I’m planning a solo trip to October to follow my favorite band Caravan. They are going all over the country (Glasgow to Canterbury and criss crossing in between). I have lodging being taken care of.

My question is regarding the rail system. There seem to be a lot of different rail companies with widely differing costs. I’ve sort of settled on ACP Rail just to get an idea of trains and cost.

So here are my questions:
1) Should I get a Brit Rail pass (will be $566 for second class) or just do point to point tickets. I will be using the trains A LOT. I will be taking 10 train trips—the longest from Glasgow to London. This will be over a 15 day period.

2) What site do you use to book your tickets?

3) Any other tips or tricks?

I am a very seasoned traveller and I travel light. I just haven’t been able to piece together the best way to figure out the transport situation. (I will be taking cabs once I’m in town to get to the hotels and gig sites).
