Product Description
An essential tool for anyone planning a rail journey through Europe, this map shows all of the train routes in Europe and North Africa, as well as bus routes where there are no trains and major ferry routes. Using our unique, patented pictograms the map gives information on the timing and frequency of trains and trip length for all major destinations. For example, from the map one can see that there is one train every day, and three that run most days, from London to Aberdeen and that the trip takes 10 hours. The departure times are also indicated. The detailed legend is in English, French, German, Swedish and Japanese. Scale 1:4,125,000.

 Rail Map of Europe...not so helpful May 21, 2007

This map did not provide me with th information I needed to plan a rail trip in Europe. It was very general and did not provide any references to obtain specific information on train schedules.
 Rail Map of Europe September 14, 2006

Map is fine unless your going to Eastern Europe, which is completely masked by an inset of Sweden and Finland. Apparently Publisher does not plan to go east anytime soon.
Great for the 2/3 of Europe it shows January 23, 2006

This map shows the routes and relative frequency for trains, ferries and even some bus routes between major and minor destinations in western and southern Europe, including hundreds point-to-point travel times and even what hours those trains usually leave. There are a few cities shown as floating a bit off of the nearest train line even though trains do actually run there (Toledo, Spain and Assisi, Italy for example) and that's a bit confusing, but the map is generally helpful. Their inset close-up map of Switzerland is nice.
There's one big problem: they've dropped an inset map of northern Scandinavia right over the top of northeastern Europe! That's great for the hordes of tourists planning a boat tour of Lapland (?!) but as a result, there's little to no information here about the Czech Republic, Poland, the Baltic states, Ukraine or European Russia. Everything from Hungary/Romania and south is shown, clear to Istanbul and a detailed ferry map for the Greek Islands, and that's nice -- but people like me headed through central Europe to Moscow are out of luck. Other train maps do exist that show the whole continent. (Sorry, can't remember the brand of that one, spotted it in a bookstore this month.)
