I've found Mark Smith, a.k.a. 'The Man in Seat 61'[1], to be a very reliable travel blogger/vlogger. His information on railways across Europe is up-to-date, detailed and stays away from such melodramatic exaggeration as you describe. It's usually easier to get the timetables from his site than it is from the travel company! I'm not affiliated with him in any way; I post it here just as a reminder that honest travel journalism still exists if you know where to find it. [1]: https://www.seat61.com https://www.seat61.com
