UK Trains

UK to Ireland
SailRail offers great value rail and ferry packages between a wide range of destinations - a competitive and relaxing alternative to flying.

European Trains
The best place to book trains in Europe, including snow trains and Eurostar is with Rail Europe. Tip: If they can't find your journey, try the Deutsche Bahn website (below) to reveal the route and the changeovers needed, then you can book each leg of the route separately.

The Deutsche Bahn site is an amazingly precise tool with train times to every station in Europe. Think of the most tortured route you can, and it will calmly and neatly display all your connections to even the smallest of unmanned stations anywhere in Europe. It is just a shame you can't make many bookings through it - use the Rail Europe engine above to book each leg individually.

Inter Rail
Grab your European Inter Rail pass here - allowing for joined up, hassle free and great value train travel across Europe:

We highly recommend the Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable. This book is the most widely used for those needing the entire European network at their fingertips.

Snow Trains
Snow Carbon is the best place to find snow train schedules and train routes to ski resorts in Europe.
