LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 8, 2008 -- Train travel in Britain is comfortable, efficient and a great way to kick back and relax. "Let the train take the strain" may be an old advertising slogan, but in these days of high-priced fuel and clogged roads, it has never been more appropriate. Paying one low price in local currency before leaving home buys a personal passport to the best of Britain. And BritRail has launched a special low season promotion to encourage travelers across the globe to explore Britain's bounty. When you purchase any of BritRail's locally-available Consecutive Day Passes or a FlexiPasses for travel between November 1, 2008 and February 28, 2009, you will receive a 20% discount on the Pass' retail price current at the time of purchase. Just purchase the BritRail Pass prior to departure from your home and anytime before February 15, 2009; these products are not available in the UK.

With high-speed, frequent service, even an extended weekend or quick weeklong jaunt allows enough time to savor the flavor of modern London and appreciate the ancient heritage that makes Britain special. And the 'Low Season' is simply one of the best times to travel to Britain. The weather is mild and crowds have thinned. Enjoy all this and double-digit dollar savings, too. Besides patting yourself on the back for being a savvy traveler, you can also congratulate yourself for being environmentally friendly: trains emit approximately 50% less harmful Green House gases per passenger kilometer than cars and 75% less compared to a plane traveling the same distance.

BritRail gets you around and about with little effort and in comfort. The Pass provides total access no matter what the route or who the train operator may be. With 18,000 daily train departures traveling to over 2500 destinations throughout England, Scotland and Wales, you can hop on and off as many trains in a single day as you like.
