What this page does not count
- For France, our data currently only covers SNCF trains (TGV INOUI, OUIGO, Intercités, TER, Lyria, SNCF international trains), without Trenitalia France or Renfe in France. Some direct trains may therefore be missing.
- ZOU! Intermétropoles regional trains Marseille–Toulon–Nice run by Transdev: their timetables are not yet in our data, which explains the low number of trains shown to Toulon and Nice.
- Abroad, only trains published in our sources are shown: some international trains may be missing.
- Coaches are not counted, even when sold by rail companies.
