Please avoid raileasy because it charges passengers booking and card
fees - not all ticket agents do that and it shouldn't be encouraged IMO.
As I understand it, they already get a commission from the ticket price.

Please use the state-owned rail company website
http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/ which will sell tickets to people abroad,
but you have to collect them from a printer machine at the station
(needs the card you booked with and a code you get from the website)
or you might be able to print them at home in some situations.

If you can get 3-9 people together at once, get a 33% discount at
http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/3plus
