the british rail isn't as modern yet as airports for example. Whenever I did show my printed and stamped version of this M-Pass, eyebrows were raised, however, they did let me go through.
If you decide to get the M-pass, I would recommend printing out the pdf and going to a main train station where they know about the Britrail passes, so they can stamp your paper. |
jackeline.melanias@gmail.comSeptember 24, 2018 Using Britrail pass made my experience in England so much easier and cheaper, I could go anywhere without worry about tickets. I surely recommend it, and surely will buy it next time I go to England! |
Judy AndersonSeptember 23, 2018 Only one of my three, Brit Rail, First Class (FC) trips was what I'd expected. My first trip: I had a reserved seat. The "concierge" in the FC lounge in London directed me to the wrong train; the person checking my ticket sent me through, even though the train wasn't going to my destination; the very friendly servers knew where I was going and didn't bother to tell me that the train ended its run short of my destination. There was a last minute rush by me to get off and transfer to another platform! There was then a platform change and the other train was jammed: bank holiday--no food or drink service at all! It was still not the train I was supposed to be on, but, by some miracle, I got to my destination. Coming back--same holiday, the train was short two coaches: First Class was declassified and no one knew how Canadians could be compensated. My last, First Class trip, from a small city to London, was perfect--and what I'd expected of my other ones. Overall, the actual servers and workers were vey friendly and accommodating: it's not their fault that the system is so disorganized. Poor them! The British rail system seems quite chaotic: I learned to expect the worst. Take one's own food and drink because who knows? And get a reserved seat, FC because at least you'll likely have a seat and not have to stand for the whole trip. |
GeraldSeptember 10, 2018 We had 15-day M England Passes. They worked perfectly. Didn't use our smartphones but a simple printed version. Accepted everywhere, with some staff seeing such for the first time. We traveled mid-August, never booked and always had seats north to Hadrian's Wall and back down through Lake District, Chester and Cotswolds. We live in a remote part of the world so getting it by email was the icing on the cake. Many thanks.

GrahamSeptember 08, 2018 A 1st class train ticket to any station in the UKfor just €60? That is fantastic value for anything more than a 30 minute trip.
And... you get free food and drinks at some stations and in some trains. And the seats in 1st class are so much more comfortable than standing in 2nd class...
And pity the people who pay for the running of the UK train network--UK taxpayers and rail passengers--because they cannot buy these tickets: they can only be purchased by holders of non-UK passports!

exelby@online.noSeptember 07, 2018 Brit rail is really useful for getting around the place. I will no doubt use it again. It needs to be a bit clearer that the day it gets stamped at the rail office is counted as the first day of travel. So get yours stamped on the first day you use the ticket, not the day you arrive. It is also a pity that you have a flexi choice of either 4 days, or 8 days, and not 6. I used my 8-day pass 6 times, and this in practice meant that my journeys were more expensive. The mobile app is also a great idea - for those who have a smart-phone. The paper ticket needs to be fixed more securely to its folder. One staple is just not enough - use tape as well!

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.
