Does anyone knows any Train-table-api service?

Hi guys, im wondering if there is any online service who provide API about the train timetables (arrivals, departure, etch..), at least for the european stations.

I know www.bahn.de, who provide the accurated timetables for many european countries, but i didin't find any similar to a api service.

My goal (well, just a future-project) is to develope an application like gmaps, but instead of giving the car-trip i would like to give the train-trip.. you know, the user set the departure day, time and station, then the first arrival, maybe then add another one, and so on.

So, there is something like, that can be queryed by php/python/javascript?

Edit: if can help, im wondering to build a service to plan an inter-rail trip! (and any help will be really appreciate)

wouldn't you duplicate the functionality of bahn.de? they have the exact route planner you describe. – micha2305 May 28 at 13:32

Yes.. well, i dont want to reinvent the wheel, but what i'm trying to figure out is an web application chained to gmaps, panoramio and wikimage, where people would be able to build-edit-then share with friends they'rs trip's... i cant redirect to bahn.de for paln the trip, then get back for the locations, suggested places, etc.. ;) – DaNieL May 28 at 14:00

Something in a common format like Google Transit Feed?, there are some US based ones, as well as one I found for London.

Yes, something like GTF but worldwide -or at least- to the europe... Well, seem like google is 'waiting' that the public agency give he the data, so should be just a matter of time. – DaNieL May 28 at 7:58
