The BritRail Guest Pass
“Hey, Mate! Travel with Me through the UK and We’ll Save 25%!”
Find a friend who says no to that offer. You and a resident of the UK can travel throughout England, Scotland and Wales for half-the-price of a BritRail pass—25% off for you, and 25% off for your guest. The BritRail Guest Pass provides unlimited train travel on the rail networks, and is valid for as little as 4 days, or as many as one month, used on consecutive or non-consecutive days. So if you’re companion can only take off a few days to show you around, this is the perfect pass to do it.
What better way to see the UK than having a local as your guide? Get the ins and outs of a place, find treasures not found in a guidebook and learn about the tourist traps. And maybe your friend will discover a new part of Great Britain too.
Learn something together, bond over a beer, create a memory you’ll both share forever.
