This review is from: Britain by BritRail 2007, 27th: Touring Britain by Train (Paperback)

This was brand-new when we traveled to the UK. It's well used, outlined paragraphs in pink and slightly dog-eared now. We referred to it on almost a daily basis for 45 days and about 20 days before we departed for The Isles. For the novice UK traveler, it's a travel "bible". Informative, blunt and very readable.
