The next time you want to travel across New Zealand, the US, Canada, Australia or Japan by rail you'll need this excellently laid out website which tells you exactly how to go about it, how much your rail pass (whichever you choose) will cost and then you can order it online. They also cover Europe, with EU country passes and City to City tickets, offer UK and EU timetables and country maps of Europe. Don't even think of getting on a train without visiting here first.

There's a great deal going on on this website, from train and coach ticket information for anywhere in the UK, times, fare types, luggage allowances and online booking to ferry crossings and the seemingly inevitable plane tickets, hotels and theatres. The train and coach service is really excellent and easy to use so my advice is to stick to that and don't get carried away, at least to start with.
