This is one of my favorite sites - I came to know about during my first trip to Europe and used it the next time to get information on even which side of the train to get the seats on for better view and a table. I am so glad it has retained its look and not become like every site on the internet that require a GPU to load.

Same here. Travelling to Europe for the first time from South America and it's been a godsend. Naively thought that train travelling was simpler than it really is (which is completely understandable that's why I say I was being naive). Eurail community posters pointed me to that webpage and didn't need anything else.

Love the simple design too, a godsend nowadays.

I often say that train and transit travel often seems to assume that you're a local who knows what they're doing rather than a potentially first-time visitor who doesn't speak the language.

Most transit systems (and leaking into trains) are oriented toward commuters, because that's the vast majority of the ridership.

The most common "concession" to visitors is often a (slightly overpriced) day or week pass that lets you ride anything anytime.

Oh, I understand the reason.

At least with transit, just tapping a credit card is becoming more common which generally reduces the need to dig into how payment works.

Basically, the reason that it’s not simple is that every country has its own rail operator.

Or more!
