European Rail Travel

[SeaJayPea]

What's the best site to use to investigate prices and timetables for rail travel in Europe, please?

Looking to find London - Greece later this year.

Thanks a lot.

In my experience, the German railway site is best for timetables

but check out loads of excellant info at

You can also get the updated version of the former Thomas Cook guide to European rail timetables from http://www.europeanrailtimetable.co.uk/

You can plan your journey easily with advice from http://www.seat61.com/

I used an Interrail ticket along time ago when I went travelling. The rail in Europe is brilliant.

As Sddsddean states, Die Bahn offers the best integrated timetable service for the whole of Europe.

However it sometimes can't find fares when the SNCF website can:

That's really helpful. Thank you all so much. Food for thought.

I find this one is good for timetables but not so good for fares.

For fares I used to use raileurope but that seems to have morphed into sncf.
