Full review

The Inter-Rail pass and Euro Domino pass are becoming one, this means that Inter-Rail's classic global pass will remain the same for 1 month and 22 days (albeit more expensive) however the 16-day one zone pass will be withdrawn, along with all the current zone system, in its place will be a series of one-country tickets that operate on a certain number of days within a set time. e.g. 10 days in one month, although in general prices are going up. These will be based on new zones devised economically, rather than geographically for example a one country ticket is more expensive for the zone containing Germany, France and Great Britain, than other zones containing the Czech and Slovak republics for example.
This comes in to operation on the 01.APR.2007 so if you did want the old zone system then you would be required to buy your rail pass between now and the end of march, be warned you can only order rail passes up to 6 months in advance.

This is meant as an addition to the reviews already available on this topic, to bring them in line with current changes. For information on the current pricing and future pricing scheme please follow this link: http://www.interrailnet.com/passes.dhtml?country_id=28&language_id=11&type_ country=I

at the bottom of this current price table is another link that will lead to pricing and zone changes from April onwards

I hope this helps in your planning
