There’s at least some single ticketing in Europe - we bought a ticket from the UK to the south of Germany this summer & it was a single ticket changing in Brussels and Frankfurt, with automatic carry over for missed connections caused by train delays.

DB is quite good at these through tickets to and from Germany, though it seems to be underutilised. A few months ago I booked a through ticket, with missed connections protected, from London to Berlin (Eurostar + Thalys + DB ICE) for €70, the day before departure.

At the DB counter or online? The website never shows prices for me. The DB assistants couldn't tell me why -- yet, within the next month, the booking will be available online /only/ :-)

I've only ever booked online. It always shows prices for me...
