Train connections & reservations

I have this error when I doing seat reservation. But my friend can do the same booking without error!  

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any experience of going across France by train these last few days, or knowledge of what to expect? Seems like things are quite dicey, but at the same time no formal cancellations? At the moment, my plan is to go from Dieppe on the 5:21 (Thursday 30 March 2023), to Paris and then make it to Zürich eventually that day using TERs.

I will be traveling on a EuroCity train from Switzerland to Italy soon. I have my Eurail mobile pass and have made seat reservations through Eurail. I have also printed these seat reservations out. Do I need to validate my ticket/seat reservations? If so, how do I do that?

Is there a route from milan to London without TOO many seat reservations necessary? I want to travel on 25th or 26th April, arriving not too late on 26th if possible.  Thanks.

Hello,I’m planning to travel between London St Pancras and Cologne on 1 May this year, using one of the days of my 1st class Adult Interrail Global Pass (7 days in one month). However, the timetable has changed since I bought the pass and made reservations for that day.I bought the Interrail pass and reservations for the Eurostar (through the SNCB website) on 13 March. My original itinerary was as follows, which I settled on using DB’s Reiseauskunft:09:01 London St Pancras - Bruxelles Midi 12:05 (Eurostar 9116) 12:25 Bruxelles Midi - Koln Hbf 14:15 (ICE 315)However, it appears that, since then, DB have changed the timetable for the Bruxelles - Frankfurt ICEs over the period from 29 April to 1 May. I noticed this in Reiseauskunft and it is referred to on another part of DB’s website: https://bauinfos.deutschebahn.com/linie/ICE79-ICE-INTERNATIONAL-Bruxelles-Midi-Frankfurt-M. ICE 315 now starts at Bruxelles Nord at 12:15, meaning I can’t get to it from the incoming Eurostar.My connection

I have planned my whole trip with interrail but I need to buy the ticket from Paris north to Brussels central. The interrail website does not give me the purchase details, where can I book it? My pass is an electronic one, so every train reservation is validated via qr code (I don't need paper tickets), right?

Hi Folks,I am a first time interrail traveller and I am facing an issue when planning my trip. Appreciate all the help :)I am planning to travel to Copenhagen from Munich (then to Norway and Sweden). I plan to start my trip from Munich on 6th april 2023 and reach Copenhagen on 7th april. I am facing two issues.1) To go to Copenhagen, the fastest route is via Hamburg. When I search in the rail planner app, the app is showing connections through Hamburg but with multiple changes. There is a train (IC3) which takes ~5 hours and is direct from Hamburg to Copenhagen, but it isn't showing up in interrail planner (even when I am searching a single trip from Hamburg to Copenhagen). This train is mentioned in interrail website under the danish trains section also on other websites. How can I add this train journey to my pass?2) As I mentioned, my journey starts on 6th April 2023 at 11pm from Munich. Since it's my residence country this journey will utilize an outbound journey. But since I have

This comes up when I want to do the Reservation. I activated the pass and added the travel to it. I need to buy one reservation directly with SNCB

Hi, I have a journey Amsterdam - Berlin on 29/03. It says seat reservation recommended. 2 questions: 1- Is it really recommended for this journey or will I be fine without one? 2- If I book a seat for the 11:00, but I need to catch the 13:00, can I transfer my seat reservation or will I have to buy a new one for the later train? Thank you!

I’m looking at taking the route from France to Barcelona via Latour de Carol and noticed a wonderful piece of cross border scheduling. The Toulouse train arrives at 10:26 and the Barcelona train departs one minute earlier at 10:25!! Has anyone taken this morning train and can confirm the Barcelona train does in fact leave without waiting for the Toulouse train? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to book a seat for Sargan to Ljubljana (night train) but it doesn’t work. It is written that seat reservation are only given in paper so I’ll to take it a the station but it is not really comfortable to me. Does anyone has already taken this train and succeed to reserve a seat in advance?  I would really appreciate some help. thanks a lot, Lola 

This is saying that I need a bus from Bologna to Prato. Is this included in the interrail price, will I need to book (I’ve selected no reservation) and is it easy to find (is it at the station and goes straight to Prato station) 

I tried to plan my trip from Inverness to Canterbury to make reservations, but the last part (London- Canterbury) does not turn up in the trip-planner. Can I not use the interrail ticket in south of London?

Hello everyone,i just found out that the prices for reservations in France has increased massively from 12€ to 22€ for many of the trains that i want to take: Does anyone know why or if this is a bug?Also, what does “Pass Interrail (BE)” mean? Because on the 17:28 connection that costs 12€ it says “IRT 2 class”: CheersMarc

Hi everyone. I want to reserve a train from Cluj Napoca to Budapest but I’m unable to even add it to the cart because it says:“Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.”Is this really fully booked? I get the feeling that it is due to that Interrail doesnt have access to the reservation system of Hungary. However, when I go to the site of the Hungarian reservation system ( https://jegy.mav.hu/jegy/szolgaltatas-valasztas?step=3 ) it is expensive and I don’t know how to enter that I have an interrail pass. How should I fix this? Or is it not doable? On the interrail site (https://www.interrail.eu/nl/plan-your-trip/reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations#instructions ) it states that there

Hi, i’m travelling around Europe with a friend in april and i have a reservation question.There is a train that we would like to take from Berlin to Amsterdam on the 23rd of april, it says that we are ready to board and that we can buy a seat reservation if we like, it's not required but its “recommended” (in green). The problem is that the prices for this reservation are unavailable, which probably means that there are no reservations left. My question is, will we still be able to get on this train ? And if we can will there be any seats left or will we have to stand up for 6 hours ?Thank you !

Is there a phone number for Eurail customer service? I have tried the zen desk approach - received a couple of messages and a promise that they would investigate, but now no further contact.Alternatively is there a way to escalate the complaint?

  Anyone knows what “additional supplement required “ means, how much it costs? Is it something that has a stock like seat reservations or am I fine after booking a reservation for 12 euros.

Hi everyone, I saw that a lot of people here have questions about the seat reservations to Split. I want to take the train in the beginning of May to Split from Zagreb. As you probably know, seat reservations are required and you’re not able to book them on the Interrail site. I saw it was advised a lot to book a train seat when you’re in Croatia. however, I fear that I won't be able to get a place then, so im looking for other ways to get a seat reservation. I saw on the site of Croatian railways ( https://prodaja.hzpp.hr/en ) that you can book tickets for the train I would like to get. however, I nowhere see an option to enter that I have an interrail pass. I only see discounts for youth/students. Is that the same? Or is it unnecessary to book ahead anyway because there will be enough seats in every instance?thanks in advance :)

Hallo,Ich plane gerade meine Reise und wollte den Nachtzug von Budapest nach Berlin buchen. Leider ist dieser Zug auf keiner Seite buchbar und es steht dort immer "keine Buchung möglich"? Was mache ich falsch?

Hi, We want to travel from Barcelona to Geneva on Thursday 29 June.The suggested route is:10.33 Barcelona to Montpellier Sant Roc arriving at 13:41.13.53 Montpellier Sant Roc to Lyon Part Dieu arriving at 15:51.16.38 Lyon Part Dieu arriving at Geneva at 18:35. I am concerned because the connection time at Montpellier is only 12 minutes. We are a family of six on a five week trip, so will have a reasonable degree of luggage - probably four suitcases.Is the connection time in Montpellier Sant Roc feasible?If we miss the connection in Montpellier Sant Roc at 13:53 because the Barcelona train is late will we be allowed to get on the 14:51 (ie fact they transfer our reservations from the 13:53 to the 14:51)? Would really appreciate any advice re: the above.   

Hi We are planning to go from Bergen on 6 April 2023 ( but haven’t yet booked train from Oslo to Bergen! ) to Andalsnes over the Easter period… Both day and night trains only have a 7 minute transfer time at Donbas (to Andalsnes) Is this enough? Is it a big station? … the next train if we miss the connection is 12 hours later 😞. Also , is it a good time (Easter) to travel through Scandinavia or should we change our plans? I’m not sure how long holidays they have but believe everything closes. We have 1st class passes … if I ring up Entur will I get the seat reservations for free or is that only if I book in person at Oslo or another station. 

Hi,Very much hoping that someone can help me as I have not yet had a response from Eurail Customer Service…Yesterday (as it was 90 days out) I tried to book seat reservations from Paris to Barcelona for my family of six. The Eurail system kept coming up with an error at the payment stage. Info on the Eurail web site suggested that the reason for the error was because we were trying to book for six people in one transaction. So I split my party in two and booked for three people at a time. Only problem is, even though I did the bookings straight away after one another, the seats ended up in different carriages. This is not ideal as it’s an eight hour journey and we want to sit near our kids. Is there any way that we can change the seats? ie a phone number to call where I can speak to a person In a couple of days time I need to book the seat reservations from Barcelona to Paris. Is there a way to book this so that we can sit all together (or at least in the same carriage)?I have carefull

Hello everyone,My husband and I got the 4-day Global Pass (1st class) - we are trying to book a 2-bed cabin #798 InterCity Notte train (April 24th - Roma Tiburtina to Milano Porta Garibaldi at 23:55), however this option is unavaible on the Eurail Reservation tool, but it is available on ItaliaRail and Trenitalia website.Since we have the mobile pass, we can’t book with ItaliaRail. This is very upsetting because its only giving us the most expensive options, when it clearly has availability on the 2-bed cabin for paper pass holders.I already tried to call Trenitalia, but they can’t help unless I go to the train station - and EuRail customer services is not responding my inquiries. Unfortunately I cannot gamble to wait to book the reservation once we arrive in Italy, we will take this train only two days after arriving and we have a baby with us - so not getting a bed to sleep will be a nightmare.Please check pics to see what shows on ItaliaRail for paper pass holders, and what shows on
