Well, the European Commission has announced the intention to put forward a legislative proposal to make this kind of thing possible. It’s especially important that your passenger rights get covered should a train be delayed and have you miss a connection in another country.
It’s called multimodal digital mobility services, or #MDMS (which sounds like some kind of drug lol) and is about connecting more than just #trains.

With #Timmermans gone, the Dutch consumer association fears for the @[email protected]'s plan which should make it easier to find and book international (European) train trips. This could make such a big difference for the competitiveness of the train sector!

Druk moet worden opgevoerd voor makkelijker internationaal treinreizen

Het kabinet moet druk uitoefenen op Europa om het voor consumenten makkelijker te maken om internationale treinreizen te zoeken en boeken. Die oproep doen de ANVR, de Consumentenbond en reizigersvereniging Rover aan de staatssecretaris van infrastructuur.

#Viajar en #tren por #Europa puede ser una pesadilla. En las vacaciones de este año queríamos reducir nuestra #HuellaDeCarbono viajando en tren (en lugar de hacerlo en otros medios de #transporte más contaminantes). La idea era utilizar trenes nocturnos e #Interrail para viajar. Pero desde Galicia tendría que recorrer cientos de kilómetros en un tren poco eficiente, y Francia no tiene muchos trenes nocturnos. Y comprar #billetes y comprobar #horarios era una pesadilla. Así que esta vez decidimos viajar en coche y no muy lejos.

#Travelling by #train in #Europe can be a nightmare. On this year's holidays we wanted to reduce our #CarbonFootprint by travelling by train (instead of travelling by other more polluting means of #transport). The idea was to use night trains and #Interrail to travel. But from Galicia I would have to travel hundreds of kilometres on an inefficient train, and France does not have many night trains. And buying #tickets and checking #timetables was a nightmare. So this time we decided to travel by car and not too far.

As the EU prepares to table legislation to simplify booking long-distance journeysc, a fierce debate has broken out between rail companies and independent ticketing platforms over the provision of data.

Both sides are aiming to influence the European Commission's mobility services (MDMS) initiative.

Under the regulation, travellers can view a range of travel options to reach their destination, from flights to bus journeys to cross-border rail.
