WHY TRAVEL BY TRAIN?

FAST

Many trains travel at 300 km/h allowing you to move between cities quickly and efficiently avoiding traffic congestion on motor ways. What does this mean? Well particularly in Europe it allows more time to be spent at your end destination. Over a three week holiday this may mean four more hours at the Vatican City, three more hours at the Eiffel Tower or five more hours strolling through Venice. Traveling by train simply buys you more time!

NO WAITING

No lengthy airport check-ins, down time, possible flight delays and cancellations. A great feature of traveling by train is arriving only 15 minutes prior to departure. Already there is a substantial saving of time opposed to flying where check in is required two hours prior to departure. Also once you’re at your end destination there is no need to be delayed waiting for luggage and arduous immigration procedures, you simply get out and generally stroll or take a short taxi to your accommodation.

HEART TO HEART

Most railway stations are in the centre of the city which avoids expensive taxi fares getting from airports to accommodation. This once again saves time and allows more time exploring.

EASY WAY TO BUDGET AND PLAN

With no need to pay for motor way tolls, fuel or parking a rail pass allows you to know exactly where you stand financially before heading off on your adventure. ** Did you know driving between Paris and Nice return costs over $200 in motor way tolls?

RELAXING

There is no more relaxing method of travel than train travel. On a train you can you read a book, have a sleep, talk to the locals, move freely between carriages or have a drink in the bar? On many routes you can also hop off on and off at towns along the way and catch the next train. (subject to traveling in the same direction) Driving, especially through Europe can be mentally draining and stressful as you are continually referring to maps and trying to read streets signs in foreign languages.

FLEXIBLE

Europe has over 250,000 kilometers of train tracks at your finger tips. Coupled with the frequency of departures (The Eurostar departs 16 times a day) you can always find a service that suits your needs.

PANORAMIC

The scenery from trains is absolutely spectacular and in many instances you are traveling through terrain which is not accessible by car or foot.

SAFETY

Taking a train in Europe is a very safe method of travel. When you consider the alternative of driving on the left hand side of the road and right hand drive in regions you have never laid eyes on before you can understand why. In a northern winter icy conditions also make for interesting driving for Australians who as a rule don’t normally experience these conditions.

MEET THE LOCALS

In Europe an average 93% of passengers on trains will be locals going about their daily life be it to and from work or on their own holidays. Trains a wonderful way to meet new people (including fellow travelers) learn about their culture and country.

TRAVEL TOGETHER AND SAVE

Many rail passes offer a discount if you are traveling with two or more passengers. Rail passes are also good value for money as there are no high season prices and remain the same price all year round.

SENIOR AND YOUTH DISCOUNTS

TRAVEL AT NIGHT

Why not consider the option of traveling overnight on one of the many night train services offering a range of sleeper accommodation from single or twin berth private sleepers to couchette carriages offering excellent value for money beds for 3 to 6 people. Arrive refreshed and ready to explore a new city.
