We would ship your order by FEDEX which typically takes a few days to receive.
Unfortunately we can only issue the actual physical ticket which we would have to send to you prior to your departure for the UK.

To choose your pass, BritRail’s Trip Planner is a great tool http://www.britrail.com/plan-a-trip. The BritRail England Pass includes travel from London to Blackpool.
Unfortunately we can only issue the actual physical pass that we would need to send to you prior to your departure for the UK. Shipping time and charges ultimately depends on the shipping option you select on our website during the check-out process.
Please email info@acprail.com if you have any further questions.

How much is the shipping fee to Australia and how long does it take to receive them of we buy on this website?
angela on May 26th, 2010
From our distribution center in Australia, regular shipping is 10 AUD and it takes up to 7 business days. Priority shipping is 25 AUD and it takes up to 5 business days.

Trying to order BritRail pass to Russia, I am offered two shipping options: free Normal (up to 5 days) and EUR15 Priority (2 days). Knowing the average time of mail delivery from US to Russia it seems too quick to be anywhere near reality. Or do you send them from Russia proper? Or does “priority” means Fedex?
angela on June 16th, 2010
We have a distribution facility in London. If you require it soon I suggest you select the priority option as it is a traceable courier service, similar to FedEx.
Federico on July 9th, 2010
Is it possible to buy BritRail Pass in England or it is only available on this website?
angela on July 9th, 2010
Hi Federico,
BritRail Passes are only available to international travelers so it is not possible to buy your pass in England.

Planning to visit England next month. Arriving Gatwick. Staying in London near Paddington station. Plan to go to Canterbury and Dover. What is best rail option? Can we order online and get pass at Gatwick upon arrival?
angela on July 27th, 2010
Hello,
Your best rail option is the BritRail London Plus Pass.
Please note we would have to send your pass prior to your departure for the UK.

Arriving in Manchester Airport and after spending the next few days in North Wales, my co-traveler and I plan to go to Ireland, starting with Dublin. Beyond Dublin, is the Brit Rail pass much use? Also, how does the rail pass coordinate with the ferry system, if at all?
verdims on September 6th, 2010
Hello.
I am planning to buy London Plus Pass. I believe it is included 2 airport express tickets? Can I use it on 2 different days ie. from LHR-paddington and paddington-LHR
How do you ship it to Jakarta, Indonesia?
EricMF on October 8th, 2010
For purchasing point to point round-trip tickets, do need to send physical tickets to me?
I am departing the US on 10/13, so would like to know whether it is feasible to purchase tickets in advance.
Fred on October 8th, 2010
Hi Jill,
The Britrail + Ireland pass is valid for rail travel in the UK and throughout Ireland. Unfortunately the Britrail pass is not valid on the ferries, however you can purchase a BritRail Irish Sea Crossing (http://www.acprail.com/transport/united-kingdom/ferries) separately.
Fred on October 8th, 2010
@ Verdims
The London Plus pass includes 2 vouchers that can be used on the Heathrow Express.
The 2 vouchers can be used on different days and for different directions but must be used within the validity period of your pass.
The pass is sent to you by International Priority or by Post from our London office.

RickP on January 15th, 2011
Plan to buy Britrail pass for this June. We will pass through London and have to transfer from King’s Cross to Waterloo. Is the pass good to use on the London Underground?
Fred on January 17th, 2011
A BritRail Pass is not valid for travel on the London Underground.
Jennifer on February 22nd, 2011
I plan to travel from London to Kendal via Salisbury and Bath Spa from 9-11 March. After a 3 day visit with relatives, I then plan to return south visiting friends and relatives in Newcastle, York, Berkhamstead, London and Brighton over a period of 6 days (15-20 March). I will be traveling with two children (ages 14 and 12). Is it most economical to purchase two separate BritRail Consecutive Day Passes to cover the different segments of our trip? How will the passes be sent to me; how long will it take to arrive; and are there additional charges to send the passes. I live near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in Wolfville.
Fred on February 23rd, 2011
Hi Jennifer,
Your option would be to purchase a FlexiPass as you would probably not be traveling every day.
For example you can purchase 2 adult BritRail England flexiPass for 8 days, within a 2 month period.This will allow you 8 days of unlimited rail travel throughout England.For each adult pass purchased, you would be entitled to a similar child pass for free.
Your order is shipped by FEDEX which usually takes a few days to receive.
Please contact our Call Center at the Toll Free number below and they will help you with your booking.Toll Free: 1-866-938-7245.
Karen on March 1st, 2011
I’m looking to purchase the BritRail pass but require clarification. This shows inclusion of an Airport Express ticket. Please confirm this is “one way” only and I need to purchase the return express tickets separately. Can/do I use the Oyster Pass as we exit the Victoria Station train? Lastly, will the tickets arrive with maps and train schedules?
Fred on March 2nd, 2011
Please note the BritRail Pass (Flexi and Consecutive) is valid for the Airport Express trains and no separate ticket is necessary.
Please also note the Airport Express trains will take one day from your BritRail pass regardless if that is the only trip you make in a day (you otherwise have unlimited use for each day).
Your option would be to purchase a separate Airport Express ticket and save the day from your BritRail pass for a longer travel day.
You can start using your Oyster for the London Public Transportation system when you arrive at Victoria station.
Frederick on March 2nd, 2011
Sorry, you haven’t answered my above question. How long does it take to ship a pass to California USA? I don’t dare plan a trip and order one without knowing if it will arrive in time. Thank you most kindly. I have postponed possible travel over this. Can you please respond? Thanks! Fred
Fred on March 4th, 2011
Dear Fred,
We would ship your order by FEDEX which would usually take a few days to receive.

You advertise FREE shipping but when I go to check out you charge for shipping.

HECTOR on March 11th, 2011
We are a group of 4 traveling from Mexico, 2 Senior ,2 adult.
If we buy the London flexible pass 3 day, we are able to travel during 3 not fixed dates right??
How could we collect our passess, I believe you do not ship to Mexico or do you ??
Fred on March 11th, 2011
Hi Hector,
Yes, you can travel 3 days on a 2 month period. These 3 days can be consecutive or not.
We do ship tickets to Mexico, we have many fulfillment centers all around the world, so you will receive your vouchers by mail. Then, you will have to exchange them in a train station in the UK.
Greg on March 12th, 2011
I am departing for the UK on March 31 but will not be able to use the rail pass until April 10 when I break away from my group. For departure date do I list March 31 or April 10?Does “departure” mean when I leave for the UK? I understand that you may “activate” the pass within six months of receiving it, correct?
Cheryl on March 13th, 2011

Kevin on April 2nd, 2011
I have been trying to book 2 first class seat reservations (I have Flexi passes) from Plymouth to Bath Spa on May 17 as well as 2 first class reservations on May 20 from Bath Spa to London, but I keep getting an error report indication that there are no results on the search. I know trains run to and from all of these places – what am I doing wrong?
Amar Surana on April 7th, 2011
I am from India. Please can you confirm If I purchase a Brit Rail Pass from internet then in how many days I receive the same.
Ron on May 10th, 2011
Purchasing a BritRail Flex pass for five of us for 8 days. Each day we use the pass do we all have to travel on the same train at the same time? And. Each day we get on the train can we travel about as much as we like, getting off and on as often as we please during that day only using the one day of the ticket?
Fred on May 10th, 2011
With a BritRail Party Pass you will receive one BritRail pass to be used by the group so yes you must travel together.
Yes with a BritRail Pass you can use the train, getting on and off as often as you like, throughout a travel day.

Panic on June 6th, 2011
Hi,
We are a family of Four(2 adults & two kids 16+14 years old) planning to visit London on the 10th of July 2011. Which pass should we buy in order to travel from London Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 to Russell Square station. Also note that we will be in London until 12th of July, so we need a pass for three days.
Thanks,
Panic
Fred on June 6th, 2011
Hi
It depends where you plan on traveling to from London. A BritRail Pass is good to visit neighboring cities (see BritRail’s London Plus Pass), but is not necessary for travel if you are just staying within London (see Oyster Card or London Visitor travel card).
Jenny on June 13th, 2011
I am senior age & would be travelling on my own. Perhaps I started filling out the application form wrong, but can you buy senior flexipasses without also buying an adult flexipass? When I typed in 0 adult & 1 senior, up popped “passenger 1″. I think I’m confused about this. Did passenger 1 mean someone travelling with me, or is passenger 1 me?
Also, with a flexipass, do we just show up at station, or do we have to reserve ahead?
Fred on June 14th, 2011
Hi Jenny,
You are passenger 1.
This is where you will specify your age, to qualify you for the correct passes and any applicable senior discounts.
When traveling with a BritRail Pass, seat reservations are not required, they are optional. However, it is recommended to make
seat reservations if you want to be assured a seat on a specific train.
Other cases where seat reservations are advisable include: peak time on long haul trains just before Christmas, around Easter, and Summer Saturdays to the West Country, Friday afternoons out of London in Standard Class, early mornings on weekdays in First Class, and groups taking long journeys.
Eli on June 14th, 2011
I am interested in buying the Britrail London Plus Pass valid for 4 days which costs 199 dollars but I would like to know if taxes and delivery are included. Also if it is possible to buy it here and collect it on arrival at Heathrow Airport. I’m in Buenos Aires, departing for London next month.
Thank U!
Kathleen on June 15th, 2011
Hi: I am leaving for the UK on the 29th of July (2 weeks from today) and just bought a BritRail pass last night. I chose priority mail so that it would be sure to arrive on time, but I realized this morning that the Canadian postal strike might affect even priority courier. Do you use the public postal service for priority mail? Or do you use a service like FedEx.
And if you use the public service, is there any way of picking up the passes in person during the strike? I’m in Toronto.
Thanks!
Fred on June 15th, 2011
Hi Kathleen,
For shipping in Canada we use FedEx. Your BritRail Pass will be shipped from our distribution center in Montreal so it will only take a few days. Happy travels!
Fred on June 15th, 2011
Hi Eli,
This price doesn’t include shipping. As shipping options and rates are relative to your country please proceed to checkout to view the shipping rate to Argentina. As BritRail Passes are only available to international travelers you must purchase and receive your pass before arriving in the UK.
PJF on June 22nd, 2011
I will be purchasing an 8 day consecutive party pass. One person in our party will be arriving at Heathrow after the other three. Will we be able to use our Heathrow Express TIX as a group of 3, and then the single, or must the Heathrow Express also be used as a “party” pass with all 4 of us traveling together?
Fred on June 23rd, 2011
You will receive one BritRail pass to accommodate your ‘party’. It is this one BritRail pass that allows travel on the Heathrow Express, so it must also be used by those traveling together.
beth on July 18th, 2011
If I purchase a britrail pass online, can I pick it up at heathrow when I arrive in country?
Fred on July 18th, 2011
Hi Beth,
BritRail Passes are for sale to international travelers and therefore must be purchased and shipped to you before you arrive in the UK.
Peter on August 1st, 2011
I want to visit Cardiff, London, York, Edinburgh and Glasgow in 4 days or so. What pass would be best to buy? I live in Ireland and I’m also wondering if any passes give me any entitlement on ferries or something similar?
Thanks
Fred on August 2nd, 2011
HI Peter,
A BritRail Pass would be best as it includes travel in England, Scotland and Wales. http://www.britrail.com/passes/britrail-pass
If you would like a pass for 4 days, you can choose between a Consecutive Pass or a Flexi Pass.
As you mention you live in Ireland, please note that you are eligible to buy a BritRail Pass if you are not a UK resident.
Please note that the BritRail Pass doesn’t include travel on ferries, this can be purchased separately, http://www.britrail.com/extras/extras-ferries.
CharliB on November 1st, 2011
Hi, just wondered if you can get the BritRail pass delivered to the UK? I am not a UK resident but am already in the UK and know that the BritRail passes offer the best deals. Thank you!
