Seeing Britain stressfree | Glen p. | 2016/09/24
"My wife and I travelled to Britain in September and once again purchased our Britrail passes before travelling to the UK. We travelled by train from London to Glasgow, several day trips to Edinburgh from Glasgow, and then to London via Edinburgh. The passes also allowed us to just "pop on a train"on a whim and head off for a day trip or new destination. These trips are so easy using the Britrail pass. The convenience of the pass gives great freedom to explore. All trains were comfortable and well presented. The passes are a must in our travel documents and well worth the money. "

Fantastic | Stephanie g. | 2013/10/29
"We had no problems using the britrail pass. And we found out how much each trip would have cost separately so we definitely saved money with our britrail. We didn't have to reserve a seat and pay extra even when we chose to reserve a seat. The only criticism I have is the form the pass comes in. A piece of paper is really easily damaged and not convenient to carry around as it is in a large envelope type thing. A card or a smaller, more durable ticket would be a better and more manageable item to carry around, especially for those travelling for a long time. "

FAQ

Common Questions, Simple Answers

Q. What if I have a group of 10 or more purchasing rail passes?

A. Please contact our Groups Department who can arrange customized travel solutions perfect for your travellers.
Q. Can I sit in First class if I have a Second class rail pass?

A. In general, you cannot travel in first class with a second class rail pass.

In certain cases it may be possible to purchase an upgrade for your trip, you can visit the ticket window at your departure train station prior to boarding your train.
Q. I received my e-ticket as a pdf but wasn’t able to print it. Can I print it at the station?

A. French print at home e-tickets can be re-issued from a self-service kiosk at the station. You will need the e-ticket # located on your booking confirmation email.

Eurostar print at home e-tickets can be re-issued at the Eurostar desk in the departure station, but there is a 15£ fee per ticket. You will need the e-ticket # located on your booking confirmation email.

No other print at home e-tickets can be re-issued at the station.
Q. I have a train ticket for a train that didn’t run or was delayed due to a strike. What now?

A. If your train doesn’t travel due to a delay or strike, please have your train ticket stamped “Not Used due to Strike” by a railway official at the origin station and return it to our Customer Relations department within 30-days from the train departure date.

For immediate help, a railway official should be able to provide you with details on alternate accommodations. Simply visit the ticket window.

Important: If a train is canceled by the railroads due to a strike, and alternate transportation has not been offered or if you decline the alternate transportation, then a railway official at the origin station must cancel your seat and they must stamp the back of your ticket/reservation “Not Used Due to strike” before the original train departure time.

Our partners at the European Railroads will not allow us to process a refund unless this step has been taken.
Q. Do the train stations offer services to help carry my luggage?

A. Many train stations in Europe have self-service luggage carts that you can use to transport your luggage through the train station. These carts are usually coin-operated and when you return your cart, you’ll get your coin back.

It’s always best to pack light and anticipate that you will need to carry your own luggage. Only a few stations in Europe offer porter services. Also keep in mind that while some stations offer elevators and/or escalators, you may need to carry your luggage up or down stairs to reach the correct train platform.
Q. Can I take any train that travels between the two cities for which I bought my train ticket, or do I have to take a specific train?

A. The answer depends on what type of ticket was issued for your journey. In most cases, we issue tickets that include a seat reservation whenever required or possible. If your tickets include a reservation, you will need to board the train for which the reservation was issued.

If you were issued a train ticket without a reservation, then yes - you can board any train traveling between the cities for which your ticket was issued. It is always advisable to inquire at the train station whether or not a reservation is needed for the train you intend to board. There are certain countries that we cannot issue reservations for: Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Romania, and other Balkan nations. Reservations may be required but will need to be purchased locally.
Q. I haven't departed for Europe yet and want to exchange or refund my train ticket. How do I proceed?

A. There are different ways you can exchange or refund a train ticket prior to your departure to Europe, but they depend in whether you booked a paper ticket or e-ticket.

For refunds:

If you booked a paper train ticket, the original ticket must be returned to us for the refund to be finalized. Please visit the Contact Us page for further information.

It’s strongly suggested that you send your documents by some type of traceable mail for proof of delivery.

If you booked an e-ticket from our website, you can usually complete the refund online via our Cancellation and Refund page. The refund will be processed immediately and no further action on your part will be required.

For exchanges:

Similar to the previous situation, the original paper train ticket must be returned to us for the exchange to be processed. Visit our Contact Us page to begin the exchange process for paper tickets, or the Cancellation and Refund page for e-tickets.

When exchanging tickets, you are responsible for paying the difference in fare, as well as any applicable fees for your new train tickets. Please keep in mind that exchanges on train tickets are only permitted for the same city pair or route originally booked.
Q. What constitutes a group?

A. Ten or more people traveling together constitutes a group.
Q. If my train crosses a border, will I need to show my passport to the conductor?

A. If you’re traveling between countries participating in the Schengen Agreement, you will not need to show your passport at the border crossings. If you are traveling between countries not part of the Schengen Agreement, you will have to show your passport at border crossings. Please note that not all countries of the EU participate in the Schengen Agreement (e.g. Great Britain, Ireland). On the other side, there are countries which are not part of the EU but which participate in the Schengen Agreement (e.g. Switzerland, Norway).
Q. What ways can a train ticket be issued? Paper? e tickets?

A. There are potentially three ways to receive European train tickets.

Paper tickets: the rail pass or train ticket is physically printed at the Rail Europe fulfillment center and shipped to you.

Print at home e-ticket: the train ticket may be issued as a PDF which may either be emailed to you directly, or retrieved via a web link that is communicated to you at the time of purchase, depending on the rail carrier. You must print the PDF from a computer printer on any regular paper prior to boarding the train. Some e-tickets are delivered with a unique e-ticket confirmation code that is printed on your Rail Europe confirmation email. You must provide this e-ticket confirmation code along with your id to the conductor on board the train.

Print at station e-ticket: you will receive an e-ticket confirmation code (also known as PNR or Passenger Name Record) on your confirmation email, as well as a link to detailed instructions for retrieving your ticket. Use this e-ticket code at a self-service kiosk located at the train station in Europe to print out your actual ticket, prior to boarding the train.

Print at home e-ticket and print at station e-ticket are “electronic” delivery methods requiring no physical shipment to you. This means we can issue you an e-ticket whether you’re still at home or already in Europe.

Please note that all three methods are not always offered for a given train ticket. In fact, many tickets only support one of these issuance methods.
