EURAIL GROUP is to take on the management of the Inter Rail pass
products from 1 April 2007. Eurail was founded in 1959 to encourage
non-Europeans to travel by train in Europe and has since developed
offering rail passes for both young and adult travellers. Inter Rail,
in comparison, was created in 1972 for young people up to 21 years
only for travelling in 2nd class for one month of unlimited travel and
now covers 34 countries including Turkey and Morocco. There is no
longer an age limit but the basic concept has not changed. The Eurail
Group comprises 27 railways and shipping lines, as well as several
bonus partners.
