Hello All,
My Wife and I are flying to England in early April and we just got our BritRail passes for our teain travel throughout the UK. We plan on going from London to Leeds/York, from leeds to Edinburgh, Scotland, from Edinburgh to Cardiff, Wales and from Cardiff back to London.
By looking at the train schedules, I have figured out a way to travel on 6 different rail operators lines. It will give us a chance to sample their wares so to speak. The passes only cost us a little over $600.00 and trying to purchase point-to-point tickets would have cost us over $1500.00, so the passes were cheaper.
We're looking forward to 12 days of travel through the UK and it will be interesting to compare the UK's rail service with Amtrak. All aboard indeed! :lol:
