Do you know of any similar products that exist for Europe? I'm in England and would love to fly all over Europe (and have been considering it for a while) but having a bluepass type thing would make it even more attractive. My google searches produce nothing so I'm not too hopeful :(

There's always Eurail (http://www.eurail.com/)

"Only non-European residents can use a Eurail pass." An English resident would need to get InterRail.

But see the cautions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterRail#Decreasing_attractivi... . Going from London to Paris by train requires a 75€ supplement on ~50€/day pass. The one-way price is 123€. While there is some savings because you can go on additional trains afterwards, France also charges a supplement for InterCity trains and has a seat quota.
