Is UK included in Eurail Pass?

A Eurail Pass is a cost effective and flexible train pass that covers Britain (England, Scotland & Wales), along with over 30 European countries. Passes are available in both standard and first class travel, with discounts for travellers over 60 years and under 27 years.



Yes, as of 2026, the United Kingdom is fully included in the Eurail Global Pass. This allows travelers to use the pass on the vast majority of national rail services in England, Scotland, and Wales (Great Britain). It also covers the Eurostar high-speed train connecting London to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, though a mandatory seat reservation fee (often €30–€35) is required for these specific international routes. The inclusion of the UK has made the Global Pass an even better value for travelers wishing to combine a tour of the British Isles with mainland Europe. However, it is important to note that the pass does not cover local city transport like the London Underground (The Tube) or buses. For 2026, users must use the Eurail Rail Planner app to activate their pass and log their journeys, which acts as their digital ticket for the extensive British rail network including carriers like LNER, Avanti West Coast, and ScotRail.
