Robert Nisbet, Director of Nations and Regions at the Rail Delivery Group, said:
Britain’s train companies never wanted to leave Interrail.
Following the strong reaction to news of our departure, we and Eurail, the company which runs Interrail, renewed talks.
We are pleased to be able to tell passengers that we have reached agreement and will be remaining part of both the Interrail and Eurail passes.”
“The rail industry boosts British tourism and, working together, rail companies are offering the best option for tourists with BritRail, which is recommended by Visit Britain, offers 2 for 1 deals on 200 attractions across the country and includes the convenience of mobile tickets.
British rail companies have been taking part in a trial of selling Eurail passes for the last year while continuing to sell our long-standing BritRail pass. We are ending the trial with Eurail because offering both passes is confusing and rail companies and Visit Britain support BritRail. BritRail offers:
2 for 1 deals on over 200 top attractions across the country, helping tourists save money
the convenience and environmental benefit of being available to keep your ticket on a smartphone, unlike Interrail/Eurail which offers paper tickets the opportunity to reserve seats discounts for children, youth, senior passengers, families, groups and people travelling between November and February – as well as running promotions throughout the year a wide range of good value passes for people visiting specific regions, for example an England only pass and a BritRail London Plus Pass for travel around the South East up to Stratford Upon Avon, Bristol, Bath and Kings Lynn
We want to work with Eurail Group to develop an offer for tourists who want to buy the Eurail and Britrail passes together.
