More options for European rail travellers
SNCF, the French national railway, has rejoined the revamped Select Pass, while Eurail has announced Thello as a new benefit partner.
From April 1, Thello becomes a Eurail benefit partner by offering pass holders a discount of 25%.
Thello operates in France and Italy, connecting European destinations such as Paris, Milan and Venice by night train (http://www.thello.com).
Thello is a French-Italian railway company born from the partnership between Trenitalia and Transdev. It offers departures every evening from Paris and Dijon in France, and in Italy from Venice, Padova, Vicenza, Brescia and Milan.
In Italy, passengers can continue their journey by connecting with the high speed Frecciarossa network; which takes just under three hours to cover the distance of 576 kilometres between Milan and Rome.
Pass holders can redeem this special discount from most Eurail sales agents, as well as Thello and Trenitalia points of sale.
After a one-year absence, SNCF has rejoined the redesigned Eurail Select Pass.
Eurail Group offers a Four-Country Pass only.
Customers can tailor-make their own pass by selecting four out of 26 countries, provided that they are directly connected by a participating Eurail railway or shipping line.
Three and Five Country Select Passes are no longer available.
