I am trying to plan a family rail trip across Europe for the summer of 2027 but can’t access the train schedules yet (understandably). When do you think they will be ready?
Thanks

I usually use Excel for keeping track of my plans. DB, the Germany Railways, is a good place to find timetables for many countries.
October/November 2026.
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.
You are way too early!
It's enough to start plannings by the end of next year, if you want to use a Eurail pass, you could even decide later what to do.
You can start planning now if you like. Even if the train schedules won't be fixed for another year, you can make a rough plan based on the timetable for this year.

It’s never too early to start planning.
I too use a spreadsheet for planning. You can start by downloading a copy of the Interrail map and determining where you’d like to visit. Current timetables will at least give you an idea of how long the journeys will take.
And then you get be excited. :-)
