'''CORONAVIRUS'''
 
Europe's railways have been significantly affected by the coronavirus epidemic and many governments placed restrictions on travel.  A modified timetable, with fewer trains, has been in operation in many countries. Most international services were temporarily withdrawn.  As at July 2020 something approaching a normal service was operating across much of Europe.  However, the need for 'social distancing' has resulted in restrictions on the number of passengers who can be carried, particularly on long-distance trains.  Seat reservations are increasingly necessary and in most countries it is obligatory to wear a face covering on public transport.  Not all borders have re-opened and some countries impose conditions on international travellers. 
 
'''This website continues to show train services that would normally be operating, but temporary alterations to the regular service remain possible in many countries.'''
 
Information about restrictions on travel to European Union countries can be found at the [https://reopen.europa.eu/en RE-open EU] website.
 
A summary of train service alterations can be found at the [https://www.seat61.com/train-travel-in-europe-coronavirus-update.htm Man in Seat 61] website.
