Affordable rail travel and rail travel passes for backpackers and students


Traveling by rail is always a pleasant and relaxing way for backpackers to reach their next destination and view scenery that they will not see when traveling by road or air.

All western countries have fast and efficient rail networks that cover local as well as cross border destinations.

If you intend making frequent use of rail networks you will save yourself a considerable amount of money by purchasing a rail travel pass in advance prior to arriving in the country of departure.

The most recommended backpacking rail passes for travel across Europe are able to purchased online directly from Europe-on-Rail who offer backpacking travelers additional discounts on all travel passes. For your convenience the Europe-on-Rail booking engine for backpackers is displayed below.

To book a rail ticket for travel entirely within the UK you should visit this web site who offer very generous discounts for advance bookings to backpackers on the entire British rail network.

Backpackers Tip: As any unused rail pass purchased in advance is not refundable make certain that you will use it before purchasing it. You must however remember that it is generally not possible to purchase a rail travel pass in the country from where you intend to start the rail journey so you do need to purchase it in advance prior to arrival.
