Hello,I have a 15 days within 2 month interrail and i am planning on splitting it up across 2 trips, a 5 day trip and a 10 day trip. However, for the 5 day trip i am planning on flying out so i wont be using my outbound journey in my country of residence. Although, for my 10 day trip i am planning on travelling in my country of residence from Liverpool down to London, therefore using my outbound journey then, is this possible? As i am unsure whether the outbound journey means only at the start of your 15 days or if your able to use it after the interrail has already started. Thank you all in advance.

Hello, I'm going to be traveling with two young daughters from Paris to Eastern Europe on a tight budget, and every leg of the journey looks like a nightmare. Especially the overnight train journeys with two connections at 3 am and 6 am for a total of 14 hours. Has anyone done this kind of trip before? Do you have any ideas or recommendations? We were thinking of Paris/Prague/Budapest/Bled/Paris.

i am trying to book trains for my journey and when i look online, for example florence to rome is 1hr30minutes, when i go to book through the rail planner app they are all 4hr+, i want to be able to get the shortest time trasins but im unsure how?

Hallo ich brauche eine Reservierung für den AVE3310 am 16.04.20226 um 20:00 nach Zaragoza: Wie kann ich die Reervierung buchen?

Hallo zusammen,​ich möchte hier mal meine Erfahrungen mit dem Interrail Global-Pass teilen. Ich habe das Ticket zum Glück bei einem Wettbewerb gewonnen. Das war mein großes Glück, denn so musste ich „nur“ die Hotels bezahlen. Hätte ich den vollen Preis für das Ticket auch noch selbst bezahlt, wäre ich über die fehlende Flexibilität und die unlogischen Regeln extrem wütend gewesen.​Das Problem mit der aktuellen Regel:Mein ursprünglicher Plan war eine große Europa-Tour: Von Biessenhofen nach Wien, dann kurz zurück nach Hause (Wäsche waschen, ausruhen), dann weiter nach Frankreich und später nach Spanien. Aber das ist mit dem Global-Pass verboten, weil man im eigenen Land nur zweimal fahren darf (einmal raus, einmal rein).​Besonders für mich ist das eine große Barriere: Ich habe eine Behinderung und kann nicht viele Wochen am Stück alleine unterwegs sein. Ich brauche mein Zuhause als „Basis“, um Kraft zu tanken und mich zu organisieren. Die aktuelle Regel zwingt einen aber dazu, entweder

When will Eurostar release the schedule for direct train routes from London to Amsterdam for traveling in August 2026?

Just thought I’d share how two different refund requests were dealt with.On Thursday 22 January I was booked on the Golden Pass Express from Zweisimmen to Interlaken Ost. Boarded at Zweisimmen and made myself comfortable. Noticed that the lights dimmed every now and then and there was a lot of activity. After about 15 minutes we were told the train had failed and to get another train to Interlaken Ost from “that platform over there”. So we wandered over, got a train to Spiez, changed there and arrived in Interlaken, No big deal but it wasn’t direct and it wasn’t on the booked service. So I filled in the Montreux Oberland Bahn webform looking for a refund of my reservation fee. They replied (quickly) that the train had operated but with a delay. I replied we were told to disembark and seek alternative transport. They replied that my message would be sent to BLS for comments. Radio silence since.On Monday 26 January my train from Brig to Milan was over 90 mins late. (The lack of communic

My family and I want to travel from Freiburg Germany to Rome. We have kids and would like to travel over night sleeping. How can we book this 

Hey! I am currently planning a 6 week interrailing trip with 3 other friends, starting 29th April this year. We have all bought the continuous 2 month global pass. I heard that you need to book your trains in advance, and can’t just jump from train to train. I was wondering how far in advance we would need to book each train, especially the train journeys from each country to another. Does it get busier through May/June, so is that something we also need to be aware of? We were planning to book most of our hostels and trains as we go, so that if we wanted to stay an extra night or two if we really liked somewhere, then it would be possible. However, I’m not sure if this will be possible depending on if we will need to book our trains and reserve seats days/weeks/months in advance?Also, for our train back into London, we were planning to go from Paris to St Pancreas on the Eurostar. Apparently this train gets booked up super fast, so I was wondering how far in advance we need to book ou

I have just received an email saying that I urgently need to set up my pass as it will expire in 8 weeks - I only bought it about two months ago. Anyway - I bought a 7 day pass to use in a month and I have to activate it by the 23rd of march. My 1st day of travel will be the 1st of April. I think I have set it up, the last step I had to do is activate it. Do I need to activate it now? I hope this makes sense. 

Rail strikes in Belgium will impact train travel from Sunday, 25 January, at 10 PM CET till the last train on Friday, 30 January. Due to the strike, a limited number of trains will be running, and alternative train services will operate in accordance with SNCB railway staff availability. We recommend checking the planner in the Rail Planner App or the SNCB timetable shortly before departing for your planned journey for up-to-date train times. To find out more about the strike and alternative train services available, please read the SNCB strike announcement for domestic traffic and international traffic. Delay compensation: Travellers with an activated day for any of the affected dates can request compensation here: Interrail or Eurail.

Zijn er speciale bijeenkomsten op de planning voor interraillers hierin de Randstad?

Hello,I have a reservation for the night train from Bucuresti to Vienna for tomorrow, but since around 2 days, the train does not appear in my Interrail App anymore. It still exists on the ÖBB website (where I also got the reservation from), which makes me wonder how it disappeared from the Rail Planner App.  Any idea if there are any train disruption I should know of?  Also: My reservation starts from Bucuresti though I want to hop in only in Brasov. Do you think that will be a problem?

traveling from Metz to Amsterdam, what is the best route. I assume we want the quickest route.  First time in Europe, trip is in February. 

Bij opvraging van treinreistijden voor een traject krijg ik telkens de boodschap ‘oeps, er is iets verkeerd gegaan’. De timing van de trips is feb-mrt-apr 2026, dus zeker niet te ver in de tijd. Iemand enig idee hoe dit komt?

I’m looking to book the sleeper from Stuttgart to Zagreb on 24th June 2026. I’m booking through the Nightjet website. The page lists “Construction work - Rail replacement bus service”, but I can’t find any more information on whta this involves (or might involve, it might not be finalised yet). Does anyone know where I can find more information on the rail replacement bus service? If it is very disruptive, we might book an alternative route. Thanks! 

I am planning an interrail trip for five of us. I will be setting it all out on my app, as I have fir myself in the past. Is there an easy way to share the details with my four companions to save them having to add all the journeys individually to their apps.

Hey !! 👋🏻 Me and my friend have been trying to plan our interrail trip the past few weeks and it's so overwhelming we would love some help from someone who's been there.We are from Greece and the original plan of our trip was:Greece to Ljubljana by plane on 3/4. Stay there for 2 days.Ljubljana to Bern on 5/4. Stay 'till 8/4. (3 nights)Bern to Amsterdam 8/4 - 11/4. (3 nights)Amsterdam to Paris 11/4. Stay 'till 13/4. (2 nights)Paris to Barcelona on 13/4 and stay until 16/4 (3 nights).Then fly back from Barcelona to Greece. The thing is. Firstly we would like to explore Switzerland's nature, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen etc. however these are around an hour from Bern and there is not connection from Ljubljana to Interlaken. So we would have to go to Bern (explore there a bit) and then use another travel day to go from Bern to Interlaken etc and then back again to Bern. Do you think we can see everything mentioned in less than a day? And basically use 1 day at bern and the second at Interla

I'm attempting to make a booking from Australia. The booking is for a trip on April 28, 2026, from Ancona to Patras. I insert all my and my wife's details, as well as the discount details for our Global Eurail pass and our passports. However, when I click on the 'Port Agencies' button, I receive an error message - ‘default extra not found’. See the second picture below.If I leave that blank, then I receive the error message 'Accept the required details to continue with the reservation.' See the first picture below.I have tried booking without the 'early bird' feature and received the same problem. I have tried different types of browsers to no avail. The problem occurs with either credit card or PayPal payment types. We have been booking other services in Europe without a problem. Are you able to assist, please? Many thanksSteven PasseyAdelaide, Australia

We are struggling on planning our route from Nice to Rome. The only option its suggesting is 35 hours long via switzerland. Please can you advise us on the best way to do this travel day. We are aware its a 12 hour journey. We have a global pass.  Thanks!
