Travel Tips - Rail Passes, Train Passes, Travel Bookings - Ask Travel Editors

Train travel can be wonderful. No, not the daily commute into work. We are talking about super rail journeys that let you take in breathtaking views of beautiful places.

You simply can't get that kind of pleasure by any other means of transport. Travel by car - and if you are driving, you miss out on the sights. By air? By boat? Sure, they have their advantages - and each mode of transport is essential at the right time and in the right place.

But if you get the chance to try train tours, go for it and you will find it a delightful experience.

In the bigger cities, take out a train pass or a rail pass for a couple of days or more. Get off at various tourist attractions and explore the sights and sounds of the localities.

By booking your pass online, you ensure that you don't have to wait in a long line for you train pass.

Also, some rail companies may offer you special discounts for online bookings.
