I swear that I once visited a site where you could put your proposed itinerary in and it told you the best rail pass to buy. Anybody know where it is? thx - D

I think that's www.railsaver.com

also www.railpass.com

Find out the cost of the pass and then the costs of not using the pass. many times the pass is not worth it.

Passes are good for a certain number of days. If you travel on more than those days, you still have to purchase a serperate ticket. If you travel on the EuroStar, there is usaually a additional fee ontop of the pass.

Thank you!

Good ol' Rick Steves has a good way of explaining passes and a good estimator of point-to-point fares as opposed to passes. Not scientific to the last penny, but handy. www.ricksteves.com
