General Information Five reasons to travel by train 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 the train. 1 2 3 4 5 City-center to city-center Most major train stations are located in the heart of the destination city and benefit from excellent connections with other public transportation such as the underground, taxis and buses. When travelling by train, you also avoid time-consuming and inconvenient transfers, endless lines at crowded airports or the stress of driving in a different country. Instead, you reach your destination refreshed and relaxed. Comfort Whether your journey is long or short, comfort is always appreciated. On board, you ll find spacious carriages with large seats and room for luggage. You can easily take a walk through the train or socialize at the bar-buffet carriage. And while second class offers good value for the money, first class can be surprisingly affordable, so don t hesitate to upgrade! Unique experience From high-speed trains offering an efficient and rapid connection between two cities to luxurious trains, to panoramic trains offering spectacular scenery, a train ride can be a destination in itself. This popular way to travel also offers the opportunity to meet the locals and learn more about their country and culture while getting tips on the best secret destinations. Save money Whether you go for a pass or a point-to-point ticket, you can always benefit from great deals. Tickets can be very affordable when booked in advance, while passes not only offer discounts, but also provide local bonuses. Why not stretch your budget with a night train to save on hotel costs? Be green It s not just the rolling hills outside your window that are green: it s the train itself. High-speed rail systems are more environmentally friendly than any other means of transport 4
All About Our Products What is a pass? A rail pass allows you unlimited travel on the rail network(s) of the countries covered. Passes are usually the best value if your itinerary includes three or more journeys. There is a wide range of passes: from the Eurail Global Pass (covering 28 countries) to passes covering only one country. A pass is also flexible, allowing you to choose when you travel within a set period of time. Passholder fares provide travelers with a discount on trains requiring reservations. What is a reservation? A reservation guarantees an accommodation (seat/berth) on board the train. Seat/berth reservations are mandatory on most high-speed, scenic and night trains. Reservations are included in a global fare premier train ticket. A seat number is printed on the ticket. Reservations must be booked separately when traveling with an open ticket or a pass. On some trains, the reservation is called a Passholder fare if you hold a rail pass. What is a point-to-point ticket? Point-to-point tickets are valid on a specific route, between two stations. If you have only a few trips in mind, then point-to-point tickets are recommended over a pass. Depending on the routes and the trains, you will be offered open tickets or global fare premier train tickets. Open tickets allow you to travel on a given route at a fixed price within a limited period of time. No specific travel date or time is mentioned on the ticket and no seat is guaranteed. Global fares are tickets allowing you to travel on board most high-speed and night trains. Travel must take place on the specific train indicated on the ticket and includes a seat reservation. There is a wide range of fares and discounts of up to 60% when you book in advance. 5
Good to Know Which classes of service are offered? Rail travel offers several, most often classified as first or second class. Paper tickets or e-tickets? Paper: Your pass or point-to-point ticket is handed to you by your travel agent or mailed to you before you leave your country of residence. Your paper ticket has a monetary value. E-ticket: Your tickets can either be collected at the station or received by email. Print@Station: A reference code is sent to you for use at a ticket vending machine before boarding your train. There is no risk of losing your tickets before travelling. Print@Home: Your ticket is sent to you by email and must simply be printed from any printer before going to the station. Once printed, your rail ticket is valid for travel. What is the difference between Continuous and Flexi Passes? When you select your pass, you can usually choose between Continuous Passes, to travel consecutive days during the validity of your pass, or Flexi Passes, to travel on the (consecutive or non-consecutive) days of your choice within the validity of your pass. Are there discounts for Children, Youth or Seniors? Eurail, German Rail and France Rail Passes allow two children under 12 to travel free with a paying adult. To qualify for a youth discount of up to 50%, travelers must be between 12 and 25 years of age. In most cases, Youth Passes are available in first and second class. Travellers 60 years and older are considered seniors and can also benefit from special discounts on certain passes. Good deals on point-to-point tickets are available to most travelers. IMPORTANT: Age limits vary according to product or the country travelled, so check before booking. What are Saver & Twin Passes? When two or more people travel together with a pass, they may be entitled to a discount between 10% and 20% off the regular price. 6
All About Train Accommodations and Stations What types of compartments or sleeping accommodations are available on overnight trains? They vary according to the train and route. The most common compartments are singles, doubles and couchettes. Some offer T3, T4 and deluxe sleepers. A single is a first-class compartment that contains one bed, a private washbasin, linens and towels. A double is the same as a single with two beds (usually bunked). A couchette is a very affordable second-class option with six bunk beds and a public washroom with each carriage. T3 compartments contain three beds, a private washbasin, fresh linens and towels. T4 compartments contain four beds plus the same amenities of a T3 Deluxe sleepers include a private restroom in your compartment. Note: reservations are mandatory on all overnight trains. How do I find my train? It s easy. At the train station, you ll see large Departure and Arrival boards located in the center of most stations. Simply match the train number and departure time on your reservation or ticket on the train number on the departure board. The platform number where you should go will be listed right next to it. Once on the platform you ll notice that each carriage (also known as a coach) has a clear identification number on its side. Your reservation/ticket will list your carriage/coach number and your class of service/ 7
What do I do with my luggage? Storage compartments are available on all trains and are located at the end of each carriage and/or above the seats. Pack lightly for manageability anf allow time if you have more than one suitcase and need to change trains. Please label your luggage to avoid mix-ups, and note that some major trains stations do have luggage storage facilities. For groups of ten or more, luggage handling is available for advance purchase on select trains. Are additional services available at the stations? Most station offer services such as currency exchanges, shops, information desks, restrooms, restaurants and more. You can unwind at Europe s longest champagne bar at London s St Pancras station.
