Does Interrail include the tube?

Interrail is only valid in trains (the train operating companies listed here). In London, this includes London Overground, Southeastern, Tfl Rail (Crossrail) and Thameslink. It does however not include the tube, tram or bus lines.



No, the Interrail (and Eurail) pass does not include travel on the London Underground, commonly known as "the Tube." The pass is designed for use on National Rail services (mainline trains) across the United Kingdom and Europe. However, there are some exceptions within London: you can use your Interrail pass on the London Overground and the Elizabeth Line, as these are considered part of the national rail network. For the standard Tube lines (like the Central, Victoria, or Piccadilly lines) and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), you must pay separately using a contactless card, Oyster card, or mobile payment. Additionally, the pass is not valid on the Heathrow Express, though it is accepted on the slower Elizabeth Line service to the airport. In most other European cities, the pass similarly excludes local metros and trams unless they are specifically operated by the national railway.

Less Risks of damage: Unlike a suitcase, a light weight backpack wont tend to have any moving parts (apart from zips) This means you are automatically limiting the risk of damage to your luggage/ I.e broken wheels on cobbled streets etc. When interrailing, you're going to be on the move quite a lot.

A backpack is a hands-free option that lets you keep your belongings close to you at all times which in turn makes it easy to access your belongings on the go.
