Some companies offer a certain percentage of the ticket in refunds when the train arrives late at the destination. Can I claim the refund if I used interrail for that trip?

Let’s say that the railway company of the country i am visiting states clearly that all the trolleys that take more than the specified maximum volume must pay an extra fee, Does this apply too when using interrail?

Hi everyone, I am conducting an academic research about the liberalization of passenger high-speed rail and currently I am trying to find which countries in Europe have competition, i.e. more than one rail operator, in high-speed rail.So far what I know:Spain has competition in high-speed rail with three companies (Iryo, Ouigo and Renfe) In Italy, there is competition in high-speed rail with TrenItalia and Italo Within France, the only competition is found in international routes: Barcelona - Lyon (Renfe) and Paris - Lyon - Milano (TrenItalia and SNCF). But for all the other routes, only SNCF.I wanted to ask if you know which other countries have more than one operator in their high-speed rail network.Any help will be highly appreciated!🤗

My train was canceled on May 19, I made a claim on the snfc website but they did not answer. Where should I request the refund of the ticket and the extra expenses for having canceled that trip.

If I need to do personal stuff abroad other than tourism, is it ok to use interrail for that? Is it permited to repeatedly do the same journey?

hi, we booked from geneva to milan on trentitalia. after purchasing the tickets, it said we have to print them at self service kiosks from ITALY ONLY? but if we are leaving from geneva, we cannot do this? is it possible to just use the email with the PNR code to board the train in geneva? if we truly have to print from italy, we will need to cancel

Hi, all:We are 4 people likely to be taking day trips from Oslo to Hamar and Oslo to Larvik/Skien.  We know we need to make reservations for the famous Oslo-Myrdal (Flam) trip, but what about these “less popular” and shorter trips?  Do we need reservations?  Note:  We will be there in September and have global Eurail passes.Thank you.

So we are all getting excited to head to Europe on the 10th, but our attempts to share the trip from one Rail Planner app to another results in the link just opening the browser. When we click the button to add it to the app, it just refreshes the browser window with the same options.When my daughter does exactly the same with a trip she creates, my phone immediately offers the option to import to my Rail Planner app - no browser window. It then successfully adds the trip to my list.Both are iPhones running the same iOS and RailPlanner app version.Any help would be appreciated!

l am allowed one outward and return journey  in my home country. l want to to use eurostar from st pancras. but l am travelling from shrewsbury. Can that be included as part of one journey  ie shrewsbury to Paris  for example ?

Il y a quand même un très gros problème sur Railplanner. J ai besoin de 3 réservations Paris Karlsruhe sur début octobre, ce n est pas ouvert alors qu à la même date l année dernière ça l était.. D autre part, sur le site Sncf connect, il ne reste que 5 places de dispo pour notre heure, mais bien sûr on ne peut pas réserver avec un pass Interrail, et pas par téléphone non plus.. C est un peu archaïque... 

I know the train only started running a few days ago but need help from anyone who has done the train from Gällivare to Östersund this year (2023)Three of us a booked to travel on 20 July Gällivare to Östersund. I see this year the southbound train stops at Arvidsjaur for 25 minutes. For 2022, the menu I downloaded off their website had a menu for Hotell Laponia but that is a 15 minutes walk from the station so won't be possible to walk from the station to buy / collect. The late afternoon stop this year I see is 45 minutes at a Vilhelmina Norra (17:01-17:46) yet the only place I can see there is Bergmans Fisk & Vilt which closes at 17:00! In 2022 the southbound train stopped at Vilhelmina in the town which is 8 minutes walk from the Hotell Wilhelmina. But no chance to make use of this year?Do the places Inlandsbanan advertise take food orders and deliver to the train?It's a long 14 hour journey and I'm not sure the offer on the train will be enough for everyone. Does anyone know i

We have ‘15Days in 2 months 2nd Class’ Eurail Global Pas. We will be travelling from Prague HBF (Prague Hlavni Nadrazi) → Budapest-Keleti Budapest-Keleti → Vienna Hbf (Wien Hauptbahnhof Vienna)Seat reservation are optional for both.

Hello to everyone, I want to travel by train from Athens to Oslo. My Question is that if i can use ANY train i want or there are specific train companies as partners of eurail that i must use one of them. Thank you very much 

Hello I am planning to Travel from Bologna to Istanbul.I will arrive in “Bucuresti Nord” at 15:05 and plan to take the Bosphorus Express on the day after at 10:50.I read in this forum that I have to buy tickets for the latter in the Bucuresti station (I should have plenty of time)What I don’t understand is how the reservation works.On the interrail website it says that a single cabin sleeper is € 77 on top of the interrail passhttps://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/night-trains/bosphorus-express-night-train But on the Seat61 website I can see that the price for the same route without interrail pass is €63:https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/bucharest-and-sofia-to-istanbul-by-train.htm The reason why I ask this question, is because If the reservation with interrail Pass is similar to buy a ticket on my own, I will just buy it on my own and save a day.So my questions are:1) can you confirm that it is possible to buy Bosphorus Express tickets in Bucu

I am new to THE EURAIL Pass system, having purchased one for 7 travel days in a month.  Is the main purpose of the Pass to provide a discount off the full fare?  That is, after purchasing the Pass one still needs to pay an amount for the ticket?   If so, what is the estimated discount percent?For example, I made a reservation for travel from Paris to Geneva in September at $42.51 plus a booking fee of $4.36.  Does this make sense under the Pass?  

I plan a trip for two people from Porto to Switzerland, stopping in Lisbon, Faro, Seville, Madrid and Narbonne. The trip will be in August. I noticed that seat reservations for Portuguese trains are only possible at Portuguese stations. Since my planning does not allow me to arrive at the first train station (Porto) more than a few hours in advance, I would like to know how full the trains are in Portugal in August. I saw that on the day I want to take the train in Porto, there are a approximately a train every hour. I would like to know if I need to prepare a backup plan in the case that all trains are full. Anyone could give me a piece of information? Best regards.

Hi, i entered the wrong validity period, and it will expire the 8th of july while my trip will start the same day. Is is possible ti change it or will I have to but a new one?

There is one thing I find quite confusing in the Passes for kids description https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/deals/free-travel-kidsIt’s states that a child can travel with any adult. But it doesn’t state if the adult must be traveling with an Interrail ticket too, or if it must be the same adult that has bought the Interrail ticket? 

Hi,We are from Australia and have no recent experience with European train travel other than managing to catch the Eurostar from London to Paris last Sunday.We are catching the 9.40am train from Paris to Barcelona this Saturday leaving from Paris Gare Lyon. What time should we arrive at Paris Gare Lyon? We prefer to leave ample time so that we are not stressed, have a bit of contingency time. We are travelling with four children (aged 10-15) and have four suitcases.Also do I assume correctly that this train originates in Paris, and that therefore there will be ample boarding time?

Ayuda, quiero comprar el pase de 22 dias para viajar a varios paises en tren ahora en julio, sin embargo, tengo duda respecto a si es necesario reservar asiento en todos los viajes, ya que si me quedo sin puesto no tengo problema en viajar de pie (si es un viaje de 2 hrs), pero si no hay puestos me dejarán subir??

Hello everyone!My name is Alexandra and I plan to travel with my cat through Germany, France and Spain. My question is regarding the extra fee some railway companies (in this case in France and Spain) require you to pay for travelling with your pet. Once I have my Interrail pass and made my seat reservations, how can I pay the fee for my pet? Can I do it at each station directly?Best!Alex
