A rail day is considered any travel between 12 midnight to 12 midnight of the following day (i.e. a 24 hour period). During this perios you can take as many train trips as you like and it will only count as one day. However, a good tip to know is the 7:00pm rule. If you board a direct, overnight train after 7pm, only the following day of travel is counted. On your pass, you would write the day of arrival on the pass prior to boarding the overnight train. Some individual country passes do not offer this rule.
A rail month is calulated as a calendar month. For example, if your pass begins on January 2, it is valid until midnight on February 1.
