For your mainland Europe travel (not Ireland or the UK) I would recommend using Omio for booking your train & bus travel.
Rather than scratching your head trying to figure out the travel sites in France or Spain, using Omio will allow you the convenience to compare the various routes you can take across different providers.
Also if you are a student you can enjoy a 5% discount on your bookings.
