H! Its my first time travelling in Europe by train so :| ..i need some advise! :D
I will start my 20 days travelling from London to Paris, from there i would take a night train Thello to Venice and travel from Venice to Rome and thereafter to Florence->Pisa here my problems starts...
I am considering to purchase the [b]Eurail Select pass [/b]to cover my travels in Italy & Swiss
From Rome, does my eurail pass cover the trip directly to Pisa or do i have to take a trip down to Florence then to Pisa?
And...which is the best route to travel from Milan to Interlaken using my eurail pass?
Thank you!

€** and Thello is NOT incl in EU/Interrail-so a pass makes no sense for that.
For the rest it all depends if that are the OnLY trips you want to make, your age and wish to travel 1st or 2nd and your ability to make advance bookings or not-if yes, than a pass will be a big rip-off.
Note that by now NO trains will be shown for travel after 14/12, major timetale chnage-that will be later. For a approach that would be mostly same-same, use any of the 100s of todays travelplanners, use the SAME type of day as travel and see what it turns up. This is not the USA with just 1 always late Amtrakker/day, nor OZ with the same, but you can expect connections via various routes, with various types of trains and thus varying times in travel. Better travelplanners let you even preset some consitions in that. And yes-there are about ev 2 hrs direct (means NO change-but not no stops in between) IC-trains Roma-stops in Pisa-onward to genova.
also be aware that there is NO airport in INterlaken-closest by for long distance is Zúrich/Kloten or maybe Geneva-and swiss trains cost an awful lot.
