European ticket booking sites, any recommendations?

[UBoot]

Does anyone have good/bad experiences with ticket booking sites such as Raileurope, Trainline or Omio?
I'm not asking about your experience of sites for individual countries,
just when one needs a cross border journey.

RE seems fine, no idea what the booking fee is compared with others.

However, in general I would try the national operators (worth checking both "ends" as the offers may not be identical). I can't off-hand think of a case where this wouldn't work (Seat61 would tell me!).

I would start by checking www.seat61.com

The best ticket booking site depends on the route that you want to use, whether you want to pick a seat for a reservation, how you want to pay, and whether there is an extra fee on top of the price of the tickets.
