British Rail Pass Ticket Types Guide to Using British Rail Pass

Introduction to the types of British train passes. Each type of train pass is divided into: adult ticket, child ticket, youth ticket, senior ticket and companion ticket. These ticket types will have different fares depending on the scope of use, length of days, whether they are used continuously or at a flexible time, and class of cabin.

Take the uninhibited use of the England Train Pass as an example: Continuous tickets are cheaper than flexible tickets. The longer the number of days, the cheaper the average fare. If you can buy youth tickets (16 to 25 years old), senior tickets (over 60 years old), and companion tickets (more than 3 people buy at the same time), the fares will be much cheaper. First class will be more expensive than regular class.

Europe seems to encourage young people to leave, which is really enviable. If you can, go to Europe while you are young and you will get much more discounts than ordinary adults. They also have many discounts for children, group guests and the elderly. You can check to see if you meet the requirements. Advantages and Disadvantages of the British Train Pass: As long as you see the train you want to take within the time of purchase, you can take it. There is no upper limit on the number of rides (all-you-can-eat concept). There is no need to worry about getting on the wrong train or being tied to the train schedule. Changes You don’t have to worry about refunds or exchanges during the trip, so it’s very convenient. The more times you ride, the more economical it is.

Enjoy the buy-one-get-one-free discount (2 for 1) for more than 50 attractions and guided tours. Please see the BritRail official website for details of the discount (you need to apply for and print the initial redemption coupon on the BritRail official website and present it to the ticket window You can enjoy preferential prices with train passes and exchange coupons) Disadvantages: Sometimes it is not the cheapest and most economical solution (whether it is the most economical or not depends on your detailed itinerary, but some people buy this ticket but do not confirm the itinerary) , or I don’t want to be stuck with the itinerary, or I just don’t have time to compare prices one by one.) Is this kind of ticket suitable for me?

Buji thinks that as long as one of the following conditions is met, you can consider whether to buy it. This type of ticket: Travelers who like to change their itinerary and travel as they please. Those who find it too cumbersome to study the fares of various British train tickets and just want to use a simple ticket card to travel all over the UK. Those who have made a temporary decision to travel to the UK and the departure time is quite close (the closer the time is, the early bird fares on the official website of the National Railways may be sold out, leaving more expensive fares). Trains will be intensively used to move around towns and cities in the UK in a short period of time. Young people aged 16 to 25 (youth tickets are really discounted) People traveling with more than three people, seniors over 60 years old (there are also discounts on group tickets and senior tickets, which are also good!) After confirming the itinerary, Add up the train fares that will be used in the itinerary. If the total price is similar to the applicable train pass, that person recommends purchasing it, because if the fare is similar, you can buy the train pass directly and you can use one card to travel unlimitedly. Much more convenient. How to buy and save the most? Combine the days you take the train together and buy consecutive days. Buy regular class. (I feel more comfortable after flying in first class. Although I feel honored, the CP value is not that high XD) Those who meet the qualifications are best to buy youth tickets, companion tickets, and senior tickets, which will save a lot of money. You can purchase it through the British National Railways official website, but if you don’t understand English at all, you can also consult the British Train Pass through the Feida Travel website. They are the general agent of European Railways in Taiwan, and the price is the same as the British National Railways official website. If you order online, you can enter the Boogie reader discount code "bugi" when purchasing, or readers who indicate "travel with Boogie" by phone, email, or in store can enjoy a 6-euro invoicing fee waived. How to use the British train pass to ride and the actual riding experience

This time I used the English train pass for four consecutive days. After confirming the activation date with Feida Travel booking staff, provide passport information and complete the order. ! Super simple!

The tickets came out a week before leaving the country. I thought they were paper tickets, but the ticketing staff actually provided them as electronic tickets in PDF files. They said I was very lucky and was the first. A Taiwanese using electronic tickets XD.

The ticket format is as follows. It consists of two parts. Because it needs to adapt to the mobile phone screen, it is in a long strip shape.

The light blue QR CODE must be used at the entrance and exit of the train station, so your mobile phone must be charged when taking the train. If you are not sure, you can also print a copy of the PDF file and take it with you.

The ticket with a white background in the lower half details the ticket usage range, usage time, user information and ticket number, etc.

Currently, only the continuous-day tickets of the England Train Pass are available with electronic tickets (this article was written in January 2018). You only need to download the file to your mobile phone and scan it when entering and exiting the gate. It is super convenient. .

This kind of electronic ticket for the England Train Pass has just started to be used (uninhibited travel time is December 2017). I feel that some station staff do not understand it very well and will look twice when checking the ticket. In addition, when entering and exiting the train gate, some gates do not have QR CODE sensors. At this time, you can also ask the staff standing next to the gate to show them the electronic ticket. Overall thoughts on using it:

Electronic tickets are really convenient, and you don’t have to worry about accidentally losing the paper tickets.

As for the itinerary, because we can get on and off the train at will during the use time of the train pass, we really use it as we please. We can take the train when we want to go shopping. We don’t have to be in a hurry. You can return early if you want. If you want to take multiple trains in a short period of time, you don’t have to worry about the transportation costs. Anyway, you can use it within the period of use. It’s a pleasure to use it.
