Between other cities

Trains from the 12306 timetable for 2026-10-28 or 2026-11-11, flights from the airlines' schedules for 2026-10-28, drives routed on OpenStreetMap. The same tables drive the trip planner on the map, so a plan says what these pages say. Rail times are open data under the Open Database License on the data page.
