Solved

Hi! I was thinking of starting my Interrail Summer by doing a trip in May, fly to London, then some days in UK (Scotland and back), Eurostar to Brussels (I was in Paris last year, so a different route) and fly back after 8/9 days from Germany or Poland where I can get a cheap flight. Any thoughts on best places in Scotland / elsewhere in UK as absolutely must visit? Do you think 1st class is worth the money in UK? 

Google Maps shows a train running from La Speza to Parma- the trip takes about 2.5 hoursBUT when I try to book with Eurail the site insists I travel via Genoa, and the trip will be 6 or 7 hours.So despite what Google is telling me there are NO direct trains from La Speza to Parma (on a Sunday) ??

Good day everyone. I want to ask for some help regarding how to obtain a ticket for those trips that does not require any seat reservations as I know that the Eurail pass is not the ticket itself. How do I go about with this? Your responses are much appreciated.

I am trying to book a train from Amsterdam to Munich on Monday 7th August, but there are very few options currently showing, however there are a lot more options for any day prior to this. Do they release these in week batches and therefore I will have to wait until Monday 20th February for these additional trains to show?

Hi, me and my friend are currently travelling with an interrail ticket from Bremen to Malmo C. Due to the øresund bridge being closed we are stuck in Copenhagen until at least midnight. Does anyone know if we are entitled to compensation for the hotel room we booked in Malmö or the hotel room we will need to book for tonight in Copenhagen? 

Hi, please can you help me? I want to go to Amsterdam using an Interrail Pass. The train travels via France and Belgium too. Would I need to purchase a global pass (for more than one country?)

Is it possible to buy more than one global interrail pass per year?

Hi, using the journey planner app I seem to be having a weird problem. I created 2 trips, one for me and the other for my wife. On our first travel day I’ve added 3 journeys to my trip without any problem, albeit one of them, as Thameslink service to St Pancras Intl, doesn’t exist in the timetable so I added it manually (I read that the timetables aren’t always very up-to-date).I added the same journeys to my wife’s pass (exactly the same type of pass). But when I came to activate the journeys (if that’s the right expression for sliding the button against the journey to change it from grey to orange) I noticed there was a funny symbol on the button for the 2nd journey…… and when I tried to activate it I got the following message…I don’t understand the message; when I select “use outbound/inbound journey” I just get a message saying “something went wrong” and to contact customer service if it keeps happening (which it does). I’ve not tried contacting customer service yet but does anyone

Hola. Si uso un pase para viajar y llego al día siguiente con transbordo. He gastado 1 día de pase o dos? Gracias

Bonjour je souhaite partir de Bale en suisse pour aller directement jusqu’à Kiruna en Suede. Je n’arrive pas à comprendre combien de jour je dois prendre pour mon pass ( avec le retour) en sachant que j’ai deux train de nuits . Merci

I have booked a ticket in the eurail app for Lille (France) to Brussels (Belgium).The app says I need a seat reservation, but I am not able to make a seat reservation with a destination outside of france. You have to use the SNCF (French nat. train service) web site or app for the TGV trains, however this app won’t let you reserve seats for trains that exit France. 

Hi. I want to book the nightjet from Paris to Salzburg for July but it isn't showing compartments and when I emailed they said I would just have to keep checking website for when the compartments go live. Anyone else had this before? Really worried about missing out and it messing up our whole plan for the holiday. Thanks

Hi. I am trying to follow one of the suggested routes in Europe by Rail. I can’t find any timetable information on the ligne de Cevennes from Clermont to Nimes. The book warns there is often engineering work on the line. How can I find out? ( travel end of March)

I want to book a trip that has two changes of trains but none of them require seat reservations. All my other trips required a reservation so I would go in person to the train station and I would receive a physical ticket with a car and seat number. By adding a journey to my trip and creating the travel day, am I guaranteed to be allowed on that train? Will I get in trouble for possibly sitting in someone else’s seat or does nobody have assigned seats and they are all first come first serve seating? Is showing my ticket pass on my phone enough or do I still need to go to the ticket desk and receive a physical ticket for the train? If the train ends up being filled, am I guaranteed a spot on it since I’ve added it to my Eurail Global Pass via the RailPlanner app?

Hi. Has anyone travelled directly from Salzburg to Lake Bled. Is it doable in 1 day and would I need to reserve seats? Websites seem to tell me very different length of time for travel and send me all over the shop rather than going direct. Thanks

Hi everyone,I’m trying to book a reservation (for 4 people) on the TGV from Zurich to Dijon on 1st August. I have the SNCF app but I can’t seem to add that I have an interrail pass. And when I search on the Eurail site and app it doesn’t let me book there. Am i missing something? Am I too early maybe? Thanks in advance!

Hi!I have bought a 4-day in a month global pass. I had activated it for today thinking I could take the connection Bonn-Stuttgart-Ulm-Pordenone, Ulm-Pordenone serviced by a NJ. I would depart in the evening and get there in the morning. So I activated the pass and then tried to reserve a seat but I couldn’t. Now any other connection is such that I need to use two travel days and I do not intend to do it because it undermines the whole rationale for why I bought the pass in the first place. I would like to get the pass deactivated and my travel day back or at the very least my travel day back. I tried to contact support via both the bot and the app, but I don’t even get a confirmation mail. What am I supposed to do?

Going to UK for two weeks in June and then visiting other countries like France, Ireland, Belgium and Spain. I wanna know if in UK is it possible to travel for example: London - Cambridge - London or London - Liverpool - London using the Eurail. Like one day trip in the same country. It’s possible to do that with the Eurail Global Pass? I know that there is one BritRail Pass as well, but the trip will continue to other countries, so I don’t know what if it’s worth it. 

I have tried to plan my trips, but RailPlanner tells always: Sorry, we don´t have train times for these dates yet -we´re waiting for a timetable update from the railways.Please change your search and try again. I have used last spring Railpalnner – no problems...

Hello! I am trying to get from Austria to Venice in March. I found a direct route that states that I need to purchase a seat reservation from Villach Hbf to Venezia Santa Lucia but when I went to do so on my computer only a paper ticket is available. Since I would much prefer a mobile ticket I followed advice I saw on a separate forum and went to the Czech Rail website to see if I could purchase a seat reservation there. The confusing thing though is that when I found the exact same route for my journey it said, “no restrictions on the route.” I’m wholly unsure which information I should trust, could I even still use my eurail pass for this route if I don’t purchase a reservation since it’s from the eurail site itself that’s stating I need said reservation? I don’t know if opting for a paper ticket would be a safer option as I’m worried about it not arriving at my hostel in time.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this. 💓

Hello, I made a seat reservation for my friends and I together.  However, we only received one E ticket and not two.  What do we do now?

The Caledonian Sleeper site is contradicting my understanding of night trains and Eurail passes. They write:“Britrail / Inter-Rail / Eurail / FIP Coupons will need to be valid on the date you arrive in your destination but not necessarily on the date you join the train for departures before midnight.”Now, I understand why that might be the case for the trains that depart Edinburgh or Glasgow just before midnight: it’s after midnight CET, and maybe the app logs it in CET time.But I want to use my pass one morning to go from Glasgow to Fort William, explore, then get on the 19:50 departure to London, which arrives around 7am.Can anybody advise?

Hello all, two of us have a two-month 1st class interrail pass. I have worked out our itinerary and booked reservations for things like sleepers, panoramic cars, TGV etc. These are trains for which I haven’t booked seat reservations. I have a condition which means I can’t stand for long periods of time. Equally, we don’t want to spend money on reservations unnecessarily. Could I please have some advice as to which of these trains we should make reservations for? Thank you so much! Date Day of week Route Time 13/03/2023 Monday Weimar - Wurzburg 17:09 15/03/2023 Wednesday Wurzburg - Munich 08:04 18/03/2023 Saturday Zurich - Karlsruhe 09:59 29/04/2023 Saturday Strasbourg - Basel 16:51 01/05/2023 Monday St Moritz - Zurich 17:02 02/05/2023 Tuesday Budapest - Vienna 17:40
