Overview

The European Rail Timetable contains the latest timetables for rail services across much of Europe, offering a uniquely concise and expertly compressed overview of the continent’s most important routes and services. Featuring the well-received improved layout that was introduced in the previous edition, travellers can review the pattern of train services on key routes at a glance – something that is so hard to discern from many online journey planners or rail travel apps. Major changes featured in this edition include new international routes such as those operated by Leo Express and Regiojet between Prague and Warsaw, Snälltåget between Malmo and Oslo, and European Sleeper between Brussels and Milan. German Railways are also introducing additional high-speed services between Cologne and Ostend via Brussels and between Cologne and Antwerp via Brussels Airport. We include train services run not just by national operators but also those offered by a new generation of independent rail carriers, such as RegioJet, Italo, Westbahn and Flixtrain.  Most timetables in this edition are valid for the remainder of the current timetable period, until December 12, 2026.  Ideal for travellers planning rail trips, railway professionals, or for those simply curious about the current European railway scene, this Summer 2026 edition of the European Rail Timetable delivers clear, up-to-date rail schedules across Europe in tabular formats designed for ease of use.
