It doesn't hold data for all trains everywhere. Notably it does not cover:. So don't be surprised if it shows no trains at all running in late December if you ask it in August, as that's beyond the mid-December timetable change.
Simply make an enquiry for a date this side of the timetable change and assume that trains won't change much. If you get strange results you can try the railway operator's own website instead, for example www. There's a complete list of rail websites on the useful links page. You can adjust interchange times : You can set it to offer longer interchange times between trains by changing Duration of transfer standard to another value. Remember that by default it only allows the minimum theoretical time to change trains, whether changing into a local train that runs every 30 minutes or into a sleeper train which you cannot afford to miss.
Also remember that on a through ticket you're legally entitled to later onward travel if a delay means a missed connection, but with separate non-refundable train-specific tickets you carry the risk so you should allow more than the minimum interchange time which the system shows.
So make a reasonable allowance for delays, more about how long to allow for connections here. For British train times it's better to use www.

Published since , it had just celebrated years of publication when Thomas Cook pulled the plug on their entire publishing department, and the August edition was the last to be published by Thomas Cook.
The good news is that the dedicated ex-Thomas Cook team set up a private venture and a reborn European Rail Timetable continues to be published. Remarkably, the timetable has now survived its parent company, as Thomas Cook collapsed in What does it contain? Buy online at www. If you live in the UK you can also buy from www. Back to top. This section has turned into a bit of an essay. If you just want to know how to book the specific journey s you have in mind, skip this section, go to the How to buy European tickets page , select a specific journey and I'll tell you how to book it.
If you're interested in how European train booking works and how it doesn't , read on A reality check: There isn't a website that can sell tickets for all trains on all routes in every country Although you can look up train times almost anywhere in Europe using www.
So you can't go to europeanrailways. It's perfectly possible to travel by train from Stockholm to Alicante indeed, I'd recommend it but we're talking 6 trains run by 5 different operators ticketed with at least 4 separate tickets. Ah, I see from the look on your face that realisation is beginning to dawn As well as a national operator for each country, there are various private operators, either genuinely independent such as Italo , Regiojet or Leo Express , or pseudo-independent such as Thalys or TGV-Lyria created by the relevant national rail operator s to run specific international routes.
In fact, Europe has over 50 different rail operator websites selling train tickets for their own trains, even before considering third-party ticket resellers.
You need to use the right website for the right journey. So which is the relevant operator for your journey? If you go to the How to buy European tickets page , select your starting city, and on the next page select your destination, you'll find my advice on how to book that specific route. However, as a rule of thumb, if there's a named operator such as Eurostar or Thalys or Regiojet you'd go to that operator's website, in this case Eurostar.
If it's a normal international train jointly run by the relevant national rail operators, your starting assumption should be to use the national rail operator website for the country where your journey starts.
The pseudo-independent operators can also be booked at the owning national operator sites. The national operator sites can of course book other trains in their respective countries too, in connection with Eurostar or Thalys or TGV-Lyria, as one transaction. It can be useful to know that! Many international services can be booked at the national rail operator site at either end For international journeys, your starting assumption is to book them at the national rail operator website for the country where the journey starts.
But if a train can be e-ticketed, you can also book using the destination country's national train operator website. Now it gets interesting, as this is one of the routes where each partner operator manages advance-purchase price levels independently. So the price at bahn. So it pays to check both! In fact, even the fixed-price full-flex fare can differ between partner operators. Of course, I tell you this on my Vienna-Prague page! But a word of warning: Check ticket delivery carefully if buying from the operator at the destination end.
For example, Austrian Railways oebb. That last example is another reality check: PKP aren't the only operator not to sell international tickets online. Longer journeys often need to be broken down into stages Many international journeys involve a change of train, and often this also means a change of operator.
Operator websites may not be able to sell tickets for such journeys. Paris to Florence can't be booked at the French Railways website en. You need to book the Paris-Turin train at en. Two tickets, two bookings, on two different websites, this is the reality of Europe's rail network in the 21st century. But there are two specialist retailer sites that resolve this Introducing www. Two ticket retailer websites deserve a special mention, www.
These connect to multiple operators, allowing tickets for trains across much of western Europe to be booked in one place. They have their own journey planning logic, so for example they can work out a suitable journey from Paris to Florence using an SNCF train from Paris to Turin and a Trenitalia train from Turin to Florence, they then source the Paris-Turin ticket from SNCF and the Turin-Florence ticket from Trenitalia, and add them together to provide you with a Paris-Florence journey as one seamless transaction.
I often recommend www. They are designed for international users, so happily accept overseas payment cards some national train operator sites struggle and are written in plain English some national rail operator sites slip back into local language or use poor English translations.
The downside is that they charge a small booking fee, but it's often worth paying that. They also both connect to private operator Italo. You get the picture? More about who Thetrainline are. More about who Raileurope are. Incidentally, you might also come across Omio.
Omio has similar connectivity, but at the time I write this I don't believe it has any journey planning logic. So although it can sell you a Paris-Turin ticket using its connection to SNCF if you ask it for Paris to Turin, and it can sell a Turin-Florence ticket using its connection to Trenitalia if you ask it for Turin to Florence, if you ask it for Paris to Florence it will say there are no trains and will suggest a flight because it lacks the capability to plan the journey itself and combine multiple tickets.
It also says there are no trains for journeys where it lacks the necessary connectivity. So it's important to understand a site's limitations. Omio does have some extra connectivity, for example it connects to Swedish Railways sj. So which website should you use to buy tickets? Don't worry! On seat Go to the How to buy European tickets page and select your starting city. On the next page, select your destination city. I'll then explain the different ways you can make that specific journey and which website s to use to buy tickets.
But below is some general advice on how to check fares Austria www. Bulgaria www. Luxembourg www. Romania www. The national rail websites listed above sometimes sell international tickets to neighbouring countries as well, but often only in a limited way, for example tickets for direct trains.
However, you'll find detailed advice on how to book specific international journeys on the How to buy European tickets page. Here are some general rules of thumb Rule-of-thumb 1, try www. These connect to the British, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Austrian, Benelux systems and can easily book journeys including multi-operator journeys to, from and within those countries.
Be aware of their limitations: You still need to use other sites for journeys not covered, for example they don't connect to the Portuguese, Norwegian, Finnish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Czech or Hungarian ticketing systems.
They also charge a small booking fee, you can avoid paying any fee by buying direct from train operator websites, using the following rules of thumb Rule-of-thumb 2 , if you know that the train you want is run by a specific operator, go to that operator's website:. Rule-of-thumb 3 , otherwise, simply go to the national train website for the country where your journey starts. Although there are many exceptions to this rule, as you can see below:.

Polish Railways haven't yet enabled online booking for international trains, except for than Berlin-Warsaw. All other international tickets starting in Poland can be arranged through reliable ticketing agency www.
Danish Railways www. Rule-of-thumb 4 , break the journey down I have lost count of the times I've advised travellers to split the booking and book each section of the journey, or if necessary, each individual train, at the relevant operator's website.
For example, www. Similarly, Prague to Venice can't be booked online anywhere, but the Czech Railways site www. There are endless examples of this all over Europe, some creative thinking is often required! Rule-of-thumb 5 , some trains cannot be booked online Remember that some trains simply cannot be booked online so will need to be booked by phone or at the station. I'll say it again, for advice on which website to use for which specific European train journey, see the How to buy European train tickets page.
It matters whom you call! Some agencies are better for some journeys than others because of the ticketing systems they use. You'll find a list of agencies with detailed advice on who to call for what specific journey on the How to buy train tickets by phone page.
In the meantime, here's my advice in an nutshell, if you live in the UK if you live outside Europe, stick to booking online :. Or try Ffestiniog Travel on , lines open weekdays, Saturdays. They use the German Railways reservation system, so have all the cheap fares available for journeys to, from and within Germany. More exotic journeys, for example to Russia, Ukraine or Istanbul can be booked with German Railway's English-speaking telesales line with only a 1.
