This is mainly because I've seen peeps from other countries getting on the bus and being totally flummoxed by the system, which is actually easy once you kn…

Stena Lines operates the ferry system between Britain and Ireland and we got to take one from the Port of Fishguard and Rosslare. A few days later we got to take another one from Dublin Port back across to Holyhead.

The Chiltern Line is one of the cheapest railway lines to travel on out off London. The main station is Marylebone, the second smallest out of all the London stations. (Smallest is Fenchurch Street).

South shields is a buzzing cosmopolitian city. Fully commercialized, this city also has a very attractive coastal side to it, thats surprisingly country-side-like if you consider the city.

Hi,
I don't know what sort of things you like, but here are some random ideas from an almost-Londoner:
Free:
* All 'major' museums are free (Thank you Ken Livingstone - London's Mayor). Check out the Natural History Museum (as seen in Disney's 'One of our dinosaurs is missing' ;P).

Definitely prepare yourself for rain. It doesn't matter the season (I find) when you're visiting the UK, you'll have rain at some point.
