Train connections & reservations

Il mese scorso ho acquistato le prenotazioni dei treni che necessitavano di un supplemento, sia quelli cartacei, che quelli digitali. I biglietti digitali mi sono giunti il giorno stesso per mail, mentre quelli cartacei sono stati spediti qualche giorno dopo, tuttavia non sono ancora arrivati, tracciando la spedizione sembra che il pacco sia in Italia, ma non si sa quando giungerà a destinazione. Dato che tra pochi giorni devo partire per l'interrail mi chiedevo se fosse possibile ricevere un documento digitale che certifichi i posti sui treni da me acquistati.

Hi guys!I want to travel from zagreb to rijeka. In HZ (national train transport company), which is related to interrail, there is a direct trip from zagreb to split which would be perfect for us, but in the reservation app of interrail it doesnt appear. Instead, there is another one that makes an stopover in Ljubjana (Slovenia), but we only have teh one country pass, so… What can we do? Could we take the direct train without reservation? Or should we take the global pass in order to go to ljubjuana? Isn’t there any option to make the stopover in Ljubjana without having the global pass? Thanks!

We have yet to activate our passes for our trip to Europe at the end of august and we just reserved seats on one of the legs of our trip, only to realize that my fiancé is listed as a female. Does this mean his eurail pass too will say he is “Ms?” If so, is it a big deal or do I need to do something about it?

Hey guys,I’ve been a lurker since I bought my 2 month global pass but it seems like it will fail on the 5th day.Our ticket were supposed to arrive two weeks ago with PostNL but unfortunately the postman marked the parcel as refused without trying to deliver it or ring our bell or give the neighbors or give it to the post office . The parcel is now it’s on its way back to interrail. I tried to contact interrail via email and chat support but they’re not answering. I talked with PostNL but they apparently don’t have any control over it and only the sender can resend it. I talked with SNCF but the woman said she can’t book me another ticket because it’s booked out. We are leaving Germany in 3 days. Marseille is our second stop after Paris. Does anybody know what other options there are? We have reservation but we don’t have the paper ticket. Can we get a copy ticket in Paris office? Do you think interrail will ever answer to us? Even if they do will it every arrive on time? Do you thinks

Hi all, my husband and I are planning to take the train from Venice to Milan, with one folded bike in a case. Can we take the fast train with the bike, or will we have to take a regular one? Thanks!Wendy

At this moment we are staying in Slovakia but we are planning to go to Krakow. It is not possible to book a seat online, so we will have to do that in Ostrava (that’s where we will start the trip to Poland). However, we are afraid the train will be fully booked by that time.. Has anyone travelled to Krakow recently and can tell us how busy the trains were? 

Hello, I am planning to go interrailing in three weeks and starting to book train reservations. I noticed that, for example, when travelling from Wien to Bratislava, Rail Planner App says that you don’t need a reservation. But how can I be sure that there is room in the train 3 weeks from now if I don’t book a seat?? This is making me stress a lot because I don’t want any surprises, like missing the train, when travelling😅

Hi,I’d like to take an overnight train from Hamburg to Copenhagen. On the official Interrail website it says that reservations aren’t required, but in the official Interrail app it says that they are. Which one is correct?Thanks!Anna

Hi there! So I’m in Barcelona right now and yesterday I went to the train station to get a seat reservation to Bordeaux St Jean and they told me I could only get one for the transit train to Nerbonne, wich I did and the seat reservation from Narbonne to Bordeaux I should get when I’m in France or online. But when I was trying to get it online It asks me for a “Interrail cover number” but the thing is I have the mobile pass and not the paper format. I won´t be in france until exactly the day of my journey, and the missing seat reservation is for the train I would need…. so it would be really risky to wait until minutes before departure to go in person to the service at the station and ask for buying the seat reservation. That is really risky. If that doesn´t work, I lost the following connections for what I already have reservations.Could somebody with experience on this help me, please? I cannot believe that this risky way is really the only way…Thanks a lot in advance!Cheers,Tim.

Hey I wrote a delay compensation. But I didn’t get any receive email that the check that. It that normal that you don’t get an automatic email? Or what can I do 

Hi guys,I'm planning to travel from Karlstad (Sweden) to Oslo (Norway). The app tells me to buy seat reservations for both trains that I have to take. However I am unable to book the reservation for the train that enters Norway trough the interrail website. How do I make my reservation instead and is this an issue common in Norway?Thank you for your help in advance!Marie :)

I have recently paid for seat reservation tickets but got no confirmation email afterwards, similar to many users here. I have read through the posts and the consensus is that the order did not go through, I am to wait for a refund/raise a ticket (which I have done). Another question to ask is I understood I can book for “seat only” tickets on https://www.oebb.at/ for my Venice → Rome leg. However for my Paris → Basel Sbb, I cannot seem to find a website online that I can book seat reservations for the TGV Lyria. So where else should I look? (Considering I might not want to wait till few days before the trip to buy at the physical station)I hope some of the more experienced community members here might be able to help me figure it out, thank you!

I just found out that the Stockholm - Hamburg EuroNight Train will only consist of couchette cars.https://www.sj.se/en/travel-info/sj-euronight/cancelled-journeys.htmlMy friend I already booked our reservation for a seat car. We will be using an EU Interrail Ticket Global Pass and therefore only have the reservation and not a ticket itself.The news update explains that if our journey is cancelled we will be informed one week before our trip. This is honestly an incredible short notice and we would like to search for alternatives if we are affected.Is there any information if our ticket will be canceled before that? Is it possible to use a different train and reschedule to that one even if it takes longer?We already started a chat with SJ customer support. They told us that the train is already full so we can no rebook to the couchette cars reservation. If we want a refund for the reservation of 34€ per person we would need to contact Inter Rail where we book the reservation but we were

Since the eurail reservation has not been working for the past two days, I’m trying to book seat reservations through italiarail.com. There, I found a help article (https://www.italiarail.com/pages/italia-rail-reservations-and-supplements) with these instructions:Reservations can be made directly at a train station or by using the City to City search tool on our website. For seat reservation booking choose "I have a railpass".The trouble is, I don’t see that option anywhere when I try to book one. Does anyone know how to do so?

Me and 3 other friends are planning to go from Belgium to Zagreb by train. When I want to book my reservations at the interrail site it says we need to make a reservation for going from Munich to Zagreb. The only option is by paper ticket, but the delivery date is too late so I looked at the OBB site to make a reservation. It says there are no tickets available. Does this mean that the train is fully booked or I need to get my reservations on another site??Also on the Deutsche Bahn site it says reservations are impossible…. 

If I reserve and pay for seats on a train through Interrail does the reservation appear on my ticket or do I need to print it off 

I was hoping to do this trip:Brussels/Paris - ViennaVienna - HamburgHamburg - Stockholmbut unfortunately for early September these are sold out. Are there any other night trains that are a bit less popular and I’d still be able to get reservations for the first few weeks of September?Also the new Hamburg - Stockholm sleeper seems to be completely unavailable right up to mid-December. I can’t find a single date that has booking available. Is that because every single ticket has been sold out?

Hello everyone,I am currently in Thessaloniki and want to go to Ljubljana, but I’m having a lot of difficulty finding a bus or (night)train that has this route.I’ve already contacted customer service, but since I’m leaving tomorrow I want to try everything I can.So: does anyone know of a bus or train route from Thessaloniki to Ljubljana, preferably included in my Interrail Global Pass. Thanks in advance. Stijn

Hello! I'm in Italy currently and I'm having trouble using the Trenitalia self-service ticket machines to make reservations for Eurail. Does anyone have experience doing it successfully?According to the Eurail website "At a self-service machine at main Italian train stations. Select your train and click on "Global Pass". This seems really out of date and doesn't make sense. I can't see any Global Pass option at all.I'll head to ticket office to make reservation a little bit later (I was too short on time to queue earlier), just checking if I'm missing something.

i bought the pass from the browser, then i added it to the app and went to create the trip on the app. if i go back to the browser to book the trains the trip that i have on the app doesnt appear but an other one that was automately created is there. can i buy and book the train even tho there trips are not the same or i have to find a way to solve this?

The train I made a reservation for got cancelled by Thalys and I received the information per email that I can get a free exchange or refund. The train departs at Amsterdam Centraal on the 15th of September and goes to Paris North.When I want to cancel my reservation, I would only get back 75% of the reservation costs and the database still shows this train even though it got cancelled, so I assume that is why I am not able to get back the full cost yet.I already sent a request to the customer service two days ago; however, I can’t estimate how long I must wait for a response. Since this is a popular (and pricy) route and requires a reservation and there is less than a month left, should I already make a new reservation for an earlier train and then hope to get back full refund later or should I just wait for customer service to reach back to me?Other suggestions are appreciated as well! :)

Hello I am trying to book seat reservations but am unable to proceed to Traveler Details in the checkout.  The Traveler Details button is available and clickable, but nothing happens when I click it.  I have all fields filled out properly.
