For the last couple of days, I cannot reach the schedule and ticket purchasing part of the SNCF web site. I can get to the main page; I can even get to the English overlay.<BR>But beyond that I can see nothing. No response at all.<BR><BR>Has anyone else had similar difficulties?<BR><BR>

Hi Bob - I just tried it, got all the way up to booking a ticket (but I'm not planning a trip now)! I had a similar problem, though, with sncf a year or so ago - it lasted for a couple of weeks - don't know what the problem was - maybe you can try clearing out your cookies???

Yes, I've been trying to check on schedules for friends of mine, and cannot get the reservations/schedule page to load properly - it's just blank.

Try www.Raileurope.com I beleive you can get times and prices for any travel in Europe by clicking on Fares and schedules and inserting citys.<BR><BR>I THINK!!

sorry, but for most routes in Europe, Rail Europe is useless. As far as buying tickets is concerned, no dice. I am not about to pay RE prices when I can get it some 50% or more cheaper by going to the source.<BR><BR>I can get schedules for most of Western Europe through national sites, such as the German Die Bahn site, which is nearly comprehensive for Europe west of Poland-Slovakia-Czech Republic. <BR>But

sorry, but for most routes in Europe, Rail Europe is useless; it simply does not have the detailed information. As far as buying tickets is concerned, no dice. I am not about to pay RE prices when I can get it some 50% or more cheaper by going to the source.<BR><BR>I can get schedules for most of Western Europe through national sites, such as the German Die Bahn site, which is nearly comprehensive for Europe west of Poland-Slovakia-Czech Republic. I can usually find out what I want to know schedule wise.<BR><BR>But I cannot get international ticket prices. <BR>For trips that originate in France, and the train remains &quot;French&quot; I can usually find the price. (e.g. Paris to Z&uuml;rich.)
