Train connections & reservations

Bonjour à tous et merci pour ce que vous faites et pour votre réactivité ☺️Je viens de me procurer un pass Interrail global 4 jours/ mois.  Je vais voyager avec mes deux enfants de 8 et 4 ans.Mon premier voyage c'est du 17/02 au 20/02.17/02 Lille- interlaken : j'ai déjà réservé 3 sièges , je les ai directement acheté sur interrail planeur, même s'il fallait payer 6 euro pour les 3 réservations c'était plus simple que la réservation sur SNCF.fr je n'avais pas trouvé de réduction Interrail et ça me proposait que le tarif plein.- Mon premier soucis et que les e-billets  que j'ai reçu uniquement sur ma boîte mail , n'apparaissent pas sur mon rail planeur , et je ne sais pas comment les associés à mon pass et les activités avant l'embarquement...pourtant ils disaient bien que j'allais les recevoir également dans my pass. .dois- je contacter interail par mail ?- Ma 2ieme question est que les prix du siège qui apparaît au début est différent de ce qu'on paye ..par exemple : Lille -interlaken.

Hello,I am total newbie here. What is the shortest way to travel from Finland to Malaga, Spain with train and no ferries if possible ?  Are there any routes from Finland to Spain without ferry but if not then what ferry? I want to know what type of Global Pass to include. Every option needed. You can show me the link to existing faq and remove this post to the right place if this is out of any category. Thanks,-Antti-

Hello! I’m traveling through Europe from April to May, and I’m getting ready way ahead, and working on a schedule. My question is simple: I’ve understood how the global pass works and I already have the trips selected, I’m just about to reserve the seats.  My question is… How do train times work according to time zones?For example, on Sat. 22nd April, I will travel from London to Verona. One of the trains I’m reserving leaves London at 07:55h and arrives to Paris at 11:27h.  The thing is that Paris (and mostly the rest of Europe) timezone is +1 hour than the UK.  How does this affect my train times?  If the app says the train leaves at 07:55h, does it really leave at 06:55h (UK time) and I must do all the movements for security control and pasaport checks an hour before the schedule I’ve planned? I hope you can help me!

Hey there!Like others here, have beens stuggling with seat reservations throughout my travels and ended up having to book flights. Also that we have ended up on separate trains hours apart despite many spare seats on trains.Just reaching out to see if anyone can assist with any tips for getting from Amsterdam to London on Jan 3 for 2 people on class 2 global passes. Have been trying for months and looking like I might need to do a bus!Have tried the b.europe website and going into ticket office at train station.Many thanks for any tips or help 

Why can I not find the Paris (Austerlitz) to Nice night train to make reservations? It’s not available through the Rail Planner app, it’s not available in the Eurail reservation system and it doesn’t even come up when I try through the French SNCF website. Yet SNCF has a whole page devoted to the Paris to Nice night train, with train times and train numbers. This would appear to be a valid route -- why can I not find it and book it?(My plan is to travel only using night trains and this is supposed to be the very first leg of my journey. Frankly, this is not a great start if I can’t even book the first day of my trip.) Thank you.

Hi . Can you book Seat Reservation for Eurostar at Ticket offices in UK Main stations e.g Derby or Leicester?

Hi, I’m hoping to do the following route in June/July, through:Lisbon Madrid Barcelona Nice Florence Rome  NaplesLooking online, I can’t find train links between them all - I’m open to stop through other places along the way, these are just the ones I definitely want to stop by but I can't find any out of Lisbon, or from Spain into Italy. Could anyone suggest where I would find out what route/ trains are possible, as the ones on the rail map don’t then appear in the websites route searcher, and when I should book them? Is it that I need to buy the interrailing ticket and download the app first, or am I looking too early?Thank you!  

We are trying to book Eurostar Reservations on the Eurail Website. It asks for the money in dollars which is fine. But will not accept UK credit Cards. Anyone got a solution?

Good morning,Is it right that when you make a seat reservation for example Rotterdam - Barcelona that you have to wait voor 2 days if your request is accepted? I read this in a travel blog. Or do you know immediatly if you have the seats you want? Because after 2 days, all the other option are probably full.I hope anyone will let me know. 

Hallo! I have the Interrail app on my phone and on my iPad. And I accessed the rail planner at interrail.eu. I searched for trains from Oslo S to Stockholm Central on June 8. Result: one set of train schedules on my phone and at interrail.eu, another on my iPad. Phone and iPad are online, as is my MacBook. My iPad Planner shows a train at 10:10 and one at 14:10, both of which require one change of trains. My phone and the internet say I can either leave Oslo at 7:24 (4 changes!) or at 14:36 (3 changes). Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone explain to me what is going on? Thanks

Greetings fellow adventurers. I recently joined this group in the hope of connecting with fellow enthusiasts and to ask/answer questions related to European travel.I am looking for advice on the best way to get from Bucharest to Brasov.I am looking to travel from Edinburgh to Bucharest in October 2023. Obviously, a trip to Romania in October would not be complete without a trip to Brasov to see Dracula’s Castle (Castelul Bran).Would it be worth while purchasing an Interrail ticket to travel from Bucharest to Brasov and return on the same day or would it be cheaper for me to just purchase a train ticket on the day?Also, how frequent are the trains from Bucharest to Brasov?Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.Liam

Hi everyone, I’m new here :) I am planning a trip in June in Denmark / Sweden / Norway starting from Brussels.I kind of get stuck to find a good way to go from north Norway to the ouest without passing via Oslo?

Anyone has tips on routes for this itinerary?Are all train travel in Norway included in the pass? So far i was thinking to do:Brussels - Copenhague (via Hamburg)Copenhague - StockholmStockholm - NarvikThen would like to stop at Bodo, Trondheim, Bergen, ….Then for the way back home form Oslo to  Brussels  (via Goteborg and Copenhague). Thanks in advance

 Hi, I'm getting an error message when trying to make a train reservation. It says "Not enough free reservations left for some travellers". What is this??!!

Hi all, I searched the timetable for London St Pancras to Amsterdam Centraal, 8:55am, 29/4/2023.  The whole trip includes 3 stops, I paid to reserve 2 seats on St Pancras to Bruxelles Midi, that was highlighted orange, with a cost, and received 2 emailed eTickets from Eurostar.  The legs from Bruxelles Midi to Breda, then Breda to Amsterdam Centraal (Thalys) were highlighted green, no reservation required, free to board.  Does that mean we will get a seat on the Thalys train from Bruxelles to Amsterdam, just by referencing our Global Pass number ? Thanks very much for your help, the Eurail site lacks some linking information in this area.

Beste mede interrailer,Ik wil vanaf 8 februari met mijn digitale Interrail Global Pas naar Gallivare in Zweden reizen, omdat ik graag het noorderlicht wil zien. Voor deze reis heb ik alle treinen al gekoppeld aan mijn pas. Echter voor een viertal treinreizen is een stoelreservering verplicht. En dat is het probleem, omdat het me niet lukt om deze stoelreserveringen te kopen. Ik heb al van alles geprobeerd, maar helaas geen resultaat. Is er iemand, die mij verder kan helpen? Hartelijk dank 

Hello !I would like to travel from Liechtenstein to Brussels by train. To do this, I have to do Liechtenstein Zurich, then Zurich Frankfurt and then Frankfurt Brussels.My question is, when I book this journey on the Interrail app, will the app offer me to pay a supplement for the part where the train runs in Liechtenstein (since Liechtenstein is not part of the Interrail agreement)? Or how does it work ?Thank you very much for your help !

Hi, I was just hoping for some assistance. I have booked a couchette cabin on the 9.27pm overnight train tomorrow (January 14th) to Vienna.

(I have also attached screenshot)Would someone possible know why this is? I am worried for if we get on the train with the seat reservation but the eurail pass can’t find the train.thank you!  

Hello! I have the one month 2nd class Eurail global pass and I am trying to get from Basel to Paris in April 2023. I see I can get a direct train, but there is a high reservation fee. I have heard of a cheaper option to go from Strasbourg to Paris or Mulhouse Ville to Paris for a cheaper seat reservation. Unfortunately both the eurail website and https://travel.b-europe.com both say I can not book.I have been trying since early December and every time since I have gotten the same message: booking momentarily impossible. At first I thought it was from the holidays and then maybe after the new year, but I have been checking constantly and it looks like I can only book until March 26th. Since I need to travel in April I have no idea why it stops at that day and I am unable to book the seat reservation. I can also always take a longer train journey with no reservation but I guess I am just curious at this point why it is saying it’s impossible. I thought it might because of the Easter holi

People! I have two questions and I really need a little help. I’m thinking about choose the Global Pass for a 30 days trip. My first question is related to the seat reservations. How much it costs for example 2 class London to Belgium? Or an avarage value. Any answer will help me. The second question is wether I can travel by train in tha same city, for example Paris to Paris or Madrid to Madrid.  I really appreciate your answers!!

Hello everybody, I have bought a seat reservation to go from Venice to Rome, but the date is incorrect. I need to cancel that, because I already have a new one which is correct.But when I press cancel button, it is said that this reservation is non-refundable. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to recover my money ?Regards.

Hello everyone,I am planning to travel from Budapest to Vienna. I would like to book it on the OBB website and I wanted to know if booking a reservation seat is enough for this route as I own an Interrail Pass.Because I saw somewhere that it was only valid if the travel was starting from Austria so I want to be sure that it is also possible if the departure is from Hungary (Budapest).Thank you for your help !
