What is Britain by Rail?

Britain by Rail was my idea in 2006.  I noticed that rail companies were only promoting their own services and paid even less attention to bus links, connecting ferries and other things that passengers want to know about!  So I thought it would be good to set up a website that provides people with everything they want to know about making a journey, and that's impartial. 

People sometimes ask is this website for rail enthusiasts.  I'm sure people with an interest in trains will like it, but no, primarily it is for those who are interested in getting about by train, or ferry.  Another question asked is if this is a business.  In a word, no.  It is not associated with any business or organisation, so everything you see promoted here is because I think its worth using.  I don't receive any payments from anyone, so the website is funded by me.  In fact you might be surprised to know that the rail industry shows a complete lack of interest in this website.  If I had set it up to earn approval from the rail companies I would be left very disappointed!  Ferry companies have been the complete opposite though.  I always get a reply when requesting information, and they couldn't be more helpful! 

I hope you enjoy the site, and feel free to get in touch with your comments.
