I believe you'll find that any train route is applicable.
The prices will vary, but as you specify from say, London, to say, Dublin, there'll just be a calculation done of train + ferry + train = total.
Inded, Arrivetrainwales shows this - allowing you to enter in any two stations in either country.
As does directferries, which also explains transfers ...

You will have to modify your itinerary. Visiting all the places in your first group in a week might be possible if you went by air and taxi, but you would have perhaps an hour in each town; not really worthwhile.
Stratford, Bath and Stonehenge (and Oxford) are close enough to combine into one trip of three or four days. York and Nottingham (and perhaps ...

In the UK there are regulatory authorities that apparently limit the number of taxis and impose quality requirements there have been a study and suggestion by the UK parliament to abolish the Quantity Control on the number of taxis available in Rural areas and otherwise, which was similarly addressed by the Office of Fair Trade.

Ugly situation. Some ideas:
Befriend a specific taxi driver which is reliable (I think at the given time in the early morning there will be no rivals, it is more a convienience problem).
Be independent with other transportations. If you do not want or cannot afford
a car, a motorbike, a scooter: Some people I know of drive 40 km (25 miles) with
a bike. Ok, ...

So, does one need a transit visa to transit via UK to the US. This question can never be answered in a single word with a Yes or No. There are a few parameters that one needs to take into consideration. I will try my best to put things as clearly and simply as possible.

You can got to either Italian or French Embassy ( since the period to stay on both countries are the same ).
However, for this case you should specifically to ask for multiple journey visa.

1) Yes your phone can work overseas. With Sprint it seems that you will have to request for them to unlock the phone for international use. They appear to have a requirement that you are an existing customer in good standing - which I take to mean that you pay your bills. Call Sprint Worldwide Care on 888.226.7212 to get it done.

You can transit without visa (TWOV). Citizens of Philippines can TWOV.
A visa national who is going to the UK simply to travel on to another
country may enter without a visa if these conditions are met:
They arrive and depart by air
Their onward flight is confirmed and departs within 24 hours
They are properly documented for their ...

The quick answer is no without a visa. As a Philippines national you need a visa to go through the uk border.
This is clearly explained by the uk border agency here

Also, according to this page under some circumstances you won't need to have the goods sighted. I assume the following applies at Luton:
"If there aren't any customs officials at the port or airport you're leaving from, there will be a telephone you can use to ring an official or a clearly marked customs post box in which you can leave your refund form. ...

Almost all Visa and MasterCard cards I've seen in the US of A, include car-rental auto-insurance free of charge.
They only cover the rentals, and only those for which you pay with the card, and when you decline rental company's insurance. Here's the FAQ on the policy from VISA: http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/benefits/bft_dmg_waiver_personal.html, and ...

Stop 24 is located just minutes from the Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover. It is the UK's largest service station and until recently it was the newest. It also doubles up as a 'Port Early Arrival Facility', meaning that anyone early for their ship or a train can stop by and rest before heading onwards.
As well as a petrol station, it has other facilities ...

The landside transit visa allows you to immigrate into the country for a short period, remain there and then leave again.
It does not matter if you arrive and leave at the same location or a different one.
Normally, transit means that you arrive at one airport, do not pass immigration and stay in the 'airside' area of the aiport. Then you leave from that ...

Another altenative maybe to consider the train, if of course you can find a cheap ticket or one that is similar to the price you would pay on either National Express or the other companies mentioned in Mark's answer.
Cheap train tickets is a resource zone for finding cheaper train tickets. It's packed with hidden tips and tricks for cheap rail fares.

The main concern of the UK Border Agency seems to be to ensure that your visa is only used for visiting, but not for taking up de facto residence in the country.
Unless there is a note on the visa that says something along the lines of "may only be used to renew passport", or otherwise restricts your entry to a specific purpose (see #6), you can enter the ...

There are a few other companies in the UK, although none are particularly great - it's not huge distances so they go for packing you in, more than anything.
Megabus - if you get tickets well in advance, they can be incredibly cheap. They also have a sleeper service from London to Glasgow/Edinburgh.
Eurolines - although as they're an associate company of ...

The visas granted could not have been granted beyond the passports validity date. She can definitely travel to these countries before the visa/passport has expired. If the duration of stay is longer than the expiry date, then obviously she will have to renew her passport from your countries embassy/consulate and apply for an extension of her visas/stay ...

I have damaged a rental car - not from driving on the wrong side of the road but crunching it against a curb while turning around in a tight spot. We had declined their extra insurance because my credit card provides that as a benefit. The credit card company said to just send them the proof that I had rented the car as well as the receipts for damages. The ...

What happens if I (a US citizen) rent a car in, say, the UK, and crash it because I was driving on the wrong side of the road? Do I have to pay the damages out of pocket? What if I don't have the money? Will my US insurance carrier cover the damages?
You are fully liable for any damage you do to a rental car, and in most cases also for damage that ...

If you rent a car, you will always need to have an insurance. Most often it is included it in the rental sum and you're only liable up to some amount, which is in the 500 pound range. You can buy additional insurance to cover even these expenses. They will always give you an offer on pick-up, because that's a money-maker.
This is my experience from renting ...
