50% DISCOUNT ON BRITRAIL PASSES FOR YOUTHS

04-16-2008

WITH SPECIAL EURAIL PASS HOLDER RATE

NEW YORK, NEW YORK APRIL 15, 2008 Planning to spend your school break traveling around continental Europe and Britain?  Your timing couldn't be better.  The Eurail Pass is the time-honored way for young people to traipse the length and breadth of Europe, but it is not valid in Great Britain.  ACP Rail and BritRail are offering Youths (aged 16-25) who purchase any Eurail Pass a 50% discount off the regular adult price of a standard class BritRail Consecutive Pass, BritRail FlexiPass, BritRail England Consecutive Pass or BritRail England FlexiPass.

The discount offer is valid throughout 2008.  Simply phone 1866 938 RAIL and order your Eurail Youth and your BritRail Pass.  If you already have your Eurail Pass, log onto www.BritRail.com and choose the Eurail Pass Tab on select BritRail passes.  The Eurail and BritRail Passes must both be in your possession at the time you travel in Britain and they must both be valid for travel, but you need not use a day of travel on your Eurail Pass to complete your journey in Britain.

Whether you plan to travel throughout England and Scotland and Wales or just explore England, there is a pass that will fit your itinerary and your schedule.  BritRail Passes are available for as few as 4 days of travel right through to a month, so the time you spend touring Britain is entirely up to you.  19,000 daily train departures to more than 2500 destinations make the BritRail Pass your passport to Britain's heritage cities, historic towns and quaint villages.  Sit back and enjoy the ride.

In addition to being comfortable and efficient, train travel is 'green travel': Trains emit 50% less harmful Green House gases per passenger kilometer than cars; 25% of the gases compared to a plane traveling the same distance.  Initiatives like Regenerative Braking have a significant impact on the environment: the energy saved by Regenerative Braking is enough to provide power to 11,825 homes for a year or to brew 2.6 billion cups of tea.

So traveling by train is definitely the best way to see Europe and Britain.   It's quick, comfortable and environmentally friendly.  With the Eurail Pass holder 50% discount for Youths, the 'all-access' standard class 4 Day BritRail Consecutive Pass costs $130US; the FlexiPass version is $165US.  The discounted cost for a 4 Day BritRail England Consecutive Pass is just $105US; the FlexiPass version is $133US.  Call 1866 938 RAIL or visit www.Britrail.com today.
