There is no better way to see England, Scotland, and Wales than by train, and there is no better guide to the British train system than Britain by BritRail. For more than twenty years, travelers using a BritRail pass have made this book their rail-travel bible. This guide explains how you can use London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Cardiff as base cities for day excursions to outlying points of interest - including the Isle of Wight, Liverpool, and St. Andrews. Britain by BritRail is the only book on the market that features fully updated information on fares, schedules, and pass options; personally researched day excursions that take you throughout Great Britain; practical travel tips on keeping costs down, traveling light, conquering jet lag, exchanging currency, understanding British terminology; the latest information on the Chunnel and other Channel crossings.
