Most-booked routes

Indicative one-way fares per adult, checked 22 August 2026. The live price is whatever our booking partner shows when you search.

Affiliate disclosure. We earn a commission when you book through our booking partner. You pay the same fare either way — we add nothing to it. How this works.

Built for people who actually take the train

Not a flight aggregator with a rail tab bolted on. We do one job: help you find the right train, then hand you to a partner who can sell you the ticket.

Three regions, one search

The UK, continental Europe and Asia in a single box — from a Tokyo bullet train to a Milan sleeper.

Real fares, not estimates

Every price on this page was read from our partner's live system, and your search opens their real results.

We never touch your money

You pay the operator's own agent, on their secure checkout. No card details are entered on this site.

Straight about coverage

If we cannot search a country, we say so rather than showing you a lookalike station in the wrong one.

Ways people save on rail

Discounts offered by the operators themselves. Availability and terms are set by each operator and shown at checkout.

Groups

Group fares

Many operators discount parties travelling together. Search your route to see what applies.

 Passes

Rail passes

Multi-day and multi-country passes can beat point-to-point fares on longer trips.

 Everyday

Railcards & concessions

Student, senior and youth discounts exist on most networks — apply yours at checkout.

Guides to the routes we search

How long each journey really takes, which of a city’s stations you actually want, who runs the train, and when tickets go on sale so you pay less. Written by us, not lifted from an operator’s website.

Country guide Train travel in the UK Advance, Off-Peak and Anytime explained, the twelve-week booking window, railcards, split ticketing, and which London terminus you need. Country guide Train travel in Europe Where a seat reservation is compulsory and where it is optional, how the low-cost operators changed the price, and whether a rail pass pays. Country guide Train travel in Asia The Shinkansen and the rail-pass trap, China’s fifteen-day booking window and passport rule, plus Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Route London to Manchester Just over two hours at best — but plenty of services take forty minutes longer for the same journey. Route Madrid to Barcelona Three operators now run the same line and fares have fallen sharply. Knowing the difference is worth real money. Route Tokyo to Kyoto Why the fastest Shinkansen is the one your rail pass does not cover, and which side to sit for Mount Fuji.

Three steps, and we are upfront about the third.

No account needed to search. We are a search site, not the ticket seller.

2 · We hand you over

Your search opens on our booking partner's site, already filled in with your route and date.

3 · You book with them

Payment, ticket and any changes are handled by them. We earn a commission; your fare is not marked up.

Questions, answered

Which countries can I search?+
19 countries. In Europe and the UK: the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Czechia, Poland, Sweden and Ireland. In Asia: China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
Can I search trains in the United States or Canada?+
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Our booking partner does not sell tickets for rail in the United States or Canada, so North American rail is not covered. For those journeys, book with the operator directly.
Who actually sells me the ticket?+
Our booking partner does. RailReserve is a search and comparison site: we help you find the train, then pass you to their secure checkout. Your contract for the journey is with them and the rail operator — not with us. See our Terms.
Do you add a booking fee?+
No. We do not handle payment at all, so there is nothing for us to add. We are paid a commission by our booking partner when someone books after using our links, at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
What if my train is delayed or cancelled?+
Contact the company you bought the ticket from — our booking partner, or the operator running the train. They hold your booking and control refunds and rebooking under their conditions of carriage. We cannot change or refund a ticket we did not sell.
Are the prices on this page live?+
No. The fares shown on the route cards were read from our partner's system and are indicative — rail pricing moves constantly. The price that counts is the one on the results page when you search.

Your next trip is one search away.

Free to search, no account needed, and we add nothing to the fare.
