Advisors who attended received face-to-face news on the latest travel and rail developments in Europe and Britain in 2024, as well as updates on European train services and connections across the continent.

As part of the events in Sydney and Melbourne, there were ten lucky advisors in each capital who took home prizes for topping the quiz.

One of the prizes included a 1st class 15-day Eurail Global Pass & $100 Endota Spa voucher from Rail Europe.
