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, thought through to the end.
Structured information rather than apps for their own sake — 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
Accommodation worldwide, five minutes' walk from the platform. For the night, for the day, with workspaces by the hour and places that turn waiting time into time gained.
nachtzug.net
Night train routes across Europe — which ones run, how they connect, and what matters when booking.
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.
Railworld AB
An independent company based in Sweden. The work began in 1996 — first in Germany, later in Cyprus, today as Railworld AB in Sweden. The subject has not changed since: content, structured travel information and digital tools around a single idea — that the world is reachable by train.
Let's talk.
