RAILWAY users will be pleased to learn that they too will benefit from the 10-nation expansion of the European Union which officially took place last weekend. The popular ”Inter-Rail” pass has been expanded to include the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia, making surface travel to eastern Europe far easier and far cheaper than hitherto. For those who want to take a Grand European Tour by rail the pass now allows total flexibility for travel in up to 27 European countries, plus Morocco.
