Hi!

I\'m planning my Interrail trip which I will start mid April 2017. I am already looking at traveling times, preferably as accurate as possible. I understand not all railway companies have their rail schedule (in its entirety) published yet, but if I can get accurate as possible information that would be great.
I\'ve checked multiple sources:
the one that was handmade (correct me if mistaken) here on the website: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-train-route[/u]
Interrail/Eurail\'s planner: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail/app[/ux]
DB\'s planner, also featured here: [ux]https://plan.rail.cc[/ux]
and one other I can\'t seem to find in my history... Hmm...

There seems to be zero to none correspondence between these sources and Eurail\'s planner seems to be incomplete.

I hoped that maybe anyone else knows what the most trustworthy source to date is for 2017.
Thank you in advance :)

Hey!

Regarding the handmade schedules on the site, we give you all data you need to plan the trip from A to B.
In general, our rail planner [ux]http://plan.rail.cc[/ux], the Rail Planner App (Interrail/Eurail schedule) as well as the schedule planners of SNCB [ux]https://rail.shop/bene[/ux] and ÖBB [ux]https://rail.shop/scotty[/ux] all use the same database: HAFAS - this database includes most European connections, however it depends on each country\'s railway company to supply the updated data in time.

If you want to plan your journey in every detail now, I recommend to look at the websites of the individual railway companies. I can point you to the right direction if you tell me about your planned route.

Hey!

From what I\'ve seen during the past days, these routes should all be in HAFAS, but I have also noticed a few inconsistencies. However, I havent seen really big mistakes (like a train missing or showing up but not running etc).
Timetables for Sweden including trains to Oslo: [ux]https://rail.shop/resrobot[/ux]
Timetables for Poland: [ux]https://rail.shop/rozkladpkp[/ux]
Timetables for Romania: [ux]http://rail.shop/cfr[/ux]
Timetables for Spain including night trains to Portugal: [ux]https://rail.shop/renfe[/ux]
Timetables for France: [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux]

You will find timetables for all these countries included in all HAFAS schedule planners as well however it makes sense to double check timings.
How are you going to travel from Krakow to Bucharest? Via Budapest?
Also, Milan to Madrid is going to be quite a long journey - how do you go about here?
