FS: Three Month Unlimited Travel Eurail Pass Validated May 27th
Hi All,
I just got back from a round-the-world trip. I was expecting to be out for six months, but was only out four instead. I did my first month in Australia, the second in Asia (Japan, China, Singapore and Thailand), and the last two in Europe. I bought two Eurail passes for Europe, one One Month Unlimited and one Three Month Unlimited. I validated the Three Month Unlimited May 27th and am now back in the States. Hence, it has more than two months left! If you're interested, send me an email with a serious offer. On my two month travel around Europe I went from Helsinki-Stockholm-Copenhagen-Amsterdam-Berlin-Prague-Munich-Venice-Milan-Rome-Athens-Barcelona. Then, through Ireland and from Brussels to Paris. Needless to say, I know alot about Eurail travel and can give you excellent tips. Note above that I was required to buy a ticket from the German/Czech border to Prague and back as Czech is not covered by the pass. Also, to get from Rome to Athens I went from Bari to Patras with Blue Star and then railed into Athens. Also, technically these passes can not be transferred. But, the tickets themselves are never inspected, the officer will just look at the validation date. No worries, Shaun |

It's a pity that you couldn't have finished the second Eurailpass. My experience with Eurailpass is that the conductors never ask to see your passport, except in Holland and they almost always ask in Holland. My pages at http://www.enjoy-europe.com/hte/chap17/rail.htm would probably be of interest to you. I would appreciate any comments.

I've been asked throughout Europe during 20 yrs of using these passes. Peopl unfamiliar with the pass or new will almost always ask. And if you're caught using someone else's pass, that's trouble. |

I wouldn't if I were you. It'll be in breach of the conditions of use of the ticket and may result in confiscation or prosecution. -- Phil Richards London, UK Home page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

I'd risk it if the price is right. They never check passports. Often they didn't even check the validation dates - the conductors almost always don't care, even with my suspect pass (my pass was validated in Athens, which was trouble. They wrote the wrong date on it and scribbled it all out. Idiot Greeks!).... Sometimes they were a little more stringent than others, but rarely. |

When I took overnight and international trains(Nice Ville to Roma Termini and Venezia Santa Lucia to Paris Bercy), both conductors took my passport and Rail Pass in the evening and then returned them the next morning. |
