Hello!Has anyone travelled from Athens to Igoumenitsa (ferry station)? Apparently there are no trains available for that route, so what would be the most logical option? I would assume some sort of train + bus combo, but where should I take the train to from Athens? I’ve been searching and checking and found some options, but just wondering if there is a “standard” route many take. :)Thank you!

Hi asked for the refund of a pass more than 3 weeks ago but still haven’t the money back.Is there any issue?please let me knowregards

When I reserved my pass, I mixed my name and my last name. Is it important ? If yes, how can I change it ? Thank you

I am from Northern Ireland, have an Irish passport, and currently live in Scotland. I want access to an interrail pass as my passport says that I am Irish and therefore from Europe. What do I out as my country of residence when buying an interrail pass?

Hallo, liebes Eurail-team! Ich hoffe, ihr könnt uns weiterhelfen! Unsere Tochter fährt morgen früh mit ihrer Freundin von Neapel über Mailand nach Zürich, um von dort weiter nach Leer, Ostfr. zu fahren. Die Reise ist gebucht mit allen notwendigen Reservierungen. Jetzt haben wir die Info, dass es Probleme auf der Strecke sowohl über den Brenner als auch dzrch den Gotthard-Tunnel gibt. Was könnt ihr uns raten?Viele Grüße 

Hi,We will be flying into Milano arriving at 11:00 AM. My hope is that we can take a train to Tirano in time to Get on the Berina Express to St. Moritz.  Is this possible?  Some sites show the last train out at 15:54, others show a 17:40 available.  Our travel date is October 6th.So confusing for an American to understand train travel… I wish we had a better train network in the United States! 

Hello! I am planning to use Eurail but i am travelling with my girlfriend and we both have 20kg luggage. We would like to know if we can travel with those luggage inside the train or do we need to pay some extra fees on this ?Thanks for the help! 

Hi everyone, so i managed to connect my mobile passes to my outbound trip (1st travel day of 7) ready for activation on the day of my travel. And i also prepared the route for the next trips which will be the 2nd travel day and 3rd travel day but on different dates.QUESTION- How do i connect my mobile passes to those i have prepared already? (I swear i forgot how i managed to do the first). Please help what and how and best way to use this planner. Many thanks!

We have never traveled by rail before let alone with the rail pass. When evaluating rail passes months ago, it appeared that a 10 day flexible pass would be our best option because I assumed that the rail pass worked for all trains, per the list of countries it says it covers.  So we purchased it and the train tickets for the first leg from Paris to Strasbourg because we were concerned about getting seats. However, now that we are ready to commit to other trains, we are finding that we need to reserve seats, which have to be done at the train station and according to the Rail Planner App some of the trains are “Not in the Pass Network”.We also want to use gondolas and tourist trains in Switzerland. So now I’m wondering the global flex pass was the wrong thing to buy.If it doesn’t make sense, can I cancel the train reservation made and get a refund for the rail pass and what would you recommend instead?  HELP PLEASE!  9/6 - Paris  to Strasbourg to Grindelwald9/11 - Grindelwald to Kander

Hello.I want to travel from East Anglia to Central Europe via the Eurostar. To get to the Eurostar, I have to use 2 standard trains and get the tube (not covered by Interrail) to St Pancras Station for the Eurostar.Would the 2 connecting train trips, with a gap in the middle, and a trip on the Eurostar all count as one outbound trip, or would I have to buy the first section separately and then only use my outbound day for the Eurostar?The trip is all planned for the same day, and I do need to return home afterwards ( thought that will all count as one journey as all trains are connected that time) Thank you(the tube is annoying) 

Hi hoping for your help again!  We have been unable to book a reservation from Barcelona through to marseille tomorrow. We tried at a station in Spain and on the Eurail app. We are happy to take the non reservation route but just need advice re Cerbere  the tenge doesn’t show it stops  there but the Eurail app says change there but have to use public transport. So a little confused. Any advice for the journey Barcelona to Marseille tomorrow would be very appreciated. ( we have to go to marseille as our train to Paris is booked from there) thanks 😊 

Hi folksI will start with to teenagers in Monday.  Made a reservation and was not informed I cannot change it.  From Switzerland to Italy.  Have you experience of in practice the ticket control will accept it when we are in the earlier train?

I created my own account on interrail.eu and bought paper passes for me and my whife. As of yet she does not have an account. Does she for any reason need one?(I cannot think of any reason, but just want to make sure before we start our trip.)

if i plan my trip with the interrailplanner and i select my start and end destination directly i get a pass for less days. but if i select my start and end destination with the train stops i pay more. How to use the interrailplanner correctly?

We will travel to (Sweden and) Norway at the beginning of September. We are not yet 100% sure how long we want to stay in the Lofoten, so we are thinking about being spontaneous and reserving night train seats from Bodo to Oslo only a few days in advance.Considering September is not the main holiday season anymore, is it realistic to make the reservation that late and ideally also get sleeper places? Or do we need to make the reservations much more in advance? Any experience values?

I want to go beteende St Margrethen and Buchs, and find that there is a train replacement bus. According to the rail planner app, the bus is not included in the interrail pass, but that feels weird. Does anyone know if the bus is included or not?

I previously asked a question re this but it’s disappeared.In a few weeks, I arrive at Heathrow Terminal 4 at night.  No guarantee the flight will be punctual, but I’m hoping to be on an Elizabeth Line train by 2100 hours to connect to my destination beyond the London stations.Eurailpasses are valid on Elizabeth Line (as it’s a National Rail service) but given there’s no booking office at Heathrow T4, how do I get the paper pass stamped and the validity dates of my consecutive Global Pass entered?Of course, I can always ask staff if I can travel through to a station with a booking office, but what if the staff are grumpy or officious and won’t let me do this?

Travelling to France next month with partner and 3 kids. We want to travel by train so I've read a bit on seat61 that it's best to book point to point tickets 2-3 months in advance but since we're past that now would it be better to just get a a eurail pass? I have seen a lot of people say a pass isn’t worth it and can be a hassle to use as we still need to pay additional reservation fees on the high speed trains and it doesn’t cover the ouigo train which we will be taking from paris to marseille and avignon to paris. Here are the other trains we will be taking: marseille-carcassonnecarcassonne-avignon And possibly these ones for a day trip:paris-nantes paris-lille marseille-nicecarcassonne-bordeauxcarcassonne-toulousecarcassonne-alet les bainsavignon-st etienneavignon-lyonavignon-aigues mortesavignon-cavaillon

Hi all,I have a question on the validity on the pass on border stations, especially between Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I have a global pass with residency in Germany and made the following experience with the app:I’ve used the pass on several occasions travelling from Konstanz (DE) to Zurich (CH), in this case the Railplanner app shows Konstanz as Konstanz (Germany), however it does not deduct an inbound or outbound travel day, as the station is literally a few meters after the border and since Konstanz station is part of the SBB train network. So no issues here.   In a similar case, I travelled with a separate ticket (Deutschlandticket) to Lindau-Reutin and then wanted to continue by Interrail towards Bregenz in Austria. Lindau-Reutin is again shown as Lindau-Reutin (Germany) on the app, however in this case the app wants to deduct an inbound or outbound travel day.I wonder whether behaviour of the app is correct in this instance. In this post I found the following list of the

Bonjour, je souhaite réserver un train de nuit de basel (suisse) à prague (tchéquie) pour le 17/08 mais lors de la réservation sur le site interrail ce message s’affiche : “Votre commande comporte un ou plusieurs billets papier. Malheureusement, cette réservation ne peut pas être livrée à temps à cette adresse. Renseignez une autre adresse ou réservez directement en gare.” Comment puis-je faire ? Si je souhaite réserver en gare le jour même il risque de ne plus y avoir de places :/ Merci pour votre aide ! Thelma

Hi Just for understanding, If I travel as a german to stockholm by night train as a interrail global pass holder. Then the outbound trip would be Ulm-Stockholm, even if I have to change trains several times because night train I need only one travel day? If I want to go back, then this is the inbound trip, again from Stockholm to Ulm back, that means I come back to my origin station without buying an extra ticket? To get from Stockholm to Ulm I also have to change trains, but that does not cost any extra inbound, because it counts as one trip? What happens if the night train is delayed? Can I then simply take the next connection in germany to my home destination, or would that again cost an inbound connection? Thank you 

I have tried to book my seat reservations for zuerich to milan on the 17/08/2023 but the interail website wont take my payment. What other website do I use and how do I add my pass onto it? Every other website makes me get a ticket too
