Avanti West Coast? Sure!Take in account that, if you want to take the Eurostar, you have to reserve, € 30,00. Also for most trains in France and Italy, and between those countries. Prices differ.
The answer I got from Eurail called it a "typographical error”:“I regret to inform you that the reference to a 6-week expiry date is a typographical error. The intended information is a 6-month validity period, as outlined in the terms of the Black Friday promotion. The final date for activation, as per the promotion conditions, is June 1, 2024. I sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. Your Black Friday Passes will only expire if they have not been activated on, or before 01 June 2024.“ (bold by me)
Sure you’re not the only one. I just received the same message, in English. For a moment I was afraid I did something wrong while booking (the sale), but my pass gave me the right last starting date 6 months from now, not weeks. I asked Interrail what happened. I suppose they will send a correction email.
Some experiences:Outside London (Bexhill, Canterbury, Liverpool stations): staff everywhere. Greater London stations (St Pancras, Euston): lots of staff.Smaller suburban stations however:West Hampstead: closed gates, no staff. Had to leave close behind another passenger, gate almost destroyed the laptop in my backpack. Staff in a hall nearby apologized. Somebody knows what to do in such cases?Mill Hill Broadway (my "home” station in northern London): on weekday mornings and Sundays gates are open. No staff. Weekday evenings: had to jump like an ape to get attention from the staff in the office. They had to come out, open some sort of computer cabinet and push a button in order to open the gate.
Thanks, rvdborgt. I wondered already why gates were open late evening. Two days from now I will have some British interrail experience. If everything goes smooth, or anything unusual or unexpected happens I will report it here.
