In this context absolutely worth mentioning is the Public Transport Enabler (https://github.com/schildbach/public-transport-enabler). This is what we used to create this prototype: https://medium.com/@highsource/reliable-train-connections-ap...

Disclaimer: I'm working for the Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) and try do some persuasion work towards Open Data here internally.

It's a good start, but a lot of countries are missing from the list.

(I work at Capitaine Train who published this data)

It is true. This database has not the pretension to have all the stations in Europe. It has all the stations where we can sell tickets to. As we connect to more carriers, the database will expand. But it is a long process.

I'm not working at CapitaineTrain - but user @tristramg who replied below apparently does. You should get both in touch!

I'd be glad if you drop me a message so that we could establish a contact. xing.to/va or valikov-at-gmx.net (Disclaimer: working for the Deutsche Bahn.)

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9426153 - apparently trying to get in touch with CapitaineTrain. Hope this helps.
