UK pushed out of Interrail scheme after dispute [BBC]
The UK's decades-long membership of the Interrail scheme, which allows people to travel around Europe on a single train ticket, is to end. From January 2020, UK rail journeys will no longer be covered by either the Interrail or Eurail passes, said Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents UK train operators.
Together with the withdrawal of DB through tickets between London and Germany from November this year, this is a big setback at a time when long-distance rail travel is expanding and gaining a higher profile on several fronts, not least from a climate change/carbon-offset standpoint.
