Hot off the presses - Interrail passes for sale with a 25% discount from 25th November to 17th December.   Applies to global passes and single country passes except Switzerland.  "Usual exchange and refund conditions apply" according to the early data. It's likely that the pass (if electronic) will need to be activated within 11 months of purchase, or a specific start date within that time nominated if you purchase a paper pass.    I will follow up with sale URLs - the presses in France are ahead of the others.

Whilst there was no particular rush (we still have three weeks to go) I have booked an Interrail pass for next year.  Various sites are available - I use https://www.interrail.eu/en which I commend to you.  My pass needs activation by 26th October 2026 and I am now wondering if I can find anything to do in Europe.  Lisa will be with me some of the time.

I'm just giving this topic a gentle 'bump' reminder: there are still three days to go.

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Thanks, Chris ... and I have "bumped" it on my social media ... an excuse to post more pics too

This year, Lisa and I "Interrailed" around Europe - no car, no fly holiday and here are some of the pictures I took.   A friend has reminded me that there's an Interrail sale on - 25% off tickets for next year.  You don't have to choose dates and destinations - outside Great Britain you have 32 countries you can visit.  An adventure I was delighted to have and, yes, we have our passes from the current sale already and we're thinking whether to go to Aalborg, Zwolle, or places alphabetically between them.

It is much easier than you might think - happy to answer questions from my experiences though I am not a travel agent!
