Hello Everyone,
I have been reading the forum and learning so much from everyone - thank you.
Our family of 4 (two parents, mid 40's and two teenage boys 15 & 13) will be coming to Great Britain in August. We plan on using public transportation for the majority of our trip and that includes a few train rides. We are now looking for the best advice on ticket buying for the train rides.
While in London (5 nights in an airbnb) we want to take a self guided day trip to Bath by train
A few days later we leave London and will take the Train to Scarborough (we are spending 2 nights in Robin Hoods Bay)
We will then take a train from Scarborough to Edinburgh (4 nights there)
We are fairly certain we are going to rent a car for the return trip to London since we want to spend a few nights in North Umberland and a day at Cambridge before returning the car to Heathrow and spending our last night at a hotel near the airport.
Would we be better off buying advance point to point tickets or a flexible 3 day pass to use over a month?
If we do the point to point tickets would one of those 30 pound family discount cards be worthwhile?
What is the best website to buy tickets and passes from?
