This book is excellent for anyone wishing to take a trip by train within Europe. The book contains 50 routes across European countries (for example, Barcelona to Lisbon, Budapest to Istanbul and Berlin to Krakow), and a guide to hub cities across Europe (London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Budapest, Belgrade etc). I have found this route very useful; it explains the scenery of the routes included, the trains you should take and the best places to visit along the way. You should definitely buy this if you're considering making a particular journey in Europe but do not know exactly which trip to do and you are in need of ideas.

This edition is from 2008 so a fair bit of follow up Googling is required but it lays out the basics

Provides brief overview of train routes for travelling in Europe. I did not like this book because it did not provide enough detail. I would only recommend to a very seasoned traveller.
