From the Back Cover
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. This book 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.
Packed with all the information you'll need for hassle-free enjoyment of each city and town, this book has been the rail-traveler's bible for nearly twenty-five years.
Britain by Britrail is the only book on the market that features: fully updated information on fares, schedules, and pass options; a reader-friendly format that includes Web site addresses; personally researched day excursions that take you throughout the United Kingdom; practical travel tips on keeping costs down, traveling light, conquering jet lag, exchanging currency, and understanding British terminology; the latest information on the Chunnel and other Channel crossings.
