Get ready to travel

I adding a journey from Montreux to Zweisimmen arriving at 17:57.  I then tried adding a journey from Zweisimmen to Lauterbrunnen departin at 18:02.  It says”  It looks like you will be on another train at this time.  Please adjust your prior journey”   Obviously, I will not be on another train but assumed it thought the connection was too tight so I tried adding the train which departs one hour later.  It said the same thing.  What am I doin wrong?  Do I just wait until I arrive and then remove the first one and try adding the second journey ? 

The interrail app show by the train Mandello Del Lario - Olcio: not in passnetwork. But in my opinon is that not correct. In my information: is just a trenord train, right? And also in other trennord trains is interrail vallid. Why interrail would be not vallid in the train Lecce - Olcio???

Hello,My husband, 20 year old daughter and myself are traveling next month from Amsterdam to Würzburg and multiple other locations in Germany then back to Amsterdam to fly back home. I made an error in my train seat reservations (which cannot be changed), but fortunately caught now.As I am looking to again reserve those seats which are optional, I noticed the rail planner has Frankfurt as the connecting city. However, on other ticket sites, Düsseldorf is listed as the connecting city.If I reserve on the rail planner, will I truly have reserved seats on the train to Düsseldorf?And though likely covered elsewhere, do we really need to reserve seats on this route?My sincere thanks for any assistance in this matter.Michele

,Hi,We are interrailing as a group of 4 during the summer (June-July) and we would like to take a sleeper train on 8.7. between 22:16-06:16 from Prague to Krakow. We would like to book beds to sleep in, but the reservation does not seem to be possible at the moment in the CD page. Does anyone have any information on when the tickets would be available and we can book the train? Are these included in the interrail global pass or do they cost extra?Best regards,MariaMarkaWe are interrailing as a group of 4 during the ser and we would like to take a sleeper train on 8.7. between 22: from Prague to Krakow.

Hi!I have bought a pass from here and booked a trip via the rail planner going in late june.When I checked yesterday, I saw that we have a change time of about 4 minutes between some trains in some places.Since we have reserved seats on some trains, it will be a bit too expensive to rebook and just throw that money away. Do you have any tips on what I should do or help me book/replan without having to leave the seats we have already reserved?

I am not born in EU countries but I have my resident permit here in Austria, currently I am the int. student here which pass should I choose Interrail pass or Eurail pass? Another question is for one country pass, I do only France but the train route cross Germany - is it okay?

Hi ,We are travelling to Endinburgh from London on the London North Eastern Railway . I have booked seat resevations. Do I just show them our eurail pass when we get on the train? Or how does it work? We havent used Eurail pass before. It is also the first time Ive made seat reservations  externally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping to travel from Salzburg to Venice on 18th August this year via the Brenner pass. This involves taking the RKX662 and RJ85, changing in Innsbruck. Thing is, this train isn’t appearing on the timetable (via DB trains or OSS) but it’s there on the 19th August. How can I confirm that it’s just not a daily service and I’m unlucky or if it will become available later? I don’t see how it will become available later if it’s displaying for the day afterwards…

Hi,I will be traveling with my girlfriend, and we both have Eurail Global passes. I purchased our tickets for each destination using my Eurail account, and the tickets are currently under my Booking section in the Eurail app.  If we look in her Eurail app under the Booking section, we do not see the same tickets. If I lose my phone on the trip, how can we pull up the tickets in her Eurail app?  I am assuming that when boarding a train, I will show our tickets and my Eurail pass, and my girlfriend will need to show only her Eurail pass? Best regards,Michael Bechtold  

Hi friends! I’m taking the 12:22 pm train from Ax-Les-thermes to Narbonne today and noticed when I checked train line and SNCF app that the stop for Narbonne is terminated.  When this happens, is my only other alternative to take the next connection and hang around Toulouse longer (or leave ax on the second train out?) I’ve got large suitcases and prefer not to arrive too late.  What app do you recommend for checking live train times since the eurail planner isn’t up to date ? thanks friends! It’s been three years since I used eurail again and I’m trying to remember how to navigate!  I bought the first class eurail pass for France only if that’s important. 

Hi everyone! 👋 My partner and I are planning our very first Interrail trip this summer (from late July to mid-August), and we’d love to get some advice from the community. Here’s our itinerary:Munich → Vienna → Hallstatt → Ljubljana → Venice → Lake Como → Milan We’ve already booked all our accommodations, but we’re still unsure about seat reservations.Would you recommend booking them in advance for any of these routes? Are there any journeys where reservations are strongly advised or even mandatory? We’re aware that some come with an additional fee.Also, if we travel without a reservation, is it possible we could be denied boarding? And finally, if you have any tips for first-time Interrailers, we’d love to hear them!Packing hacks, train tricks, scenic routes, or just things you wish you’d known before your first trip. Thanks so much in advance 🙏 and happy travels to all of you!

I made a mistake by booking my seat alone because I didn't knew we could reserve it together(with your group). So, I wanted to know if we could take it back or change seats because they're saying we can't.Hope you can help me and have a nice Day.

Hello guys  I am going interrailing this summer with two of my freinds, and we have some questionsCan we get a guide to how to book a ferry from Greece to Italy? Also if you plan your trip on Eurail Interrail, why cant we see the ferry routs, specifically from Italy (ancona) to croatia (spilt)? Do i buy a ferry ticket on  Eurail app, or do i use another app or website?Thanks!

I have a Eurail pass  Nothing booked  I’d like to  book from Glasgow to Frankfurt airport   Hopefully do it in one day  Eurail website sent me to another website  Says “cannot book from your address”  I am in the US   Help? 

I have an Interrail Pass that is valid for one month and is set to expire on August 11th. I would like to start my trip on August 1st. If I activate the pass on that date, will I be able to use it for the full month, or will it stop working after August 11th? In other words, is the one-month validity counted from the activation date, or is August 11th the absolute latest date I can use the pass, regardless of when I activate it?

 I’m trying to book Munich to Verona on August 16, 2025. I would prefer a direct train, but there are none available on the EURAIL website for that date. When I look at August 9, exactly one week earlier, there are several direct trains for this route. I have the same issue with other segments of my trip, Munich-Verona-Florence-Rome; no high speed or direct trains available to book on the dates I want.. Yet if I look at other websites such as Trenitalia or Italo, I can see that those direct trains are supposed to be running.I keep coming back to check every few days in case the direct trains on the 16th and later suddenly become available to book with my Pass, but no luck yet.Is it a question of waiting for a certain date to see the direct routes become available to EURAIL Pass holders, or should I assume it wont happen and make other arrangements?

Hello everybody!Looking for help in planning a train trip from London to Belturbet in Ireland and am testing the limits of the Eurail app ;-)Can someone please confirm: 1) Holyhead route is the best option from London to Deblin?2) Pedestrian/Train passengers can board the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin?3) The best way to get to Belturbet for which there is a bus route Expressway Bus 30 from Dublin?4) Is there another way to get to Belturbet where a train connection from Dublin can get me closer to Belturbet and the bus journey can be eliminated or minimized?I am hoping someone well versed wirh the area can guide me in planning a better utilization of our Eurail Global passes with a family of four!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond...

On some of our planned shorter trips the interrail app neither says “seat reservations optional” nor “seat reservations required”. Does that mean that it is not possible to make seat reservations for these trips? 

Hello dear community, I am planning my travel to Norway. On the way back i'll be in Sweden with 3 short time connections of 15, 49 and 22 minutes. The first one in Kristinehamn station coming from Oslo and  going to Katrineholm C . Then in Katrinholm C to go to Linkoping C. And then in Linkoping C , nightrain  to go to Hamburg. Apparently these 3 stations are small ones  I was wondering if the trains would wait for people in transfer ?!

We've booked all the trains on our itinerary, except for one that's causing us problems: a train from Brussels to Paris that will leave around 16:00 on July 14. We've booked in advance, but we can't seem to make a reservation, even though the train does exist... yet it's as if it doesn't exist on b-europe.com. Do you have any advice?

I'm in Sweden and the conductor just informed me that I need to sign in to the Eurail app to make a reservation for this train. However, the app is asking for a six character pass code. It says it is in my confirmation email, but the only pass number there is nine characters -- an E followed by eight digits.I have a paper Eurail pass, because I am a neanderthal and technology frightens me. How do I find the six character pass number? Or, how can I make reservations without the app? I've already made about a dozen trips on my pass, but this Swedish conductor is the first that insisted I need a reservation.

Hello,I plan to travel from Geneva to Annecy in June.I found TER 23420 on the SNCF website, and I intend to take this train to Annecy.but I cannot find this train on the Rail Planner app...😟 I would like to know if the Eurail Global Pass covers TER 23420?Or should I need to manually add this train to the Rail Planner app? Thank you in advance for your help!😊

I am trying to manually add ThamesLink journey from St Pancras to London Bridge because the Eurail app does not show trains. I have done this previously about 2 years ago but don't remember exactly how it's done. The Eurail app gives the following screen on starting manual addition: I entered the times approximately and train number is optional. Is this enough to generate a valid ticket or should I get exact train times from the ThamesLink app as below and put in exact departure and arrival times? Thanks in advance for your time! 

Hi there:This is my first time trying to travel by rail within France. We have our 8 days France rail pass. I have the Eurail app with the the trip all set up, when I try to make seat reservation, I can’t seems to be able to click on 1st class seat or 2nd class set to make my reservation.My travel start day is 18/July. Don’t think there is a restriction to book early.Does any one face similar challenge?I was hoping I will have luck using the web site to complete my seat reservations.But, the “My trip” trip I have set up in the Eurail mobile App just can’t be found in my Eurail web accountl. Are they not synced?Thank you so much for any helps.

Hi there, My partner and I have finally purchased two eurail passes as we are travelling from Australia. We have not activated them as yet as we dont travel until june 16th this year. We both have the app on mobiles but are wondering how does this get validated by the train conductors ? Do they just check your phone for the pass or do they scan your phone ? Or do you have to print off a ticket every time from your phone to make a train trip ? I have always used and paid for paper tickets so this is very new for us, especially cause we plan to make 10 train trips so hoping for this to be simple. We may also need to get phone plans overseas as not sure if there is always working wifi.Thanks again..
