Hello Team,I will be a first time user of the EURAIL global pass(2nd class) and have some questions about day activation.For example, I would want to use the pass from Interlaken to lauterbrunnen. Now for any given day that I want to use this for, do I have to add the specific time train to the journey to and from Interlaken? Also, what will happen if I want to take the next train and not the one that I have added in my planner app? 

HelloWe are looking to travel to the UK from Northern Spain this christmas.  We are thinking of using the night train from Dax to Paris as it’s very tight to make the whole journey in one day.  From doing a bit of research it looks like the night trains go on weekday nights but not weekends.  But the day we want to travel is Friday 21st December and there does not appear to be any information for that train yet.  I need to book the seats for the Eurostar and worry they might run out (we are a family of 4), but want to link them with the night train.Is there a phone number I can call (in English) to find out if the night train will run of that day?   Thanks, Martha

I purchased interrail passes for my wife and I ages ago and so I cannot remember precisely what I did.  Presumably, however, I set up an account and then through that purchased both our passes.We will be travelling out soon and we have now both activated our passes etc.  Everything seems to be in order,   I just realised, however, that whilst I have an account into which I can log in, my wife does not. Is this an issue?  Does she need her own account?  Is it advisable for her to have one?  In one respect it would be quite nice not to bother.  We have so many different accounts with so many different passwords, one fewer would be quite nice!Peter 

I have had several train trips, both in Europe and the UK delayed or cancelled using my Global Eurail pass.The question is can I claim compensation even though I have no ticket?

Any suggestion on the best/shortest route from Amsterdam to Stuttgart. I was hoping there is a night train, but seems not. Thank you

Hi, if I miss a connection & travel on next available train the same day do I/can I update my Global Pass with new train timings?  No seat reservation involved.  Thanks

Hello all,Wondering if I’ll just have to suck it up or there’s a better way around this…Berlin to Amsterdam on the IC148 train (direct). When I reserved my seats, it gave me 3 seats in the 1st class, compartment carriage, which I do not like as it’s quite suffocating. Do you think if I book using the Eurail app I’d have more luck? Thanks so much!

Hi,we plan to reach the Lofoten in October by Interrail (1st class). I saw there is a possibility to go from trondheim by day train to Bodo. From there with a ferry (Hurtigruten) to Lofoten. On our way back, we want to take the night train from Bodo to Trondheim.A few questions:1.) The nighttrain has only two bed compartiments. I think we will manage to “sleep” there with one adult and child on each of the small beds. So we need just one compartiment. Does anybody know if this will be okay with the railway company? Our children are 5 and 2 years old.2.) How about ferry connection in Bodo? Shall I pre book or would it be better to do it, when I know, if the train is maybe late? Are there other ferry companies Bodo / Lofoten?3.) How can I find out, how much the night train compartment will cost me with my interrail 1st class ticket? (3 tickets for us two adults and the 5 year old, no ticket for the 2 year old..).

Hello all,Wondering if someone can assist me. I’ll be travelling on the 29th of October from Zurich to Munich - when searching for a direct route on this date, nothing appears. However, other dates do show availability. Is there an event that is causing the lack of direct route options?If so, what are your best recommendations? Stop via Innsbruck, Stuttgart or Lindau? Thank you so much!

I would like to travel from Brussels to Budapest, and the following is itinerary is offered by all major reservation services:ICE at 16:32 from Brussels to Cologne / 12 minutes transfer time / ICE from Cologne to Mannheim / 7 minutes transfer time / ICE from Mannheim to Augsburg / 22 minutes transfer time / Euronight at 23:02 from Augsburg to Budapest direct .Zugfinder.net gives overall 50% chance that these connections would actually work, based on delay statistics. Based on experience with DB I also think it is a high-risk gamble. If it does not work out there is still a regular IC train to get later from Augsburg to Vienna overnight, to catch an early morning train to Budapest.I am willing to take the chance, but am wondering about the validity of the Interrail travel day. With the Euronight train, it would be sufficient to use one travel day for the whole trip, as it leaves Augsburg at 23:02 and goes to Budapest directly. But the later IC leaves only after midnight at 0:20 and also

Hi ! I’m planning a trip from France to Scotland with my bike. On the routes Dover-London and Edinburgh-Inverness, no seat reservations are required but i need to book one space for my bike. Is it possible to reserve a cycle space without reserving a seat? How? Thanks for your help. 

Hey all. Just wondered if anyone knows what the recent Stockholm to Berlin Snälltåget night train punctuality has been like? I have reservations back to Brussels the Tuesday morning (28th), but these are all out of whack due I think to some major engineering works in Germany. Trying to grab some more reservations but not sure it'll be worth booking something out of Berlin before 10.00 if it's arrival time of 08.47 is unrealistic. Also, may consider hopping off at Hamburg if it is expected to be delayed... Thanks

I try to make a reservation for the Railjet service (15.54) from Buchs to Innsbruck on the 31th of october. I tried it a for the last few days, I tried to do this via different websites, but the oebbtickets.at is clear: “currently not reservable”.It seems to be there is construction work upcoming or some timetable information is missing. I can't find info for construction work and the train is not missing in the rail planners.Is there a way to find out if this train is running on this day? Otherwise I have to chacnge some plans. Thank you for your help!

Good afternoon,We have an interrail pass 1° class. I want to make reservations for me and my partner. His name I’ve also added in my “travel trip”. But … normally I book everything via interrail.eu. But there keeps popping up the result only for 1 traveller. But when I go to eurrai.com I can book as well, and there is popping up automatically the info for 2 pers. What is the reason for this? And does it make a difference if I book via EUrrail or Interrail?(I”ve screenshots but we can’t add this on this forum).Thanks for your support!

Hello, I recently came back from a fantastic interrail journey with two friends trough Sweeden and Danemark that went almost perfectly. However, on the first day of travel, we were unlucky enough to have our ICE train to Hamburg delayed and then cancelled wich prevented us from taking our booked night train from there to Stockholm.We are now compiling the formular to get a refund but we don’t really know what we are entitled to ask as refund… I know that there are european laws that regulate what and how companies should refund to travellers in the event of a problem that bar them from continuing their journey on the same day (hotel refund, tickets for the next day and food if I’m not mistaken), but I didn’t find a specific explanation for refunds if travelling with interrail. Furthermore, Deutsche Bahn told us at the station that they would “maybe” look for a refund of the hotel, but wouldn’t for the night train we’ve lost, the seat reservations we’ve had to pay the next day to contin

Hi community,I need guidance on whether to go with a 15-day pass or a 30-day continuous pass.

The pass for 11 is free.Our itinerary starts from London and ending in Rome London (4 days) Brussels (5 days) - planning day trips to Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Cologne Paris (5 days) - 2 at Disney Geneva (5 days) - planning day trips across various regions in Switzerland Barcelona (4 days) - day trip to Madrid Nice for a quick day (to Monaco) Italy (5 days) - Planning day drip to Pisa / VeniceI appreciate any help you can provide.

Dear community,This is my first time using the Eurail pass I aim to begin in Leipzig next week and travel during the dates Aug 26 till Sep 10 reaching my destination of Greece, Athens. Is using the Euro rail pass make sense for this scenario and can I just get on any train and go to my next destination? So far my Itinerary:Train from Leipzig to Vienna: Day 1Bus from Vienna to Budapest: BusAnd the rest is up in the air any suggestions on remaining travel route and if my idea for using the Eurail pass this way makes sense.  thank you  

Can I do a round trip consuming one day of my pass? For example: Brussels-Brugge in the morning and return in the evening.Thanks!

I’m planning to travel from London to Osnabrueck via Brussels and Koeln at the end of this month. The train from Brussels to Koeln has a reservation fee that depends on what time you catch the train. If I buy a reservation, and then miss the connection because Eurostar is late, what happens then? If the next train has a more expensive reservation fee, do I pay the difference, or what?This must be such a common issue - but never had to do this before.TIA!

Greetings I need some advice.  I am currently in Nimes and would like to visit the Chauvet cave.  After a long search I found the only option to get there by public transport.  Ať first tgv to Valence and then ter bus to Vallon pont d'arc.  As I read in other posts here on the forum, railpass should be valid in ter bus, although I'm not sure if it's still true and if the bus driver will know it too.  App shows me that they also need a Seat reservation for this bus. 1. Do I really need to reserve a seat for this bus?2. Does anyone know of any other way to get to Chauvet Cave in a different way and earlier, or at least how to leave Vallon Pont d'arc later.  I found the last connection to the train station at 17.00. Thank you for your help
