Re: Advice on trip back to England
As far as money is concerned the cheapest way to do it is use your debit/atm card to get money from the hole in the wall.. been doin it for years and have saved a fortune over the greedy exchange services.. also chase tells me that the warranty service on my credit card applys abroad..... as for the warrentless comment about privatized rail network being better
I spent 12 yrs working for BR workshops repairing the damage caused by the great unwashed public. I have also travelled on the private system it AIN'T no better

Wasn't sure since you didn't mention how many were traveling. As long as there is a (five to fifteen year old) kid on board with you then you qualify. Up to four kids and four adults.

I'm actually leaning towards getting a 15 day british rail pass itself. http://www.britrail.com/passes.
I think it would be cool. Travel light with enough money for hotels etc and just see where you ended up.
The longest UK train trip I ever took was from Southampton to Aberdeen. It was direct. No changes. Took about 11 hours and was great.
