Online timetables for overnight trains in Europe

Is there one website with schedules for all?

Does anyone know of one website that contains schedule information for all of the various European overnight trains? D Bahn has changed it's web site and now it's difficult to get info on any trains that are not operated by them. I know that other train companies run overnight service to and from Munich, and this would be very helpful in planning a last minute Easter weekend trip.

If you use the DB booking page of Night Trains, it lists trains operated by other rail companies.

Thanks for that but those listings are incomplete. We took a night train to Budapest last year, but that doesn't show up on that list, which means there are likely other cities that don't either.
minga
You are right. But if you search for a connection to Budapest from the main search page of DB, it lists the night train (EN 269) to Budapest. Discount fares start from 29 EUR.
Inessa
Thanks. We were hoping to see a list of possible options from Munich, rather than just having to keep trying cities to see which ones have overnight service. If there is no single website with all night train info, I guess we'll just have to do that.

That Munich-Budapest train can be booked through the normal DB booking pages, with prices from €29.

Sorry, I don't think I'm being clear. I'm not specifically looking to go to Budapest and I know all about how to find DB overnight trains. What I'm looking for is a comprehensive list of night services to and from Munich by all train lines, not just BD. Booking tickets to any destination is easy on the DB site, but it's challenging to find out what cities one can get to overnight on NON DB services without checking each possible European city, which takes ages.

If it's only services from Munich you're looking for, then you can have a look through the departure info from, say, 8pm onwards.
Inessa
That was helpful, thanks STB.

I'm the über train slag. bahn.de is the way to go for timetables.

link for the DB English European train timetable page
Small Town Boy
Yeah, bahn.de have timetables for the whole of Europe. I frequently use it for checking train times in the UK, since it provides more information (e.g. inbetween stations, total journey length) than the antiquated thetrainline.com system, which hasn't been updated since it was launched in 1998.

STB why don't you try http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ for UK trains, I find it quite good & it gives all the info you are looking for.
Small Town Boy
I've used it in the past but gave up because it tries to steer people away from busy stations, even if the alternative is more inconvenient.
MonksTown
Use UK sites for fares, but use DB for timetabling.

Just found what looks like the mother of all European rail sites: lots of links to national train information.

For international train fans, this website may also be of interest.
