We have the crappiest rail system in Western Europe.  Other countries are 
much easier to find out train and fare information.  Especially Belgium, 
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany, Switzerland.  Other countries 
have better rail systems but online facilities no better than ours, such as 
Italy.  France can be difficult with online bookings.   Why an earth you 
want to come to UK to travel by train is beyond me.
