Description

Do railway ticket sellers charge the same price for the same train? This dataset compares the fares that 12 sellers (national railways and the reseller Omio) show for identical European train connections on 76 routes, checked on the same day. Every day an automated browser searches each seller's website for travel 1, 7, 21 and 42 days ahead and stores the lowest fare shown for 1 adult, 2nd class, without discount card.

Version 2026-10-18: 3114 rows (one per train and seller), checks from 2026-10-13 to 2026-10-18. Semicolon-separated CSV with decimal comma. Only checks at least 7 days old are included.
