Itinerary Planning Publications

Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable - published since 1873, the world-famous red book has timetables for trains, buses and boats in all European countries, ships to North Africa, Israel & the Mediterranean islands. If you're going to travel a lot, for example with an InterRail or Eurail pass, you should buy one of these to plan your journey. It costs around £11 from the bureau de change in any UK branch of Thomas Cook.

The Thomas Cook Rail Map of Europe - comprehensive map of European train routes showing all rail lines from Portugal in the west to Ukraine in the east, from Finland in the north to Sicily in the south. Scenic routes are highlighted. It costs around £7.95 from branches of Thomas Cook. Well worth buying, especially if you are buying an InterRail or Eurail pass.

Travelling to join your International Train

Tickets for travel to London can be purchased at your local station by asking for “London International” and showing your Eurostar or Rail/Sea ticket from London to your continental destination. These tickets are less restrictive than some other types of domestic tickets and afford the holder the uniform rules concerning the Contract for International Carriage of Passengers and Luggage by Rail (CIV).

Manually written TCV tickets are being withdrawn from 30th November 2004.

To help agents find suitable computer systems ATOC has taken a snapshot look at what each system provides – as at 8 November 2004.

Whilst every care has been taken to ensure accuracy at the time of the snapshot ATOC cannot be responsible for any changes made to the systems by the suppliers or for any inaccuracies in the tables

The analysis is given in a series of tables:
