Hi Friends, I’m trying hard to find seat reservation for ICE/TGV trains from Heidelberg/Mannheim/Karlsruhe  to Paris.But seems for all the train DB website shows error message like “Reservation cannot be made”.Like this :However Raileurope website shows message like Seat reservation has to be made at station.  Can someone please help me guide what could I do ?Does it mean that seats are really full or I have to make seat reservation locally from station in Germany ?I’m going to travel with family and toddler .. so don’t want to take chance.I will buy EUrail pass in case I get seats for at least 2 of my journey.Thank you great people. 

I’ve just purchased seat reservations for a trip from Paris to Strasbourg through RailEurope.  I was really surprised to read “Please print them on plain A4 paper before travel and present on board. Do not print in "economy mode" as this can make barcodes illegible. Please note that the tickets must be printed; they cannot be presented via a laptop or mobile phone screen.”This is not a big deal as I probably would have printed off a copy of the seat reservation anyway, but I have always in the past shown tickets whether they be seat reservations or actual tickets on my phone upon inspection.   I have the RailEurope app and there are perfectly good images of the tickets obtainable through that app.    Is there some reason that I am missing why they insist on having paper copies?Peter

Hello,  I am South African citizen currently in Germany for 5 months, I got the national visa. I have two questions. Firstly, do I buy the interrail pass or Eurail pass?Secondly, I am planning to travel between 31st July - 21 August. I am planning to 8 countries spending 2 days in one city in each country, Italy being an exception I will do 3 cities. I want to know if I will need the 22 days pass or I can buy the 15 days pass since some days I will not be travelling. I am confused by the consecutive days whether it means travelling daily or I can stretch it in between days. Thank you for your assistance in advance.Isa

Hello,  I’ve added a trip to my app and added 5 travellers.  I’ve booked seat reservations but on receiving the ticket via email there is only the one name on the ticket (the first alphabetically) but there are 5 seats listed.  Would this be correct? It’s charged me for 5 seats but should we not receive 5 tickets? Or at least have all 5 travellers listed on the one ticket? Thanks

It’s now May and I’m checking the app for trains between Copenhagen and Stockholm for September and can’t see any, but train.ninja is showing lots.Do I conclude that there are no train journeys on which I can use my railcard, or does this mean the app hasn’t updated with train times for this far in the future?Thanks

Hi there,I am about to plan an Interrail-Trip with my family through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain next summer. As seat reservations are really extraordinary expensive, we would like to skip them as often as possible. In the Netherlands and Belgium we will have some shorter journeys mainly up to one 45 minutes or one hour in an Intercity. Are trains in the Netherlands and Belgium normally crowded or shouldn’t it be a problem to fine some seats? We well be travelling late morning hours on weekdays and weekends.Thanks for your helpJohannes

I am considering buying an Interrail pass but I have a specific journey planned out. Is it possible to know whether there are pass holder seats left on specific journeys before I buy the Interrail pass? I am thinking specifically about Eurostar London to Paris, but also Paris to Munich, and Grenoble to Paris.If it’s not possible to know that before paying for the pass - I think that you can only get 85% back on unused passes, have I read that correctly? Thank you for your help!

If you haven't yet bought a global pass, can you make seat reservations on TGV?If yes, how?Thanks

Bonsoir! Avec ma copine nous souhaitons réserver un train le 4 juillet de Budapest à Rijeka, seul hic, aucun prix ne s’affiche.Le site nous informe qu’il faut réserver les places (ce dont nous sommes bien conscients) mais ne nous informe à aucun moment qu’il n’y a plus aucun ticket disponible, cependant les trains d’avant ont un prix qui est affiché.Nous avons regardé le même trajet pour toutes les dates suivantes et même soucis.Est ce que quelqu’un a la réponse à ma question et saurait nous aider?  (Voir screenshot attaché)

Hello,I know I am not the only one waiting for the reservations to open for the SJ94 train from Stockholm to Narvik, even with a change at Boden and Bjørkliden.I checked just now on sj.se : what is open is only a departure today and tomorrow. Starting the 22th, it says “Not available” but between 16th and 21th of May, it says “We didn’t find any matching departures”.Is this due to the derailment ? I thought that the train ran daily (even with the Boden connection). Does it ?I plan to travel at the very beginning of July. My final destination is Tromsø. I am looking for an alternative route in case I could not get a ticket through Narvik (and I feel I will know that only a few days before). Do you know if it is easy to travel from Stockholm to Trondheim without a reservation (local trains ?), or with a last minute reservation ? Same question for Trondheim-Bodø even with a seat in the night train.Thank you for any other route suggestion.

We're planning a trip from Amsterdam to visit the UK.  If we buy global passes for the UK, is the Eurostar included, since it's travel to/from our home country (NL) ?  Anything special needed to know on booking reservations on Eurostar?Also, if we buy first class passes, will that translate to Standard Premier on Eurostar?Thanks!

I am writing this message on May 12.  We have European trip scheduled to begin August 21.  We prefer global paper passes to digital passes.  How long does it take to receive a paper pass in the eastern USA?  If it doesn’t arrive in time, can we exchange paper pass for global digital pass?  Under this exchange scenario, please briefly describe the process/conditions.  Thank you.

I am writing this inquiry on May 12, 2024.  We live in the United States and will begin our European trip on August 21.  We prefer paper passes over digital passes.  How long will it take to deliver paper passes by mail to the eastern United States?  Are signatures required for mailing (receipt) of paper passes? Also, if we do not receive the paper passes in time, can they be exchanged for mobile passes?  Under this exchange scenario what is/are the process/conditions of exchange.  Thank you.    

I have searched Eurail website and I am not able to find a way to reserve ferry ticket. Does Eurail global pass include this ferry? 

I am traveling in Portugal and cannot bypass the station gates. What can I do? It seems they use a chip detector for local travel cards. Is there anyway to use my Eurail pass to get through the gates and access the train platforms?
