Trains abroad
Every instinct built on Indian Railways — book 60 days out, file a TDR when the train is late — stops working the moment you leave the network. These tools cover the rules that replace them in the United States, Europe and Australia.
See what a delayed train owes you in the EU, the UK, Switzerland, the US or Australia — the percentage, the amount and the deadline.
Open toolWhen tickets go on sale for Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Eurostar, SNCF, Trenitalia, NSW TrainLink and more.

India's booking window, shorter than almost every operator here. That gap is what these tools exist to close.
The rest of Railmonk is about one railway with one rulebook. Abroad there is no such thing: the booking window is set by each operator rather than by the country, and a delayed train is worth a fixed percentage of your fare in Europe, a goodwill voucher in the United States, and — outside Victoria — very little in Australia. Mixing those into the Indian tools would have made both harder to trust, so they live here, with their sources and review dates attached the same way.
What these pages will never do is quote you a live fare or a seat count. That needs a licensed feed from each operator, which we do not have and would not pretend to. They answer the questions that turn on rules and dates, which are the ones that are genuinely hard to look up: when the window opens, and what a delay is worth.
