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.
- RER and Transilien trains in the Paris region.
- European Sleeper night trains from Paris, which are not in the SNCF timetables we use.
- 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.

A train is direct when you stay on board from the departure station to the arrival station. The number of trains is a daily average over these four weeks, weekends included; the journey time is the fastest one. Timetables change with engineering works and public holidays: always check your train with the operator before you travel. These figures are updated every month.
