Pay as you go Phones

I have a UK phone, from our trip to France, so I just need a Sim Card.

Amanda/Sean & Erica/Keith & Kris should consider a pay as you go phone, for when we get separated.

We buy 2 Family & Friends Rail Cards

Can visitors to Britain buy a Railcard online?

You can only buy online if you are able to give a UK-delivery address. We cannot send Railcards to non-UK addresses. Alternatively, you can buy a Railcard at a staffed rail station ticket office in England, Scotland, or Wales or a National Rail-licensed Travel Agent on arrival. You can also buy a Railcard at Gatwick Airport, Stansted Airport rail stations, Luton Airport Parkway and Manchester Airport – but NOT at London Heathrow Airport.
