Train connections & reservations

In Athens to Thessaloniki, eurail states that it needs to reserve seats. Its website cannot reserve. And its how to ask us to book online. Then it's local train web site doesn't have this pass actually. So you MUST go to the train station counter for this. I dont understand how difficult it is to update this piece of important nformation in nowadays information world. It can be very hectic to find it out. So just a tips for the others. 

Im Oktober 2023 möchte ich mit ca. 25 15-jährigen Schülern von Murcia (Spanien) nach Stuttgart fahren. Könnte ich für diese Schüler Interrail-Tickets kaufen und 25 Plätze in den Zügen reservieren?

Hi community,What should I fill in the first two fields that I highlight in green in the following image, when I request that reservations be sent to a Hostel.For example, can I put the name of the hostel in the first field and my name in the second field?:First Field: Hostel YYYYSecond Field: My full names and surnames: Iván Fernando Peluha. As a shipping address I would put the Hostel in Spain.This is how it should be processed? I must validate this because if I fill it out wrong I can lose the reservation.   I’ll be waiting for an answer and thank you very much.

Hi there, Travelling from Australia next year I am looking at train travel from Zagreb to Treviso and it has a 3.5 hour stopover in Villach around 1am.  Is this safe?  Is there a lounge? Can you stay at the station?  Any information would be appreciated.   thank you.

Hi! I’m currently in Dijon and heading to Rueil-Malmaison today.The only trains that are available for reservation have me arriving past 18:00 and i’d really like to arrive earlier, even if it means taking the regional train for a lot longer travel time. I haven’t done a reservation-free trip in France yet, so I’d like someone to check my work and maybe offer suggestions if I’m missing anything? QUESTIONS -what’s the best way to receive the most up to date train updates for reservation-free trips in France? I was using the SNCF website and toggled only TER and Bus (I need to take a bus to Rueil-Malmaison and i know i need to pay for that). Is there another way I can check since Railplanner doesn’t update often? I worry because we’ve been advised here not to use Railplanner, but without Railplanner as an initial check, I wouldn’t clearly know what Train lines are regional or not.  I can just hop on any France TER train without a seat reservation? Just verifying if someone has time to do

Hey, my travel buddy is french and eventually, we end up in London and want to take the Eurostar to Amsterdam. Even though it´s a direct train we inevitably travel through France. Does it count as an inbound or even in- and outbound journey for her, although the final destination is Amsterdam and not any french city?Cheers, Marius

Hi, I hope I can get some help with the following questions.I understand that when travelling on a night train, I will only have to use 1 travel day (the day of departure). However, for the Halkali - Sofia night train, where there is a need to disembark at Kapikule for passport control, is the train ride still counted as one travel day? Also, on the Rail planner, the currently available itinerary for the Halkali - Sofia route consists of a train change at Plovdiv. Does anyone know if the direct train that departs at 2240 (during winter) is still running? I have reserved a sleeper cabin on a NightJet that departs the station at 2313. Should there be a delay in the departure time of the train such that it departs after 2359, do I have to use another travel day or will the original date be taken as my travel day?I have bought a 7-day flexible pass and my current travel plan unfortunately does not leave room for any buffer day so your answers would help me determine if there is a need to m

Hello everyone! I’m hoping someone will have some tips or advice for me! My fiancé and I are traveling through France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. We are from the USA and bought Eurail Global passes. We were able to get seat reservations except for the Paris-Amsterdam Thalys train on 11/6/22. I’m stressed out about it! We won’t be in France until 11/3 to go to the train station and buy one in-person and I’m worried they will run out. SNCF is showing that there are still seats, but I heard they won’t book seat reservations from a pass over the phone, and I’ve tried multiple websites. Is there anything I can do? It’s frustrating because I would not have bought the passes had I known this would be such a big issue.  Thank you in advance!

I have tried online, books and various chats, including national train companies and nobody seems to know how to travel from central europe (Germany or Austriafor example) to Serbia. It is a long trip which I do not mind but I do not want to just go without and schedule or reservations.  My own travel in the past was before Yugoslavia broke up so that doesn’t hrlp

Hi everyone, I'm planning to go from Berlin to Copenhagen and this night train seems very convenient but I don't understand if that'd use one or two travel days? I'd get in the night train on the 30th, arrive on the 31st in Denmark and then would have to take a connection on the 31st, would that be one or two travel days?Thanks in advance

As the trip around Balkans is not factible, my friends and me are looking for a new route.We have thought about going:Venice-MunichMunich-VienaViena-LiublianaLiubliana-Zagreb and back home. But we don´t know exactly if there is a good comunication between Viena-Liubliana or Italy-Munich. We try to search for the itinerary of the trains but we don’t find nothing. I suppose that it can be because we are planning the trip for next summer.If someone could help me, I would be so pleased. Thank you!

I need to make Spanish reservations by phone tomorrow (= less than 72 hrs before I arrive in Spain), using the number given on this site.Can anyone tell me, do they have to email you the reservation number(s), or do they just read them out to you over the phone? My Spanish is OK, but I can see I might have problems either writing down “ERRE… CHOTA… THERO...” etc, or else spelling out my email address in the same way!Thanks for any info - it doesn’t seem to be explained on the Spain reservations instructions page.
