I can confirm that there is no free or reduced rate travel for rail
staff (including those with Britrail Flexi-passes)


Since when were Britrail passes either "free" or "reduced rate"?

Do they accept an all-lines rover?

One has to wonder why they think expatriate ex- BR staff would need a
Britrail pass, an just how many of them are there? The simple fact is
they've muddled, badly, two completely seperate requests for info from
two posters on this thread. I shall have another go at them, but as
we're only allowed 3000 characters in our emails to them I shall have
to think about the wording when I have the mental energy. In any
event, they have, sadly, lived down to the stereotypically garbled
response I was afraid I might get.

It is a spectacular display of an ineptly garbled response isn't it!
I'm trying to think if there's anything else that can be chucked into
their festering pot of confusion, apart from rail staff, Britrail, and
ALRR validity - well, there's InterRail and Eurail pass holders as
well of course... anything else?
