I'm heading to England in late September (first time) and am trying to sort out whether I'm better off buying a BritRail Pass or just purchasing individual tickets as I go. I have about 3 weeks total in England. I don't have a set itinerary (except for the first week), so I'm flexible about dates and places to visit. My plan is to take the train from London to one location, stay there a few days, and then catch the train again to somewhere else. Given that I won't be traveling on consecutive days, it doesn't seem to make sense to purchase a BritRail "consecutive" Pass. But I see that there's a 3, 4, 8 or 15 day "flexipass" option (good for two-months), although I'm confused about whether that means 3, 4, 8 or 15 "consecutive" days or just 3, 4, 8 or 15 days total within a two-month period (i.e. non-consecutive). Can someone who has traveled by train a lot in England explain this to me?
Thanks in advance.
