Saver Pass

[bsm330]

I am somewhat confused. Is the saver price the price for two to five people traveling together? Or is it used in combination with any other pass, and if I plan on living in the UK then traveling for a couple of weeks should i even bother with a global pass or something like that?

The price for the Saver Pass is per person. They are cheaper than a Global Pass b/c you are traveling with at least one other person.

The Saver Pass can only be used in 20 countries. The UK is not included in the Saver Pass. See her for the list of countries covered on the Saver Pass: http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/passes/eurail_saverpass.htm.

If you plan to exclusively travel in the UK, then I would just get a BritRail Pass. If you plan to travel in the UK and around the rest of Europe, I would get a BritRail and a Eurail Passes. Your choice of passes depends on how long you want to travel, where you want to travel, and how many times you plan to use the train (consecutive of flexible).

Do you think I would need to have 30 days on a britrail pass? I want to be able to live around London, so is there some way to get 60 days cheaper? I am looking for the best way to have transportation while living in a single location. How do the people living in London travel when they do not use cars? I will be there three months so i am in desperate need of the cheapest without getting a car.

If you plan to travel in and around London, then you will be using the Tube (London subway) and bus a lot. That means you will be uses a Travel card or an Oyster card. Check out this site for more info: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/. The Oyster card would be the better options if you plan to travel everyday.

The Britrail Pass is for traveling around Britain on trains. So, if you plan to travel a lot around Britain, this may be a good option. If you only plan on traveling outside London occasionally, then it maybe be better to purchase tickets instead of getting a BritRail Pass. There is also the option of youth discount cards.

Yes, sounds as if you dont need a britrail eurail pass, but a London travel oyster card, which is what the locals use on the tube/busses as jabroni mentioned. Check the London tube website for the prices.
