VISITING BRITAIN-BASED FRIENDS AND RELATIVES?
BRITRAIL HAS A 25% DISCOUNT FOR YOU AND YOUR BRIT TRAVELING COMPANION!


NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 27, 2008 - The BritRail Guest Pass is a great opportunity for your Britain-based friend or relative to experience the flexibility and convenience of a BritRail Pass, which is normally not available to residents of Britain!  From March 1 2008, buy a qualifying adult First or Standard Class BritRail Pass for yourself and one for your Britain-based traveling companion before you leave your residence in North America and you both can be rewarded with a 25% discount.

This travel promotion offers a selection of options - something for every itinerary - including the "all-access" BritRail Consecutive Pass and BritRail FlexiPass or the BritRail England Consecutive Pass and BritRail England FlexiPass (for travel up to the borders of Wales & Scotland).

Buying BritRail Passes could not be easier.  Visit your travel agent or go to www.BritRail.com and choose the type of Pass which matches your travel plans.   For each qualifying BritRail Pass you purchase, you have the option of purchasing a BritRail Guest Pass.  But BritRail Passes are not sold in Britain so you must buy before you fly.

BritRail is your passport to 19,000 daily train departures covering 2500 popular destinations in England, Scotland and Wales.   Whether you want to visit historic cities, explore film locations or just watch Britain's verdant scenery slide past the window as you catch up on family news, the BritRail Guest Pass and BritRail Pass make it all possible. With this substantial discount, you can afford to savor the relaxing atmosphere of first class - less crowded, with wider seats and more legroom than standard class.

With the 25% discount, prices for the all-access 4 Day BritRail Consecutive Pass start at just $194US for Standard Class or  $296US for first class; the 4 Day BritRail FlexiPass is $247US (standard) or $367US (first).  If you are only traveling within England, the 4 Day BritRail England Consecutive Pass is $157US (standard) or $236US (first).  The 4 Day BritRail England FlexiPass costs $199US or $296US.

You must purchase both passes before your departure from your home in North America - not later than December 31, 2008.  Passes cannot be mailed to Britain.  Travel may be completed up to six months after the date of issue.  The BritRail Guest Pass is available only for a British resident, who must be accompanied on his/her train travels by the North American purchaser of the matching BritRail product. The 'Guest' must provide proof of UK residence upon request.  This special offer cannot be combined with the BritRail Senior, Youth, Off-Peak, Family, Party Pass or any other promotional offer.  BritRail products are not sold in Britain.  Visit www.BritRail.com for more information.
