Hey guys
Need some advice, I might be coming into a few quid this year if I win a personal injury claim I am pursuing and if I win, I am planning to embark on a little holiday for a few weeks and intend to do some travelling on the Railways, some ideas I am interested in is a UK wide rail tour, going to visit people I know from Message Boards and Facebook and I was wondering if it is possible to buy an all network pass to for a week or 10 days so I can move up and down the country, or I am planning to goto Normandy and travel to Berlin taking in World War II visitor attractions or another option is to goto the United States and travel from New York to Texas visiting the US Civil War Visitor attractions.
So I need to know where to start looking for the relevant tickets to travel, on the UK network, so:-
1. How much could expect to pay for an all network pass, I would be going to Aberdeen first, what restrictions are on these tickets, can I use the Sleepers or would that come with a supplement, can tickets of this nature be used in Northern Ireland as well or not
2. European Rail Passes, is there actually such a thing that would let me go from Normandy right through to Berlin and possibly Eastern Europe, I am guessing France is mostly SNCF and TGV, The Low Countries and Germany being mostly Deutsche Bahn, Thalys and Nederlandes Spoorwegen
3. The States, again is there such a pass for countrywide travel, I am guessing that would be Amtrak for that...
I understand No.2 and No.3 are probably better in an Internional Section, I have posted it here to save on multiple posts across the forum, as it is closely related to my first question.
This is not concrete yet, as I have to win my Injury Claim.
But any advice will be warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated
