What is railpass validation?
Validating your railpass is quite simple.
Once you arrive in Britain with your BritRail Pass, you are ready to go.
But before you go, you must have your railpass validated. This can be done at all major rail stations including the smaller ones as well any travel center.
On your first day of travel, simply present your railpass to the official behind the window. The official will then stamp your railpass which will indicate your first day of travel.
From here, you no longer need to go to a ticket window. The train conductors will know your first rail day by the stamp and tick off the boxes as you go along.
You can however travel on an unvalidated pass if an attendant is not present at the time of your travel. This usually occurs at smaller stations. Instructions on validation will be provided. Follow these instructions carefully.
It is important that you not tamper with your pass. If a conductor feels this has happened, you run the risk of having your railpass taken away.
It is also important to enter your dates correctly.
In North America we enter the date as Month/Day/Year
In Britain it is entered as Day/Month/Year
Happy BritRailing!
