User Friendly Rail Site

[Matheous-2]

Can anyone suggest a user friendly Rail Travel website. I tried Trainline,without success....
We are trying to plan a rail journey, with the least amount of changes from London to Florence possibly in April or August 2014

have a look at this
http://www.seat61.com/Italy.htm#London to Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples
which includes timetable details of all the various route options, and how to book tickets online.

www.bahn.de is a great site. It's the German railways site, but you can use if for journeys anywhere in Europe, and you can use the site in English as well as German.

As Koster indicates, the German rail company, Deutsche Bahn, operates a website which brings together all of Europe's rail timetables:
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?newrequest=yes&protocol=http:&

The travel trade either use that website or the one operated by the French rail operator, SNCF:
http://uk.voyages-sncf.com/en/
