Train connections & reservations

I'm planning on travelling from Barcelona tot Madrid next week, but you can't make online reservations for Spanish domestic trains. I've found the forum about making a reservation for Spanish domestic trains but I find all options quite complicated except booking on the spot at a Spanish ticket office. Is it too risky not to try to make the reservation in advance but booking it a day in advance when I get in Spain so I can go to a ticket office once I'm there?

Hello, I would like to know what "no reservation needed" means, because it sometimes shows the price to book a seat but says that I am ready to travel.Thanks in advance ;)

Hi I have a 1st class eurail pass, I have a travel Brussels to London at the 18th of July. All seats looks reserved, and "Reserve a seat is obligatory". What should I do? I can't travel?

Hello, I Want to take the RJX261 train from Wien to Budapest tonight, at 21:43. The interrail app says I need an obligatory seat reservation. However, I think according to Austrian trains official website this reservation is not obligatory. I'm not sure about It so, can anybody solve my doubt? Thank you

Hi, I’m going interrailing for the first time next week. One journey we are trying to find a way to book is Marseilles → Barcelona on August 10th, but we are struggling to do so because it seems like we can only book a paper ticket. We are leaving the country on Tuesday though and it says it will take 2 weeks to be delivered, which is obviously when we won’t be home. Can we just book a ticket when we arrive in Marseilles on July 6th, or will this be too late? Thanks.

Hello, I have booked seat reservations for my friend and myself for our first travel day. I have saved the journey in my rail planner app and activated it as a travel day. My friend, though, is unable to do the same as the journey is sold out and therefore does not appear in the app anymore. How is she then supposed to have a valid, activated ticket for the journey? As mentioned before, both of us have a valid interrail pass as well as booked seat reservations for the journey.We are looking forward to receiving help as soon as possible!Kind regards,Signe Marie Juul Nielsen

Could anyone help with some advice?! I am planning on going to Paris next week (20th July 2022) but I can’t seem to find any seat reservations available?  if anyone can give me any advice (I’m happy to take long routes and different changes if it means I can get to Paris with my interrail pass!)  thank you!!!

So I have planned a long trip home to Sweden. I will travel night jet from Zuerich to Hamburg, arrival 07:54 the 19th. And then I had saved a train that didn’t need reservations from Hamburg to Fredericia that departed 08:56 and arrived 12:14 in Fredericia. From there I would take a train to the Copenhagen airport and from there to Stockholm. The problem is that interrail has removed the train from Hamburg to Fredericia on the 19th? This really messes up my journey because with other trains I will not make it to my train to Stockholm. The thing is also that the train still exists, for example the Deutsche Bahn website still has it. Why would I not be able to travel on my interrail on that train? Or do you think I can take the train and then just show my pass without an actual qr-code, since I will not be able to add the journey to my trip. Please help me, I’m traveling soon!!!

Hi ….May I know how to get to Tromso. Thanks. 

Hello On the 18th of july we want to travel from Pula to Ljubljana (stay the night) and the next day within 24 hrs to Graz. If you type Pula - Graz via Ljubjana it doesnot give an option so I planned two trips. Will this be seen as one trip within 24 hrs (because i have two qr codes)? I am afraid it will count as two days. Or is it better to make a trip from Pula to Graz and then ignore the fact it is going via Maribor for example?

Hello, I wanted to book a reservation from Kil (Sweden) to Kongsvinger (Norway) today, because its required. But the reservation side doesnt list the train we want to travel with (19:55).

Hello! I’m needing to travel from Geneva, Switzerland to Barcelona, Spain on the 17th of July 2022. I’ve been checking everyday  but every given route has reservations unavailable.

Hi guysmy home journey does not show in the app so I wanted to add it manually. However I have to to change in my home country. As I need to add every leg separately it will have a journey within my home country which is not allowed. Any ideas how to overcome this? thanks!!!

I’m trying to book the night train from Naples to Turin (InterCity Notte 35496) but can’t find it listed in the reservation section of the Interrail site.  On the TrenItalia site, the train shows up as having plenty of seats available in all classes of travel, but there’s no way to connect a reservation to my interrail pass. Does anyone know how to do this?Thanks!

Beste reizigers,24/7 kom ik per Thalys aan in Parijs Noord om 19.35. Ik wordt 26/7 in Riposto, Italië verwacht. Het lijkt mij het beste, snelste van Parijs naar Milaan te reizen zo mogelijk per nachttrein. Vervolgens Milaan - Riposto. Heeft iemand suggesties om deze reis zo snel en goedkoop mogelijk te regelen? Ik heb zelf een beetje rondgekeken maar loop steeds tegen urenlange overstappen midden in de nacht aan. Daar zie ik erg tegenop. Mocht ik ergens mogelijk vroeg in de avond aankomen dan is een overnachting geen probleem mits ik maar uiterlijk 26/7 in de avond in Riposto arriveer..…Mijn hartelijke dank, Celesta
