Hello and welcome to today's independent travel podcast with me.

So I'm on the Wednesday, the 2nd of July.

I'm on the marvelous Rix 50.

That's the name of the Austrian train that is speeding from a beautiful city,

Vince on the Danube to the arguably even more handsome Danube city of Paso in Germany.

It's a beautiful day in the train.

It's largely empty, which is one reason why Interrail was invented.

And I'm talking to you today about Indirao.

Oh, it's a lovely twin-inspired church drifts past to the right

because you have basically 24 hours in which to invest in an inter-rail pass for travel

from September the 1st onwards at a discount of 20%.

Every sale off of the interrail organisation gives you an opportunity to get a discount, anything

from 15 to 50%.

20% is actually pretty good.

I'll run through some prices in just a moment, but unless you get in by close a business

on the 3rd of July, it will be too late for this particular round

aren't a fan of interrail because when it began in 1972 the whole idea was to help fill up

frames and the idea then was that if you were under 21 then you could pay initially 32 pounds

barely a pound a day for unlimited travel on the railways of Europe since then it's

opened up to everybody and as discounts younger people and also for those 60 or over.

But I'm going to be talking about the basic prices.

With the promotion, it's now going to cost just under £200 for the entry-level interrail
