  | Why Choose Rail?
Train travel offers a scenic, comfortable and exciting departure from "typical" Travel
The romance of traveling by train continues to enthral as it has for more than 170 years. Rail travel is the best way to get close to all that travelling has to offer, from big cities and quaint hamlets to scenic beauty and fascinating people. It is also the one form of transportation that conveniently and efficiently takes travelers practically anywhere and everywhere they want to go...in style.
Eliminate the Hassles
The major cities and attractions you long to see are linked by the extensive European and Canadian rail network -- a vast system stretching over hundreds of thousands of miles. And train travel eliminates all the hassles that can play a part in a complex itinerary. This means:
• travel city center to city center
• no manoeuvring through crowded airports located miles from the nearest city
• no hailing taxis from airport to downtown
• no traffic headaches driving in and out of big cities or trying to understand foreign road signs
Trains provide frequent service, are roomy, eminently punctual, and take passengers directly from one bustling city to the next without the bother of airport transfers. Train travel allows you to see some of the most breathtaking scenery -- certainly more than they will see soaring 35,000 feet above the Continent!
Today's Rail Experience
Maybe you have toured Canada and Europe by train as college students, armed with a giant backpack. Or you may be someone whose idea of a train trip is the overpriced, unreliable commuter rail you take to and from the nearest city each day. Those who have not experienced the excitement and affordability of today's Canadian Trans Canada/Express or European railways and are in for a big surprise.
A Railpass for Everyone
Whether you are on your first train trip in Canada or Europe, or planning a repeat trip, chances are you'll find a railpass that's just right for you. Once you've determined the key factors in planning your trip -- the amount of time you have to spend and the places you want to visit within that time, you'll be able to choose with confidence the railpass that best suits your needs. This is travel on your terms.
