LIST: INTERNATIONAL RAIL TICKETING OFFICES IN THE UK

Notes
- Almost everything you're likely to want to know about travelling on Europe's rail network can be found on Mark Smith's extraordinarily readable Seat61 website.
- A German company, Hacon, supplies the timetable software (HAFAS) that drives many of the European rail companies' websites, and which itself is useful for planning pan-European rail journeys.
