Get ready to travel

Yesterday when travelling to London with an Interrail a signal fault meant our train stopped outside of Koln. No station staff and the driver had no idea when we could proceed. Had no choice but to take a taxi for 45 euros. We have the receipt and a set of DB reservations all the way to Brussels. Who might arrange a refund DB or Interrail?

Hi, I am trying to purchase Eurail pass Spain ahead of time now. Unable to log in b/c of password not matched. I clicked forgotten password but didn’t receive mail since last night.

Good morning, i have few questionsI have to go from Turin to Bath by train from 30 October to 6 November, but the single tickets cost a lot and I saw that the global pass even just for a return trip could be worthwhile.I would leave from Turin to Paris (maybe on the 30th there are no trains so I would go by Flixbus with extra cost). from paris to london i have the eurostar. it is included at NO additional cost right? (i mean if i have to pay something for booking the seat is fine, i wanna know if i have to add the full ticket price, something like 300€ for a/r, o i don’t have to pay this eurostar return ticket but just pay smtg for seat reservation)then the train from london to bath is included even if England is not in european union?same for the return by train from Paris to Turin. all this without additional costs (excluding any one way flixbus) with a global pass?

I’m a total novice to Interrail and will be using the mobile pass. What is the sequence I should follow to book and use Eurostar as the start of our travel from the UK? Should I have “My Trip” planned already on the mobile app? What then? All the online explanations sound obvious but not if you’ve never used them!

Does anyone know how I can find out when French trains are on strike. TGV and sncf. Specifically next week. 

Good morning beautiful community,I have never bought Interrail before so I am a little bit unsure about one specific condition: traveling within home country. Specifically I live ( and also work) in Berlin, where I am OFFICIALLY REGISTERED. However my home country is Italy and on my ID card my home address is the one of my home town ( this is because in Italy you can change your home address for the foreign one only if you join the register of Italians living abroad). I was wondering if I can travel from Germany ( country of actual residence , where I m officially registered) to Italy ( home country , where I am residence for the Italian government as my Italian address is on my ID.). I would have liked to use Interrail for the following route: Berlin-Milan Milan-Calabria, then back, maybe through another city. I am talking about the GLOBAL PASS thank you very much!

So I arrived in Oslo at 18:00 today and wanted to reserve a seat to trondheim. there was no customer service or tourist workers anywhere. So I tried the machines I found my train 22:50 but couldn't reserve a seat with the machine. So I figured I'd just jump on and plead my case. Weird thing is the train appears to have never existed. It was 100% there when I check the machine. It's on the interail app and it's online for the same time tomorrow a Sunday so I doubt it wouldn't be running Saturday. But it wasn't on the boards, no info about it or the Bergen train 23:09. It's not a rail replacement or a connection through metro I've checked. Was it just cancelled without explanation? Am i dumb? Is the universe just trying to spite me? Regardless there's no night trains running. Guess it's the airport floor as a mattress tonight .

Hi, anyone knows HOW we can buy the Family Child specials from Venice to Munich on Trenitalia https://www.trenitalia.com/en/offers/family_child.htmlnot sure if the price indicated is for the whole family?it just says purchase from ticketing office or authorized travel agencies, but is there a way i can buy these tickets online? 

Two of us are traveling on an interrail global mobile pass. We left Scotland on the 11.40 Caledonia sleeper, but one pass prompted a change of start date for this journey. So that person used both out and inbound home country travel, and cannot get back to London from Brussels in a fortnight. Both people have seat reservations. Can anyone advise on how to deal with this?     

Hi, I’ve booked a train from Ventimiglia to Rome on Sunday September 18. I saw this information on the Italian railway app (Trenìt) and was wondering if it affects me at all?  

Are dogs allowed on Eurail through Greece? I have a 35# dog.Thank you.

Hello! I will be traveling with my 10 year old daughter this December from Stockholm-Oslo-Gothenburg-Copenhagen-Stockholm-Helsinki-Kiruna-Ostersund-Stockholm. We are traveling by train with the exception of the Tallink ferry from Stockholm-Helsinki and a bus from Pello to Kiruna. It has been a long time since I have Eurailed so naturally I have a few questions: What train routes on my itinerary require advanced reservations? Do they have baggage storage in the train terminals? Does the Scandinavian Eurail Pass cover all of these train routes? Are there any additional fees? Do you have any must stay hotel recommendations for Oslo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Helsinki? Also looking for must eat restaurant recommendations, especially in Copenhagen as we will be spending Christmas Eve there.Thank you in advance for your help in making our trip come alive! 

Eurail passes allow free travel on S-Bahn in Zurich, S-Bahn in Germany and S-Bahn in Vienna. Do these count as a "travel day" under the pass or are they in addition to the "travel days" registered on the pass?

There are only 17 digits allowed for my GF’s last name. Her last name is 18 digits.  Is this a problem when Aural checks the mobile pass?

Using the Eurail planning app in Vienna, Austria is pretty problematic. Vienna has at least three separate stations if not more. When you attempt to find a train from Vienna to Salzburg for example, it just shows Vienna until you click it and then you see which station - which is sorta inconvenient but workable. Keep in mind it might take 30 minutes to get from one station to another via undergrounds, so its vital to get this right.  But it gets worse. Sometimes it shows Wien Meidling as station and sometimes not when looking for Vienna. But we found that there actually was a train leaving from there, which did not appear in the app. Finally found it by looking specifically for Meidling Wien. I have no idea how many other valid trains are not appearing. 

I have some questions about the limitations of the use of German rail pass.I understand tourist can use this pass including some designated neighborhood countries like Austria, Belgium and so forth.But I wonder whether I can cross the border from anywhere in Germany. If not,  can't I use the pass from only particular stations  in Germany？And can I use the pass only from Germany when I cross the border ? Like from Paris to Frankfurt am Main is not included?My plannning I am worried about is as follows ;Paris → Frankfurt am Main Dresden→PrahaHallstatt→MünchenKöln→AmsterdamAre these cases like above included in German Rail Pass?If someone knows, please let me know.

Hi all,wanted do book a Rail&Fly Ticket to our flight tomorrow, but the last “Check-In”-step is cancelled by the message “Segment not found”.Called the airline and Deutsche Bahn already, both claim that is not up to them.How can I get the ticket. Please help.Thanks in advance.

HelloI am trying to book seats on Eurostar on Oct 29 from London to Paris. I see a message saying most seats are sold out for pass holders and that people should use ferry as an alternative. But when I click on buy seats, it is allowing to pay for the seats.What does this mean? Can I still purchase seats or I should not book? Pls suggestThanksSatbeer

Hi,On Sunday Sept 18 I have booked a train from Nice to Rome. It’s a TER from 5:36 am from Nice to Ventimiglia. However, my train from Ventimiglia to Rome is 8 hours direct. I only have 10 minutes to transfer from the TER or IC train. I’m wondering if anyones knows how big the Ventimiglia station is? I don’t want to miss the train and I have bought seat reservations and it’s the only direct one that day. Thank you in advance!! 

I am trying to book a nightjet on either the 1st Oct or 2nd Oct. We’re holding Eurail passes 1st class and wanting to book the 2person sleeper. Oebb shows availability on the 2nd for the route via Cologne, but then after keying in payment says no seats anymore.The only option I have now found is 1st Oct to Paris Est and then to take the Thalys to Bruxelles Midi(which by the way is showing no 1st class reservations on the 2nd Oct - but they sell 1st seats outright??)Does anyone have a better option for us to look at for a sleeper? (My preference would be to travel on the 2nd, arriving on the 3rd October).

There exists a connection Lille (d11.26)-Massy TGV(a13.34 d14.18)- Dax (a17.30)Do you have to pay €10+€10 (or €20+€20) or only €10 (or €20) for the reservation?

Hi everyone please help. I bought Eurail seat reservations from offenburg to Paris. When I got to offenburg I asked a conductor if the train was going to Strasbourgh where I would catch a connecting train to Paris. They said yes. I’m now on the train, reliving it’s not going to Strasbourg but to Karlsruhe HBF. I’m so upset, I had paid for seat resos already too. What are my options?  the trains on the app say I cannot buy seat reservations. I’m assuming this is my fault and I’ll have to repurchase seat reservations again but I don’t know what to do

I have just read that Trainline will be offering tickets for a new high speed service in Spain operated by Iryo at cheap prices. It is part owned by Trenitalia but I assume Interrail passes will not be accepted - does anybody know? https://iryo.eu/en/we-are-iryo-en/ Also SNCF announce a twice daily Alicante - Madrid service under the Ouigo Espana  brand.
