All Aboard…Guide to UK Train Travel Ebook by Doug and Tracy Collins

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“This e-book is exactly what we needed to begin planning our trip to the UK.  The last time we were in the UK we stayed in London sightseeing and then joined a tour group to travel through Southern England.  That was fantastic, but we couldn’t stay as long as we would like at many of the locations. 

This time we wanted to tackle it ourselves but didn’t feel up to the task of driving the UK, so thought we’d do it by Train.  Great idea, but we didn’t know where to start.  I was thrilled to discover Doug and Tracy’s Facebook page and was even more thrilled when I discovered they were putting out a book on this topic – Guide to UK Train Travel. 

I picked up a copy as soon as it dropped and I’m so glad I did.  It gives all the information of how train travel through the UK works, the stations, and where they take you.  It has lots of awesome itineraries that you can adjust to where you want to go and to your own pace.

One of the best things is that it is an e-book with links to all the pertinent information.  Purchasing tickets, sights in each city, hotels, restaurants, and itineraries.  When things change, as they always do, Doug and Tracy are able to easily update links and information that has changed and redrop the book, so you always have the most up-to-date information available.

We’re travelling with another couple, and they picked up a copy of the book, as well.  Even if you can’t go on a trip in the near future, it’s a super fun way to spend some time daydreaming for the future!

If you have any plans to visit the UK and want to venture out of London without having to drive it yourself, this is the book for you!”
