The www.raileurope.co.uk website has had a facelift. The train just got even more attractive for British travellers wanting to visit Europe.

Straightforward online booking is what RailEurope Ltd., the subsidiary that markets SNCF train tickets in the UK and Ireland, is going for. And it's a big success! Whether you're looking for a direct journey from London to Paris, or a through-ticket to Nice, the new raileurope.co.uk website makes booking incredibly easy, from the search page to the display of the best price results.

Loads of new features. The new website provides a simplified, dynamic design, user-friendly browsing and all the information you need - just the ticket for taking the train for your trips throughout Europe. Check out the top 10 cities to visit in each country, climb aboard the Orient Express, and pick up some great deals (Thalys tickets at half-price this summer and student tickets). Have a look on board the train before you go, and check out the facilities available. Get the lowdown on 100 European stations and their services (food, left luggage, nearby hotels, etc.), and view the full InterRail pass guide.

Extreme testing. The website was trialled in mid-April when the Icelandic volcano was erupting! It received 6 times more visits than under normal circumstances, and proved its mettle.
