travel by rail in Europe

June 7, 2010 - 21:15 — Visitor (not verified)

I recently purchased a flexipass through Eurail and felt the need to pass along my experiences to everyone I can. I was unable to travel on many days due to the train system between France and Spain. Platforms were changed right before departure and incorrect information was given on nonexistent train connections leaving me stranded on several occations. Almost every ticket required a reservation fee on top of the ticket. It was a huge costly mistake and in the future I will consider flights between cities. I have traveled by pass in Europe in 1996 and had great experiences. Things have changed for the worse and the train is no longer a relieable mode of transportation.
