BritRail Flexipass

Different prices from retailers has been a thing for a long time with Britrail, no idea why. Both those are genuine retailers so whichever is cheaper.   The full Britrail pass has very similar validity to Interrail one country Britain pass, that is they are both valid on nearly all rail services, Heathrow Express being an exception that is valid with Britrail bit not Interrail.   The other main difference is ease of use, with Interrail you either have to fill out every journey on paper travel diary or enter each journey into the interrail app, activate and create passes for each day. With Britrail just download the PDF and show it on your phone or print it out (or both, use phone but keep printout as backup).   Reservations are not mandatory except for night sleeper trains. They are free from British station ticket offices or online by making an account on www.gwr.com , ACP Rail( and possibly other agencies selling passes) charge a large fee for reservations, this is a very bad deal,
