Author Notes: Please be aware that the names of train stations/locations vary depending on which country you are in and are a compromise between leading network schedules Die Bahn, Interrail App and Google Maps. The goal is to ensure that you can easily identify and recognise the location, regardless of where you are from. Due to the massive size of Europe's physical terrain, it would be impractical to create an Atlas scale that would add unnecessary pages and increased printing costs therefore the physical space of Europe has been altered in shape ie most notably Scandinavia, Northern England, South of France and Greece.
European Info Railway Map has been designed primarily as a network planning tool and includes major network lines between all the many top destinations that you might want to include in your plans. Due to size of the network and creating a graphic that actually works as part of a printed Atlas this has been quite a challenge.
The actual physical scale of the Map of Europe has been distorted to fit within the A4 letter pages to enable the easiest visual planning including ports and ferry routes. Certain hub stations are going to feature in your plans more than others for example Wien in Austria and Munchen in the south of Germany, Brussels in Belgium, Madrid/Barcelona in Spain and Oslo in Norway etc. Therefore duplications of Atlas pages include connections north-south/east-west to enable better route planning through these popular hub stations. This does create duplication but it is definitely worth it to enable easy route planning between countries.
