Rail links

I’ve put together the links for the national rail company websites. The links are to the English pages where I could find a link that worked. You may get switched to local language pages (or need to go to pages in the local language) to buy tickets, etc.
Austria: http://www.oebb.at/e…
Belgium: http://www.b-rail.be…
Bulgaria: http://bdz.creato.bi…
Croatia: http://www.hznet.hr/… If you have a problem, use http://www.hznet.hr/… and click on “English” at the bottom of the page
Czech Republic: http://www.cd.cz/ Schedule information available in English at: http://jizdnirady.id…
Denmark: http://www.dsb.dk/cs…
Finland: http://www.vr.fi/eng…
France: http://www.sncf.com/… Looks like you have to do this in French to find standard pricing or to buy the ticket from SNCF. Clicking on English sends you to raileurope.com with global fares.
Germany: http://reiseauskunft…
Greece: http://www.ose.gr is the link, but I can’t get it to load
Hungary: http://www.mav-start…
Ireland: http://www.irishrail… Use http://www.nirailway… for Northern Ireland
Italy: http://www.ferrovied…
Luxembourg: http://www.cfl.lu/CF… English page not available????
Montenegro: http://www.zeljeznic… This link doesn’t work, probably because of the “yu” but it doesn’t work with “me” either.
Netherlands: http://www.ns.nl/cs/…
Norway: http://www.nsb.no/ho…
Poland: http://www.pkp.pl/ basic info in English by clicking on British flag
Portugal: http://www.cp.pt/cp/…
Romania: http://www.cfr.ro/ English schedules at: http://www.mersultre…

Very useful. Thanks for posting this.
We owe you a big collective thanks for compiling that list, oldlady.
Everywhere, when looking for night trains, try to look for a SparNight special offer.
If you have any questions about Prague or Czech and Slovak republics, ask me.
If you only want to search train or bus connection within Czech&Slovakia and/or to neighboring countries, use www.cp.sk or www.idos.cz search engines. For domestic transport, they also show prices.
Are those SparNight specials only for trains that go through Germany, or is it the German term for specials that can be had on many other night trains as well?
It’s more likely a general term (deriving from German Spar=Save and English Night). For example, the Prague-Kosice leg between Czechia and Slovakia offers SparNight couchettes for €17 in a 6-berth and €19 in a 4-berth. So there are SparNights outside the German speaking area and there are also SparNights under €29.
If you have any questions about Prague or Czech and Slovak republics, ask me.
If you only want to search train or bus connection within Czech&Slovakia and/or to neighboring countries, use www.cp.sk or www.idos.cz search engines. For domestic transport, they also show prices.
I added this to our Tips section here.

Also for general routes around Europe use rail europe.

In the UK national rail and virgin are good but you could also use trainline as it covers most routes and shows the cheapest tickets.
