LONDON AIRPORT TRANSFERS PLUS EXPANDED RAIL BOUNDARIES
EQUAL THE NEW BRITRAIL LONDON PLUS PASS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK FEBRUARY 1, 2008 ACP Rail International, the exclusive marketing and distribution agency for BritRail, has enhanced a bargain, essentially creating a new product for Britain-bound travelers.  The BritRail London Plus Pass has always been good value for visitors touring southeast England by train.  The new and improved product is an even greater deal with the addition of Airport Express train transfer vouchers and the inclusion of extended rail destinations like Bath, Bristol and Stratford upon Avon.

A 2-day BritRail London Plus Pass (including 2 Airport Express vouchers) is just $145US in standard class.  A round trip Heathrow Express ticket bought separately costs $64US; so, for just $81US more, BritRail's London Plus gives you 2 days of unlimited rail travel all over southeast England and beyond.

BritRail's London Plus is ideal for London-based travelers who want to take day trips into the countryside, but return to their London hotel in the evening.  It is totally flexible for short or long stays, allowing you to use your rail travel days non-consecutively, if you wish.  Popular and varied destinations like the university towns of Oxford and Cambridge, the Royal seaside resort of Brighton and the cathedral city of Salisbury have always been accessible with the Pass.  Now, with the extension of the product's geographic boundaries, Jane Austen's Bath - as elegant as it ever was during its Georgian heyday - and Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon - one of Britain's most iconic tourist destinations - have been added to the mix.  Check out the interactive map on www.BritRail.com to see the big picture.

London's international airports have rail stations conveniently located within their terminal complexes.  Non-stopping Airport Express trains to (and from) London leave frequently - every 15 to 20 minutes.  With the new BritRail London Plus, it doesn't matter whether you are using Heathrow or Gatwick or Stansted Airport or a combination of airports, your vouchers will speed you to (and from) London with no hassle and much more quickly than those buses that stop at every hotel en route.  Heathrow is just a quick 15 minutes from London's Paddington Station, Gatwick is 30 minutes away from London Victoria and Stansted is just 40 minutes from London's Liverpool Street Station.

Convenience and flexibility can be yours for as little as $145US - use any 2 days of standard class rail travel out of 8; $235 buys you 4 rail travel days.  For longer stays, 7 out of 15 days is ideal - at just $279.  First class rail is available for $219US, $305US, $385US; Children pay 50% of the adult prices.  Remember, the prices include 2, separate Airport Express train vouchers.  Log on to www.BritRail.com to get the full story.
