Im in London now and reliezed that the Eurail doesnt work in the UK. I looked at Brit rails and there service looks OK…but they require to ship it somewhere and Im hopping around staying at hostels. Whats the best plan of attack, do I just buy tickets at Train station or can I find a website to print it out somewhere?

How about just buying point-to-point tickets.

You can buy a eurail pass in UK — it will cost 20% more than buying it in the US (or elsewhere outside of Europe), but then you won’t have international shipping charges.   You can buy it at any of the Eurail aid offices.  Here, pasted from www.eurail.com is the list in UK.
