Flexipass
Here’s a question that confuses so many travelers...
Whats the difference between a Flexipass & Consecutive?
The main difference is a Flexipass provides a certain number of travel days within a longer
time period than a Consecutive. For example, 15 days of unlimited rail travel within 2
months. A traveler can pick and choose the days they would like to use the train.
A Consecutive Fare allows for unlimited consecutive-day rail travel within a given time
period, such as 15 days in a row. They must be consecutive travel days; follow?
So in a nutshell: Consecutive fare must be used every day in a row, whereas a Flexi Fare
may be used for the amount of days you choose within a 2 month period.
The Flexipass offers either 4, 8, or 15 days of travel within 2 months anywhere in England,
Scotland and Wales. You don’t need to travel consecutive days with this fare so it gives you
plenty of flexibility.
