National Rail is Britain's national rail system. It has the most stops and stretches into Ireland and Scotland. A perk of traveling by National Rail is that it allows up to two pieces of luggage per person and pets are allowed to travel on the trains as long as they are contained or on a leash.
Virgin Trains is one of the cheapest ways to travel by rail in Britain. It also reaches all major cities in England. Although tickets are inexpensive, more expensive first class tickets are available at Birmingham International, Birmingham New Street, London Euston, Coventry, Runcorn, Manchester Piccadilly, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton stations.
The Underground is the London subway system. It has four zones and reaches not only Central London, but also the surrounding suburbs. It is the most efficient and convenient way to travel around London.
BritRail is a must-have for train travelers. BritRail passes are discount cards for seniors, families and anyone under 26 who regularly rides National Rail. With BritRail passes you can receive up to a third off your ticket price.
South West Trains reaches the southwest part of England. It is best for those visiting seaside resorts because it is the largest train company in England. It reaches the most cities many times a day. Hotel discounts are available with ticket purchase.
