Does anyone know if you can get an open ticket for the UK rail network over a period of a week or fortnight?

    The only type of ticket I know of similar to this type is a Period Return - you travel out on a specific date and back within a month. Whether they do an Open Single I don't know I'm afraid

    Perhaps I worded it poorly, I meant a UK version of the Interrail pass. So you can travel around the UK as you wish for a touring holiday.
