Travellers looking to explore Europe are increasingly taking to rail travel - also known as InterRailing - an industry expert has revealed.
Student Travel specialists, STA Travel, claim that rail travel offers passengers crossing the continent "totally flexible green travel".
"Travelling by rail allows you to enjoy the freedom of totally flexible green travel around up to 30 countries in Europe," a spokesperson for STA Travel said.
"With frequent, reliable, comfortable services straight to the heart of your destination it’s a fantastic way to travel ."
