It’s the 7 PM rule and counts mentions what applies as a railday. From the http://www.eurail.co… FAQ section:

quote:What constitutes a rail day?

A rail day is considered any travel between 12 midnight to 12 midnight of the following day (i.e. a 24 hour period). 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 flexi or Selectpass, you would write the day of arrival on the pass prior to boarding the overnight train.

Also covered in this discussion forum… Probably more if you use the search function.
