Whether for the efficiency of high speed, the abundant comfort, the scenery, or the attractive prices, travelling by train is a unique experience. If you haven’t decided how to travel for your next trip, we’ve put together five compelling reasons to choose travelling by train over any other means of transport.

City-centre to city-centre. Train stations are located in city centres, so you can begin exploring easily. Avoid endless lines at airports or the stress of driving in a different country.

Comfort. Trains provide comfort with spacious seating, ample legroom, and designated areas for luggage.

Be green. Trains are an eco-friendly, low impact form of travel. And high-speed trains are 3 times more energy efficient than regional trains.

Unique experience. Enjoy diverse experiences; watch rolling landscapes pass by, stretch your legs as you walk through the train, and chat with locals and other travellers.

Save money. Our broad product range of rail passes and train tickets fit the needs and budgets of all travellers: adult, senior, youth, child, groups, and families.

ABOUT TRAVELLING BY TRAIN Now that you know the benefits of train travel, these are answers to the questions we are asked most often. Should you have a question that is not answered here, contact your trusted Travel Advisor for more information.

TRAIN TICKETS

A train ticket is a travel document issued for travel between two known destinations. Choose from two types: Open ticket

Valid for travel on a specific route within a set period of time No seat is guaranteed Valid from one city to another

Global ticket

Valid for travel on a specific route for a specific date and time Mandatory reservations are included Valid from one city to another

TYPES OF TICKETS

Depending on the train operator, your train tickets will either be delivered to you in paper form or electronically via email.

Paper ticket

Conventional paper travel document A paper ticket is mailed to your home.

E-ticket

Print at Home travel document A PDF of the ticket is emailed to you and must be printed before arriving at the station. Once printed, your ticket is valid for travel.

RESERVATIONS

A reservation guarantees a seat, or berth, on board the train. Reservations are mandatory on most high speed, scenic, and night trains. Global tickets include a reservation and your seat number is printed on your ticket. On some trains, when travelling with a rail pass, the reservation is called a “passholder fare.� When travelling with an open ticket or a rail pass, you must book reservations separately.

Space is subject to availability, so book early.

Print at Station travel document An e-ticket confirmation code is emailed to you. To retrieve your tickets, enter this code at a self-service ticket kiosk in the station. You must retrieve your ticket prior to boarding.

CLASSES OF SERVICE

Train travel offers several options, though most often they are classified as First or Second class. In all classes, seats are large and comfortable with ample leg room.

Second class experience Comfortable seats Space for luggage Access to onboard restaurant/bar-buffet car for food and refreshment purchases First class experience Spacious cars Comfortable reclining seats with ample legroom Generous space for luggage Some trains offer extra services including meals, lounge access, and taxi reservations High speed trains such as Eurostar, TGV Lyria, Thalys, Frecciarossa, and Italo offer Premier or Executive Business class, in addition to First and Second class Premier, Business, or Executive experience Business lounge access Newspapers and magazines Onboard catering served at seat Quiet cars Taxi reservations

WHAT IS A RAIL PASS?

A rail pass allows unlimited travel on the national rail network(s) of the country(ies) it covers. Passes are usually the best value if your itinerary includes three or more journeys and they allow you to choose when you travel within a set period of time and they often come with bonuses. Look for reduced or free fares on ferries, cruises, private trains, hotels, museums, and other attractions— plus local discounts. There is a wide range of passes from the Eurail Global Pass, covering 31 countries, to passes, like the Swiss Travel Pass or the BritRail pass covering only one country. Travelling with a rail pass is like travelling with a great companion who helps you keep your budget on track.

Which rail pass is best for me?

Continuous Pass Travel consecutive days during the validity of your pass.

Flexi Pass Travel on the days of your choice within the validity of your pass, either consecutive or non-consecutive days. e-Pass The Renfe Spain Pass, valid for travel segments in Spain, is issued as an e-pass.

Good to know about rail passes: Pass holder fares, also known as reservations, are mandatory for seats on most high speed, scenic, and night trains—remember to book these as early as allowed Discounted reservations are available for rail pass holders Most rail passes may be purchased up to 11 months before travel dates

DISCOUNTS ON RAIL PASSES

Important: Age limits vary according to the product or the country travelled, so check before booking. Different rules apply for train tickets.

Children

Under 4 travel free (unless a reservation for a separate seat/ berth is required) Ages 4–11 usually pay half the adult fare Swiss Travel Pass: children under 16 travel free with a parent BritRail Pass: a child under 16 can travel free with an adult or senior Eurail and German Rail Passes allow two children under 12 to travel free with a paying adult Reservations for separate seat/berths are at an additional cost

Youth

RAIL PASS or TRAIN TICKET RAIL TRAIN PASS TICKET

Best for discovering more than 3 cities Children usually travel free Often includes travel bonuses

BOOK A RAIL PASS IN 3 EASY STEPS 1: Pick the number of days you want to travel Continuous travel days for travellers that want to experience as much as possible in the time they have (Eurail Global Pass, BritRail, and Swiss Travel Pass only) Flexible travel days for the person wanting to spend extra time at a destination 2: Reserve your seats Reservations are required on most high speed, overnight, scenic, and international trains. We recommend always checking your desired journey for any specific seat reservation requirements.

Travelling on local and regional trains allows you to explore at will. Simply board with your rail pass and choose any open seat.

3: Activate and travel Your rail pass requires that you activate it by getting it stamped at the ticket window at the departure station on the day of your first train journey.

Once activated, you are all set and ready to explore.

WHAT’S AT THE STATION?

Each station is unique, picturesque, and has its own distinct architecture; take time to look around before you get on the train. Most stations offer services such as currency exchanges, shops, information desks, restrooms, restaurants, and more. Unwind at Europe’s longest champagne bar at London’s St Pancras station. Enjoy high-end fashionista shopping at Milan Centrale. How about a little art infusion at Madrid’s Puerta de Atocha train station, home to a permanent sculpture display? You’ll also find that many of Europe’s train stations are hubs for other transportation like local buses and subways, or airport transfers.

HOW DO I FIND MY TRAIN? At the station

Locate the large DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL board in the centre of most stations. Match what is on your ticket with the Departure Board. Look for Train Number, Departure Time, and Platform Number, then head to the platform.

At the platform

Look for the Carriage (or coach) Number that is printed on your ticket or reservation and position yourself on the platform nearest to where your coach will be. Your ticket or reservation will also indicate your class of service. Many train stations have diagrams located above the platforms that illustrate the location of each coach on the train. These diagrams enable you to wait on the platform very close to where your coach will be arriving.

Seat reservation

If you have a seat reservation, your ticket will also have your seat number. Once you have boarded the correct car, proceed to your seat.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LUGGAGE?

Take only what you can easily manage yourself. Storage compartments are available on all trains and are most often located at the end of each carriage and/or above the seats. Please label your luggage to avoid mix-ups and note that some major train stations do have luggage storage lockers or storage room services. For groups of 10 or more, luggage handling is available for advance purchase on select trains.

GROUP TRAVEL

We take pride in delivering quality service to all travellers, no matter the number of travellers. If you know 10 or more people who want to travel together that’s the best time to contact one of our Group Specialists. Groups of 10 or more travelling together receive discounted pricing and personalised service. Our multi-lingual Group Travel Consultants are dedicated to your booking needs throughout the process and will work with you to secure space months in advance and provide helpful information to ensure your journey is a success.

They can help you organise: Seat, sleeper, and couchette reservations Train charters or exclusive carriages Meal service, and luggage handling City transportation cards and museum passes Secure space months in advance of journey From student groups to corporate incentives, we’ve got you covered.
