I have 3 travel websites and at each one i have one page for train informations, timetables etc.
www.example.gr/index_trains.htm
www.example2.gr/en/trains
www.example3.gr/prague/index_trains.htm
www.example3.gr/vienna/index_trains.htm
If you look at these pages they have the same design but the informaton and content its different. The problem that i have is that google has block the prague trains page and not appeared in results ( or maybe appeared in last position ) the other pages rank very good in google, i think the problem is that google has block the page because think that has duplicate content with the other pages..
What can i do? any suggestion is highly reccomended...
P.S Firstly i had created the krakow and bratislava pages then the prague train page and last the vienna

If there is no duplicate content then how do you draw the conclusion that Google thinks there is? Has the page/site been ripped? That is, has somebody else taken your content? Should be easy to find it if so. Maybe there is some factor unrelated to the content that is hindering the ranking. Frankly, if you have any travel website that ranks well for your purposes, you should be pretty happy; a tough nut to crack I hear.
It sounds like something else is going on with the site or page. How specific or long-tailed are your targeted keywords? You might simply be in a much more highly competitive environment than you think with the problem site. How new is the site? How extensive beyond the 'schedules'?
Then in Prague trains i have
Prague - Vienna 23.58, 01.45 etc
Prague Krakow 15.23, 22.58 etc
At the top and the end of each page i have a small paragrpah with exactly same sentenses like ( Please note we are not responsible for any train delay ... )
The page that i have the problem has not removed from google index but is in really bad position, the competion in general is not too much and definetely this page should be on top, i have test it also in local google ( google.gr ) and i get the same results, in google.gr its possible the only website about trains in other cities and it should be first ( like it is Krakow trains, Vienna trains, Bratislava trains )
From yestarday i took an action..i convert all my text information about Prague trains into a picture to see what changes i will get in google
