Hello! There were a lot of updates since the last time I posted here - if you head to www.chronotrains.com you will notice that we're getting closer to our goal of being Google Flights for trains in Europe!
You can now explore destinations from any city with better accuracy on timings, filter on direct trains or night trains, with a brand new Night Train Euope Map.
The site has been redesigned as well. As a bonus, you can click the Explore tab to see an animation of reachable stations in 1-12h.
Hope you like it!
Hi ! Benjamin here, maker of Chronotrains. Thanks Ian for the feature.
I've since been working on some updates to the tool, trying to turn it into a destination discovery helper for train travelers in Europe.
It is now possible to explore destinations up to 8 hours away, see origin/destination trips, get suggestions, and many other UI improvements. Next I'll be focusing on gathering prices and ticket information to make it easier to plan a trip end to end.
Is there anything else you'd like to see on Chronotrains? Let me know here or shoot me an email at ben@chronotrains.com :)
Well done on the updates, this is a fantastic tool for slow travel in Europe!
Are there any interesting trends you’re seeing in user search behavior?
This is a great little website I came across, that allows you to explore how far you can travel in Europe from any major train station, within 5 hours.
Check the website for more details about the project: chronotrains-eu.vercel.app
Love this, travelling from London to Rome via train in the fall!
what tool is creating heat maps like this one? is this tool separable?
That's a question for the author of the app, I'd get in touch with him via Twitter: twitter.com/_benjamintd
