The renaissance of the European Rail Timetable (ERT) is good news for rail travellers across the continent. The decision last year by Thomas Cook to scrap the title was a bitter blow. But, thanks to a new company set up by the team that compiled the timetable in Thomas Cook days, the ERT is back.

article summary —

Now, here is some very good news for European travellers. Like Marcel Proust and Zuleika Dobson, we have always appreciated the value of train timetables. So we were more than a little upset when Thomas Cook stopped publishing their European Rail Timetable last summer… and then delighted to hear that the former compilers of the timetable have set up a new company to continue publication of the title.

The first issue under the new arrangements has just been published. As before, a new edition of the timetable will be published at the start of each month.To find out more and buy a copy, go to www.europeanrailtimetable.eu.

As with the former Cook’s timetable, each issue of the new European Rail Timetable includes a ‘Route of the Month’ supplied by hidden europe. In the debut issue, the showcased route covers Table 60 in the book: Berlin to Budapest.
