How to travel cheap around Europe via Train?


I am planning, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic to travel by train this summer from the UK. One of the best options for the purchase of a Global Pass, which is only for European citizens. But I’m not a European resident, which means that I need to find cheap travel to other opportunities. Can anyone give suggestions?

    The global Interrail pass is for European residents. The global Eurail pass is for non-European residents.

    So look at Eurail passes, but take into account that Czech Republic and the Eurostar are not part of the Eurail pass.

    I personally would fly from the UK to Switzerland and from Prague to the UK. For Czech Republic I would by point-to-point tickets, for Switzerland and Austria I would compare point-to-point with national rail passes.
