BritRail mobile flexi pass - any problems with QR readers at station gates

The BritRail website gives excellent instructions on how to download and save the QR code as a PDF. Just read through these and you should be fine (make sure and watch the short video at the bottom as well). I do not believe you can store it in Apple Wallet (although I could be wrong) but you can keep it pretty much anyplace on your phone.

Thank you so much for that information and link to use the M-Pass. Really appreciated.

One piece of advice I would suggest for using any tickets on phones in pdf is to turn off automatic orientation change on the phone as it is easy for it to flip in the process of showing it to a scanner. Dedicated apps & wallets usually override this, but pdf viewers are variable.

Thank you Marco. That’s a great suggestion.

If you have time once you've started using the pass could you post some basic instructions re: how actually select a specific date as one of your flex days and how the pass keeps track of how many days you've used. Thanks so much.

I have now activated my BritRail pass for my first of 8 day flexible journeys for May 2nd. You have to enter your passport number and name and date for each person, activated via the link that is mailed to you. That one day’s journey is for unlimited train travel for that one day. You apparently scan the bar code for each journey in and out of the fare gates at each station. When you decide the date of your second journey you repeat the procedure for that date and get a new bar code and the pass keeps track of how many days you have used it.

Perhaps someone can correct me if I’m wrong on this, as with previous BritRail passes I had a physical paper ticket which was inspected by a guard on the train.

Thanks for the update, a lot more helpful than the britrail "infomercial". Have a wonderful trip.
