2 RMT: Protest in France against European Union rail liberalisation (13.4.10)Rail workers from across Britain protested in Lille, France on April 13, 2010 against dangerous EU rules opening up rail traffic to competition.

Some 200 RMT members were among trade unionists from 14 countries that converged on the European Railway Agencys (ERA) headquarters demanding that safety be put ahead of profit and the dangerous liberalisation of Europes railways.

They demanded a clear commitment from the ERA that rail safety and jobs will not be sacrificed in the interests of competition and profit, and for the sustainable development of publicly owned and socially responsible railways.

Video filmed and edited by Chris Kasrils.

Which Europe Rail pass to choose?

I am traveling to Europe in early next year. I choose to travel within Europe by rail. However, i notice there’s a lot of company are providing cross country rail ticket on line. I am not sure which one should i go for… and what are the differences between each of them.

Could you please give me some idea how this work? Thanks..

There are a lot of places that sell the passes, but it’s all the same basic pass (actually there are two passes – Eurail for non European citizens/residents and Interrail for European citizens/residents, but you only qualify for one of the two). This is like the situation with airline reservations – you can make the booking at many, many sites (e.g., Expedia, Kayak, …). The e-ticket you end up with is the same for a particular seat on a particular flight.

You should read the information on this site regarding rail passes. This has much more information about whether a pass is better than individual tickets, selecting the right pass, using the pass, and things to avoid than there is room for in an answer here: http://www.seat61.com/
