Month long rail pass, various routes?

Does such a thing exist, having some friends from Australia visit and they have Britrail, but can't get it if you're a UK citizen

Car isn't an option I'm afraid, only 20 so can't hire, and can't afford one at the moment as insurance is ridiculous....

If they haven't purchased it yet (but sounds like they have) they can get a Britrail Guest Pass along with their own ticket. This enable a UK resident to travel with them.

Rooughly what area are they looking to travel in?

You can get an all line Rover which will do what you want but is far from cheap.

It is 450 quid for 7 days and 680 for 14. If you have a railcard its 297 and 448 respectively.

There are many other region specific rail rovers which are better value but you will need to know the areas you want to be in.

Why don't they hire a car?
