Train timetables
The free timetable booklet that comes with your Eurail pass is adequate if you are planning primarily to go to major cities. For those not buying a pass, you can still get a timetable for free or for a nominal charge from any travel agent that sells rail passes. Don’t ignore the printed information in this booklet, because some of it is very useful. These tables are quite flimsy, so replacing them when you’re in a train station that has a Eurail Aid office is a good idea. Also be advised that this booklet does not list all the trains that are available to you. If you’re desperate to leave a city or to get to a destination, go to the station and ask, even if you don’t see a train listed. A good rail clerk can find ways of getting you places that aren’t listed in this timetable.
The Thomas Cook Railroad Timetable, which gives information on seemingly every object that moves on any rail track in Europe, is of questionable value considering its weight and price (USD 33). However, if you are going in a group of two or more, you might get one for the group. Also, if you are planning to visit small towns and villages, you might want to invest in one. It certainly has tons of information; just make sure you need it all before buying it.
