Hi! I’m planning on traveling in May 2025, and I have two questions.

Firstly, there is going to be a timetable change on May 17th. When will the new timetables be released in the app?

Secondly, I’ve understood that the interrail planner app isn’t always updated when it comes to changes in departures. Does anybody know the go to sites for looking up live up to date departure times in respectively Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and the UK? And does anyone have experience with whether or not Google maps has live updates?

I'm not sure which timetables will change. 17/5 is not one of the agreed timetable change dates.

Timetables will be made available in the rail planner app whenever the railway companies make them available.

Portugal: CP has an app that sometimes give realtime info, but I find the Train Status PT app more reliable.

Spain: Renfe app, or Adif app.

France: SNCF Connect app or www.sncf-connect.com

Switzerland: SBB Mobile app or www.sbb.ch

UK: www.realtimetrains.co.uk. Not sure there's a recommendable app.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
