travel europe by train

If you plan to travel Europe by train the first place you should research for train fares should be either nationalrail.co.uk or thetrainline.com. "National Rail's website" has a special promotion index page listing all the special discounted offers, says Martin Lewis from the consumer website moneysavingsexpert.com. By purchasing a rail-card you can get a discount of almost a third off most ticket prices.

The real key to saving money on your train fare is booking early. Advance tickets should be available at least 9 weeks in advance, although they could be purchased up to twelve weeks in advance. By traveling at off-peak times you can also save money. While you might think that buying a return would be cheaper than 2 singles, it is worth checking because many of the best deals are available on one-way tickets.
