With the Flexi passes you can stay as long as you like

Before you buy a Flexi pass, consider what regions you will be visiting:

• The Britrail pass + Ireland provides unlimited travel in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
• The Britrail Flexi pass lets you travel anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.
• The Scottish Freedom pass allows travel by rail in Scotland only.
• The Britrail England Flexi pass is for travel in England only.
• The Britrail London Plus pass covers London and a large part of southern England.

With a Flexi pass, you save money by paying only for the days you travel. If you travel almost every day, a Consecutive pass is a more convenient choice, since you don’t have to keep track of your travel days.

Flexi pass details

Children travel for free until they are five years old.  One child age 5-15 travels free with each adult or senior pass holder with the free BritRail Family Pass. Additional children pay approximately half the full adult fare. The Britrail Family pass is free, just request it when you purchase your Britrail Pass.

Travelers between 16-26 qualify for Youth discounts. Seniors, 60 years of age or older, can enjoy discounted 1st class travel.

The Britrail Party Pass for parties of three to nine adults traveling together at all times. Passengers 3-9 get a 50% discount. The Britrail Party pass cannot be combined with other discounts. Each party must consist exclusively of adults.

As a holder of a Flexi pass that covers England, you get a discount on the Eurostar train. You also travel for free on most airport trains (a reduced fare will apply if you use the youth pass).

A first class pass is valid also in second class. Many local trains in England, Wales and Scotland are second class only. This is allowed for in the first class pass price. 

Restrictions

A Britrail Family Pass must be requested if you have children (5-15) that travel free with adult or senior pass holders.

On Monday-Friday, the Scottish Freedom pass is not valid for travel on trains departing before 09:15 am.

Travel on the London Underground (the metro/subway in London) is not included with any rail pass.

You must validate your rail pass before boarding the train for the first time, within six months after you’ve bought it. To validate your pass, present your passport and your rail pass to a railway official at the ticket window in the train station. Note: conductors on the trains cannot validate rail passes. You must validate your rail pass at a train station, before getting on the first train.

Do not write anything on your rail pass before it has been validated.

Britrail and Eurail

The largest rail network in Europe is called Eurail, and includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

The United Kingdom is not part of Eurail. If you wish to travel by train through both the UK and other parts of Europe, you should consider buying a separate Eurail pass. Learn more about Eurail at our sister site EurailForAll.com (opens in a new window).

The Republic of Ireland is part of the Eurail network and is included with several Eurail products. If you intend to travel only in Ireland, your best choice is the Eurail Ireland pass. If your trip will take you through Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France, buy a Eurail Selectpass for Ireland, Benelux and France.
