thomas cook timetable
 

I've been reading various posts on thomas cook timetable...one of mine, in fact, and I thank you all very much for all your help....but, I'm wondering if someone knows of a place in Atlanta, GA where I can get a thomas cook timetable...I would like to be able to work with that level of detail....i'm leaving pretty soon....don't have time to order one off the web....

Hi Zil,

I use the one at my county library. Any major library would have a copy.

or you can get one through Forsyth Travel Library..but that's a subsiciary of that hated Raileurope...the only problem with the library copy MAY be that the library'sd copy is out of date..the timetable is published monthly..summer schedules usually take effect in the June-July timeframe.
You can use the GermanRail on-line website which is even MORE comprehensive that the Cook timetable.

I agree fully with Bootman. To run down to the library to look up a train schedule makes no sense when more info is available on your computer. That being said I do own a copy (2 years old) that I use for dreaming and initial planning, but I always go to the German Railway site (bahn.de) for all up-to-date info throughout Europe. It also provides a list of hotels near the train station, tram lines, and maps to your hotel.

The German rail web site shows one train a day from Belgrade to Skopje. There are four. It shows correctly the though train from Belgrade to Bucharest Nord, but adds two strange journeys via Sofia.
From Riga to Vilnius it shows for Saturday 7 June a direct train that runs on 6 and 8 June, but not 7 June, and a connecting train from Rezekhne that also runs the day before and after that asked for. It omits a through train that runs every fourth day, including 8 June.

To look up one train the web sites suffice in most of Europe. But to plan a whole journey the web sites are painfully slow. Nor can you easily check by laptop on a journey while in a hotel bedroom or a couchette car, as you can if you carry the book.
