Railing in Britain

[KauaiGirl]

Hey everyone!

Finally makin' that trip back to Scotland next month, along with some time in England. I want to get back and forth between Scotland and England by rail; is there a cheap way to do this, a certain kind of pass? And which train company would it be on? I'm a bit confused and intimidated by all the different rail sites on the web for Britain. I have heard good things about the Britrail Flexipass, (4 days out of 2 months would be fine). Can anyone please help me out? Its getting closer to the time and I have to be in Edinburgh (starting out in England) on the 19th as I have hostel reservations there and am going on my tour the next day. Getting a bit antsy as to what to do. Thanks!

there's sure to be a bus company that'd be cheaper. GoByCoach, maybe?

It's too late to buy a cheap train ticket. It might be too late to get a Britrail pass as well, because these must be bought outside Britain. Bus would be your cheapest option by default, then.

You can get railpasses online that can be delivered the next business day.

You pay $10 Fed-Ex for a 2 business day service or $12 for an overnight business day service.

(I know we've already discussed this KauaiGirl-this is just for everyone else's info)

Just a second... is it 19th in June or July you're talking about?
I thought it's June...
