Can you perfectly imitate the English accents of actors? Is Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas In Wales one of your favorite stories? Were you an unabashed fan of engineer Scotty, from the original Star Trek series?

United Kingdom, Here I Come!
If so, then the European train experience is the way to pull all your longings together. Traveling Europe by rail, specifically Britrail, offers a special way to bring the magic of the United Kingdom to life. And if you're a student, travel by train carries even more advantages.

The Britrail pass is your dream ticket. For far less than the price of airfare, you can travel for up to a month throughout the UK, riding the rails from London to Liverpool, Newcastle to Glasgow. If the luck of the Irish is in your blood, the Britrail and Ireland pass includes northern Ireland. So you can brush up on your brogue, too.

The Britrail and Ireland pass includes a round-trip sea voyage from Britain to Ireland. Enjoy the changing climate and the new friends you'll undoubtedly make on the journey. I don't recommend attempting to swim the English Channel, however. For one thing, your Britrail pass would get awfully wet.
