Rail travel, built for the world.
We build independent platforms for people who cross continents by train — routes, places along the line, and the knowledge to use them.
Three things, done slowly and properly.
No apps for their own sake. Structured information, built to last longer than a funding round.
Routes & connections
Working out train routes across borders, gauges and timetables — including the long ones nobody else bothers to calculate.
Places along the line
Structured information about stations worldwide and what sits within walking distance of the platform.
Publishing & know-how
Multilingual rail travel content, built on decades of independent, hands-on experience.
Four platforms, one railway.
rail.world
In developmentWorldwide train routing. Lisbon to Helsinki, Stockholm to Palermo, Hamburg to Ulaanbaatar — long-distance journeys worked out end to end, not just city pairs.
railnest.net
Stations worldwide with places to stay within a five-minute walk. Plus day rooms, co-working and somewhere decent to wait out a long layover.
nachtzug.net
Night train routes across Europe, with practical guidance for travelling overnight.
kupe.social
In developmentTravel companions matched by route rather than proximity. Journeys that run parallel for a stretch — the same leg, the same connection, the same three weeks up north.
