Today's Railways Europe is an English-based monthly magazine covering rail transport in Europe. It was founded by Platform 5 in July 1994. Initially published bimonthly, from August 1997 it was published monthly.[1] It also covered rail transport in Great Britain, and was named simply Today's Railways, until a sister publication Entrain (later Today's Railways UK) was launched in 2002, and from then on Today's Railways Europe concentrated on rail transport in Continental Europe.[2][3][4] Production of the magazine as of 3 April 2020 was suspended due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Production resumed with the July 2020 issue.[5][6]

The magazine was edited by Peter Fox until his death in 2011. Fox wrote the monthly "Grumpy Old Man" column.[7] The present editor is Keith Barrow.[8]
