About Run2Rail

Run2Rail covers Europe by train - which pass is worth it, which night trains still run, and which connections actually hold. It exists because rail information in Europe is split across two dozen operators who each describe only their own network.

Routes are covered end to end across operator boundaries, which is where the errors live: the connection that looks fine on one operator’s site and is not sold by the other, the pass that covers the train but not the reservation. Journey times and reservation requirements are stated per leg.

Facts come from primary sources. Timetables, reservation rules and pass conditions are checked against the operating railways and the pass issuers, and re-checked at the December and June timetable changes, when large parts of the network move. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Geographic data comes from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap, photographs from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences, and time zone data from the IANA database.

We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so. We do not claim to have tested something we have not: plan details and prices that come from a provider rather than from our own checking are labelled as such. And we do not publish a page to fill a gap in a keyword list.

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say that we did. Email [email protected] with the page and what is inaccurate. Corrections to a specific fact are made on the page, and the update date on the page changes with them.
