[net.railroad] cheaper British Rail tickets.

kwmc@hou5d.UUCP (12/08/83)

I am hoping to be home in Britain in the early spring, and would like
to travel around by train a little. I have heard that rail tickets can
be bought here in America, more cheaply than in Britain. Does anyone
know how much cheaper they are, and where I can get them. I am not
a student.

You can call the British Tourist Office in New York City for info
on rail tickets. I did a similar thing for Swiss Rail Pass a few years
ago. Saved a bunch! You normally have to get it a few weeks in advance
and specify the exact days you plan on using it. It is definitely worth
looking into!

Make sure your tickets are for the trains which travel on the left side of
the tracks :-).
