Hey guys,

Im a Canuck who has been living in London since early November and I want to head to Europe and travel by train for a month. I know I am not eligable for Interail, but is there a way that I can get a Eurail pass while in the UK?

Also, if not, can I have one sent to my family in Canada and then mail it to me in London? Any advice would be great, thanks

If you start your travel after early May (first day of travel must be at least 6 months after you arrived in the UK) you can get an InterRail pass. This is OK even if you are over 26 - this pass is more expensive than the youth version. An InterRail pass is cheaper than a Eurail pass and covers more countries.

Your eligibility depends on your residence, which is shown by the stamps in your passport. So forget about trying to get someone from Canada to buy you one and send it.

You can find details of the various rail passes (and can follow the links to buy any of them) on this page:
