Transport in London

Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

The BritRailPass is so worth it. Easy to activate and use the QR codes for each day. You can take your time and be assured that you can board the train at the time that you prefer. There are routes though that are really popular and crowded. Train fares are quite expensive if you buy them on the day itself so the flexibility helped a lot. We traveled around UK with our large luggages. just make sure to board the coach with the luggage compartment.

It's a fast way to get to the airport. Plenty of seats available. Comfortable ride.

While it wasn't very useful within London itself, as the subway is the primary mode of transport, it was incredibly convenient when traveling to Oxford and Gloucester! Being able to ride the Heathrow Express is also a great perk!

I purchased a three-day train ticket this time. The three days don't have to be used consecutively, which makes the itinerary more flexible. You'll receive a QR code by registering your usage dates on the website via the email link. Simply scan the code at the station gate to enter. Please register at least 2 days in advance of your travel date. You'll get one QR code per day, so I registered for 3 different codes. On the first day, I traveled from the airport to Paddington, then to Bristol. On the second day, I visited Bath and Oxford. On the third day, I returned to London from Bristol. I recommend reserving a seat for the journey from Bristol to London, as the train tends to be crowded. The ticket includes one free seat reservation, which I found to be sufficient, as there were plenty of seats on the other train journeys.

The driver was on time and very friendly. He was willing to accommodate any changes we wanted to make to the itinerary! would definitely use them again.
