My son is already in the UK. Can I buy him a Britrail pass?

Accepted answer

What I read on the Dutch version of the 'buy your BritRail M pass' page is that you can enter your date of arrival in the UK till about 6 months after arrival. You may have to adjust the arrival date by hand but when I tried that was possible.

There is however a rule that you may only use such a pass if you are in the UK for 6 months or less and may be asked for travel details out of the UK if there is doubt.

In the FAQ (still in Dutch) I found this information.

Onze BritRail passen zijn alleen beschikbaar voor klanten met een non-uk paspoort die maximum 6 maanden in de UK verblijven. In geval van inspectie op de trein dient u een bewijs van terugkomst (reisdetails van vlucht, boekingsnummer van trein/ferry) te tonen.

My translation:
Our BritRail passes are only available for customers with a non-UK passport who are in the UK for maximum 6 months. In case of inspection on the train you need to be able to show a proof of return (travel details of flight, booking number of train/ferry).

Before you buy your own, make sure you can get your son a pass, if you want to use the same pass for both of you.

If your son is in the UK for more than 6 months you can not buy such a pass for him.
