Britain offers Value for Your Money
With the economy on everyone’s mind, it’s a good time to outline why travelling to Britain in 2009 might be the best time to go. Many currencies have strengthened against the British Pound making Britain more economical in 2009. Look for airlines to be removing fuel surcharges and offering great incentives to get travelers to the UK.
We can’t deny that a BritRail rail pass also offers great value and freedom for your money. In addition to this you can take advantage of amazing discounts. One such discount is the BritRail Senior Discount, where seniors 60 years and over are eligible to save 15% off select BritRail passes in first class (BritRail Consecutive Pass, BritRail FlexiPass, BritRail England Consecutive Pass, BritRail England Flexipass).
Another great way to save money is to buy city, tour or attraction passes. For example the Great British Heritage Pass is essential. This pass offers excellent value and free entry to nearly 600 castles, palaces, gardens and other historic attractions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland including Stonehenge, Edinburgh Castle, Roman Baths, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Warwick Castle and Leeds Castle.
20% Off Season Discount on BritRail Passes
Please note that you can still take advantage of the 20% Off Season Discount for travel until February 28th, 2009. Travelers can purchase select BritRail passes (BritRail Consecutive Pass, BritRail FlexiPass, BritRail England Consecutive Pass, BritRail England Flexipass) and save!

Travelling with children
It’s no secret that kids love trains; choo choo trains that is! Travelling by train as a family is a great way to go. It promotes quality family time, is rather hassle free and the scenery is spectacular. For a family of three or four, getting a table and seats facing each other is perfect for eating, games, stories and extra legroom, of course.
Taking the train is made affordable with the BritRail Family Discount. Purchase any select adult or senior BritRail Pass and one accompanying child from the age of 5 to 15 receives a Pass of the same type and duration for free. For additional children, the price is 50% off the adult fare. Children under 5 travel free and do not need a ticket. The BritRail Family Discount is available in both 1st and Standard Class.
To complete the ultimate family train trip, set out with your favorite children’s book about trains such as Thomas the Tank Engine, The Little Engine That Could, the Hogwart Express from Harry Potter, or the Polar Express for a little on board entertainment! Select trains may also have family cars, children’s menus and activity books.
