Train Travel EuropeNew high speed rail links have helped train travel Europe enjoy something of a renaissance lately. Although not usually as cheap as flying, the has opened up Europe to rail travellers like never before and this will only continue to grow now London's new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras is fully operational. Travelling by train has always been, and remains to this day, the most civilised way to travel if you can afford it. Watching town and country whizz by before arriving right in the heart of your city destination beats flying hands down every time. With raising awareness of the environmental issues involved with flying you can also feel pleased with yourself if you choose to travel by rail. What rail travel in Europe desperately needs at the moment is a simple booking website similar to the many online airfare sites like the aforementioned skyscanner, linking all the various national rail companies together. For the time being the best of the European rail travel websites on the net at the moment are www.raileurope.co.uk........... ........the extremely thorough and highly recommended www.seat61.com and the excellent German national railways site www.bahn.co.uk.
