I know that neither England nor the Czech Republic are included in the Eurail system but when I look at the map of the routes, it shows a number of routes through England (and Scotland) and also through the Czech Republic. Are they just showing these routes to be informative or can I really travel through these countries with my Eurail Pass for free? Also, I have heard that Eurail passes do not cover the route from London to Paris (under the channel). How much would a ticket like this cost?

We traveled with Eurail pass throughout Europe for two months. The Czech Republic is not covered by the Eurail, but it is very easy and relatively inexpensive to purchase a ticket for travel. We went from Germany to Prague and I believe that the cost was around 30 Euros each. You only have to pay for the travel from the border. The Czech trains were not very nice, but I think it was worth it to visit. I dont recall the cost to travel the chunnel, but you definitely have to pay. You will find that although the rail pass pays for the tickets in many places you have to pay a supplement or a reservation fee which ranges greatly. In some countries, like Spain, you need a reservation for every intercity train that you ride. In Germany you could just hop on a go. For long trips or overnight rides you may want to make a reservation just to be sure you get a seat. Reservations to and from Paris were expensive. It just depends on the city. Have fun! Eurailing was one of the greatest experiences of my life!

The chunnel depends on how far in advance you buy them.
When I bought mine back in dec, it was 100 euros, bought the ticket on Thurs and traveled on the following monday.
Im sure you can get cheaper if you know your dates well in advance.
As for the CR europass, you use your pass until you get to the boarder of Czech, they have boarder control come in and stamp your passport twice, once for leaving the country you are in and the other to enter Czech. But you buy a ticket from the boarder to the destination you are going to. But the tickets are cheap since its not in Euros :) Traveling within UK is going to be more expensive. You can fly cheap though, check out
www.ryanair.com and www.easyjet.com These are two main carriers in europe where flights are DIRT cheap!
Some as cheap as 1.99, but you have to pay for airport taxes, so it ends up costing you around 30 euros!
Have fun!

I'll assume you're leaving in two days! Take half the clothes and realize that you'll spend twice the money you think you will. Bring a pair of nail clippers. Sounds stupid, but you'll need them for more than your nails. Bring a packet of tissues with you as you may not always find the toilet stalls have paper. Don't keep your passport in the same pocket as your credit cards/cash. Be open to new things!!! Relax.

you can find dirt cheap flights from london to paris on www.whichbudget.com
if you have some places that you want to visit that are far from the places you'll travel to by train, look up those cheap flights. it's amazing....some are free and you just pay taxes. no joke.
they are small airlines, sometimes and sometimes it's the small airports that are harder to get to, but you save so much on the flight, it's worth it..
