Editorial policy
Our aim is useful, checkable guidance. We distinguish what an operator states, what an example assumes and what remains uncertain.
Sources and comparisons
For fares, passes and travel conditions, we seek the operator’s or pass issuer’s current terms. We identify the country, operator and product where they matter, attach source links to material claims and state review dates when checks have actually been completed. An inaccessible source or an unresolved difference is a limitation, not a verified answer.
We explain the criteria behind comparisons. A higher class, a faster train or a famous route doesn’t establish a better choice for every traveller. We don’t assign ratings or declare a universal best operator or pass without a stated, supported method.
Experience and illustrative examples
We don’t invent firsthand journeys, station visits, conversations with staff, credentials or reviews. Firsthand reports must identify their actual basis. Illustrative fares, timetables and scenarios are labeled; they aren’t live offers. Generated imagery illustrates a subject and isn’t evidence of a named operator, train, station or experience.
AI assistance and publisher responsibility
AI tools may assist research, organization, drafting and imagery. Their output isn’t proof that a source was read or a claim checked. Accel Media is responsible for published material and corrections.
Tickets, refunds and other professional questions
Guides provide general information, not legal, insurance or financial advice. Before relying on a refund, delay-compensation or pass rule, check the operator’s current conditions for your ticket. We can’t determine whether an individual claim will succeed or whether a fare is still available.
Corrections and updates
To report an error, use Contact and include the page, the disputed statement and a supporting source. We assess corrections against relevant evidence. We update a page’s date when its guidance changes materially, rather than using a new date to imply a new source check.
Commercial relationships
We identify material affiliate, advertising or sponsorship relationships when they apply. A commercial relationship must not be presented as independent testing, and a disclosure doesn’t replace checking a claim.
