Eurail to offer Turkey pass in 2013
Changes to the Eurail Pass product have been released, taking effect January 1, 2013
Turkey will join the Eurail Global and Eurail Select Pass when TCDD, the Turkish railway company, becomes a Eurail Pass member on January 1, 2013.
Westbahn will be the first private railway company to join the Eurail Group railway community in January, offering Eurail Pass holders the opportunity to ride its high-speed services between Salzburg and Vienna.
SNCF, the French national railway company, has decided to withdraw its participation in the Eurail Select Pass as of January 2013.
The French network will still be accessible to customers who purchase the Eurail Global Pass (valid in 24 participating countries per January 2013) or the Eurail Regional Pass (valid for travel in two bordering European countries).
Eurail Select Passes, including France, can still be purchased through December 31, 2012 from authorised sales agents although some agents may stop selling this pass around the December 27.
Select Passes will be valid on SNCF’s trains for their entire validity period in 2013; however, passes must be validated within six months of purchase.
Even though SNCF will no longer participate in the Eurail Select Pass product, pass holders will still be able to reach Spain and Portugal by ferry via Italy, receiving a 20% discount from Grimaldi Lines
Meanwhile, Melbourne-based International Rail now has exclusive access to the new Renfe Spain Rail Pass for Australian travellers.
The e-ticket rail pass is available only for international travellers and serves more than 30 of Spain’s most popular tourist cities.
The pass includes all high-speed supplements and seat reservations.
