Me and my Mum are flying to Oslo on Wednesday 10th May and trying to sort the best train journeys out for the 5 days. Flying back out of Oslo to UK on Monday 15th May in the evening…We are on the Interrail site (going around and around) trying to work out the best journeys starting from the Thursday 11th May from Oslo and then back to Oslo maybe morning of the 15th May…We need to book hotels etc so have to sort the train journeys out first and are not sure which way round so we can see everything.So Maybe Oslo to TrondheimTrondheim to Andalenes Andalenes to Flam maybethen back to OsloNot sure this is possible any suggestions please so she can see the main tourist sites in the time we have and I can look at where we can stop the night.ANY HELP PLEASE!Sam 

Manually added journeys are sometimes not shown on the rail planner app, Google maps or ViaMichelin doesn't draw rail itineraries: Does anybody know about an app where I can draw my finished journey in order to screen-copy it e.g. in  foto book? I couldn't find unfortunately.

Hi guysThe night train i’m looking at shows as N/A, does this mean sold out or as in the train is not available to book yet? Also, in general if interrail says it’s not available to book a ticket until 2 months in advance, is this correct? As some tickets i’ve looked at on OBB have also showed up as services not available or just with no option to buy a ticket for it?Thanks :)

Je cherche des idées de trajets en Europe pour 2 ou 3 semaines. Est, Balkans, nord, Irlande....Pourriez-vous me partager vos expériences?

My family and I just had a horrible night on a nightjet from Amsterdam to Zurich. At 4am we were awoken to the fire alarm and smoke in the sleeper coming from right under our roomEvacuated to normal seats in our bedclothes. Not the best nights sleep I have ever had! Anyone else ever experienced something similar? It was pretty terrifying. 

Does one get reductions on buses between Seville and Faro with an interrail pass?

I want to travel from Meran to Mels. I could not find in the web pages of interrail whether the Vinschgau Bahn (Ferrovia della Val Venosta) is included or excluded in the Global Pass.Thanks for helping... 

Hi guysA few questions,Copenhagen to Berlin shows up on the website as needing a seat reservation for the first leg---i went to book one on the website and it said not available just before paying, so i went onto DBS and CD which both said that a reservation was not needed for the train-----that the train company on the first leg of the journey did not sell them for this trip? So am i right in assuming that i wont need a reservation for the train?I am currently struggling to find the cheapest way to get from Milan to Barcelona (i know, a long trip!) (as there is a train that is not included by the pass for the first leg but the remainder of the trip is covered by the pass/reservations=altogether 77 euros), and then Barcelona to Lisbon (with Barcelona to Lisbon proving extremely difficult)----so any help would be appreciated :) Many thanks!!

Hello everyone,So I’m planning a trip to the UK & Ireland with a friend between mid-August and mid-September (around 9th August - 8th September). I have a 2-month continuous pass and her a one-month pass. She prefers cities while I like both cities and nature. We have a rough itinerary but open to changes. Any advice for places to stay or scenic railways ? DAY 1 : Switzerland - Paris - London → TGV from Frasne (10€) and Eurostar (30€) London (3 nights) : we’ve already been but there are some exhibitions on our list York (1 night) Edinburgh (3 nights) : day trip to St. Andrews worth it ? Inverness (1 night) or 4 nights in Edinburgh and a long travel day to Kyle of Lochalsh (nothing against that) Kyle of Lochalsh Railway Portree (Isle of Skye) (1 night) : we’ll go back one day to explore more of that area (and other islands) by car. The main goals are the incredible railways in that area. Bus to Armadale (must be on a Friday, I checked with the tourist office), ferry to Mallaig and l

Hello all!  I'll be traveling to Hungary in September and I'm wondering about train travel between Budapest and Timisoara.  Are there lines that run between the two that Eurail passes are good for?  Times of day?  ~Thanks so much for any advice given!

Hello everybody!Its my first time posting in this forum and I’m not exactly sure id this is the right place for this stuff, but I’ll give it a try.I’m currently on a journey throughout france, and besides france probably being the worst country when you have no drivers license and are tied to trains, I’m enjoying my route so far.I’ll be in Betragne with stops in Saint Brieuc, Dinan & Saint-Malo from april 8 to april 17, and was wondering if there’s anyone who happens to be in the region too these days and might want to meet up for a coffee or anything?Its my fourth time traveling with Interrail, but until now I’ve always been alone everywhere I go and I might want to change that.Feel free to hit me up!Best wishes to all,Joan

I need help buying a train pass but I am not sure if it will be worth buying the Global Pass or buying the individual tickets for each destination. I am landing in London Heathrow Airport on April 28th from USA. I am planning to buy the Europe Global Pass to get from the airport to London’s City Center. Would the pass work for this and do we have to book in advance or is 1 day before fine? Would this pass work for travel within London as we are not planning to get a rental car or use taxis as I heard they are expensive and traffic.On April 30th, we are planning to go from London to Paris then on May 2nd we are planning to go from Paris to Zurich. On May 4th, we plan to go from Zurich to Amsterdam and on May 5th return to London from Amsterdam as our flight back to USA is from London on May 6th. Would this be the best order of travel considering total time to travel between destinations, we are trying to minimize our travel time on the train.Which train pass would be budget friendly for

As an Inter-rail newbie I’m not clear exactly which stations are included in the pass, both in the UK and on the continent and wondered if it’s possible to check prior to purchasing to avoid additional costs later on? The online map only shows the main locations but we’d like to confirm whether other sections of our anticipated trip are included before purchasing the passes!  Specifically Reading to London and Marseille to Toulon. Would be grateful for your help.

Or are the trips not yet scheduled?I’m interested in the ‘normal’ ferries. And not the fast & expensive ones.As we would want to takt this ferry with the Greek ferry pass.Thanks,Laurie

Hi there,I’m taking this trip in july (see previous question) I talked about it to my friends and some are worried that I’m going to spend too much time on the trains, especially in comparison with the time I get to spend ‘not traveling’. I have done several long train journeys, but never that many in 1 trip. Is it too much on the train, moving around to really enjoy the trip?Any thoughts from experienced train-travellers?   

I’m travelling from hamburg to copenhagen and i have to transfer in Odense and go to Slagelse. It is written on the app ‘train’ but also ‘BUS6140’ near it. So do i take the bus or the train? 

I have a question regarding a night train. I would like to start from Germany with the Global Pass.  My first destination is Prague. From there I would like to take the night train to Zurich. There are two options for this: The EN50466 of the CD via Austria or the EN40458 (Nightjet) of the ÖBB via Germany. Can I travel through Germany with the Global Pass without getting off (EN40458) or do I have to travel around Germany (EN50466)? 

Why can´t I find any train from Salzbourg or Viena to Florence or Rome?

Hi everyone,I plan to take some trips in the summer of 2023 from Thessaloniki to Skopje or Sofia.  Due to recent train accident in Greece and the suspension of train services afterwards (in addition to the suspension of  train services during the pandemic), is any hope that international train services will be stored during the summer?  

 I am looking to make a trip in the summer, on my own (female, 41) and was wondering if this is itinerary is going to be too much as all my 'train-days' are quite long. Do any of you have experience with these trains and know if these will be comfortable, have catering,?Also, any tips on reservering seats in advance? According to the railplanner app I don't have to reserve for any of these trains.Thanks!
