Train connections & reservations

Hello, I deciced to move from Vienna to Budapest on a train which does not require reservation. On the website the route seemed to be included in the pass, however I wanted to book a seat but when I tried to pay a message said that the route is not available. Does it mean that I cannot take the train or simply I cannot book a seat?

Hi there, we’re trying to book the night train to Craiova on the Thursday, the direct train, but it says only paper tickets are available. When we go to order paper tickets it says they won’t be posted in time. What can we do?  thanks! 

Hello, I have added a trip manually from Ljubliana (Slovenia) to Zagreb (Croatia) by bus, since it was all booked in the app. I do not know if I have to make a reservation or not on this bus. 

Hi! A friend and I are planning to travel to Italy this summer, but are having some confusion about the night trains. We want to take some trains at night, but the app says ‘+1 day’ for these trips. Does that mean that it takes 2 days off your pass? Because I read somewhere that that's not supposed to be the case as long as you board the last train before 00:00. For example, we want to take a trip that has one train fron 22:00 to 23:30, and then one from 23:45 to 7:00, but the app says ‘+1 day’, so we are confused about what that means. Can anyone tell us?

We are trying to travel from Budapest to Bled on the night of the 11th july. We have found a train from Budapest to Salzburg and we want to book the NJ from salzburg at 1:40 to lesce bled at 05:17. On OBB website it says this train is not available to book. Does that mean it is not running at all? If so can anyone suggest alternative routes from Budapest to Bled? Thanks

How much does it cost to cancel a night train reservation? And is the cost different if canceling within a certain amount of hours or a certain amount of days?   I am traveling from Amsterdam to Budapest anywhere between July 25 and July 27.  Also, how much are meals and water on the train?

Hi.Can you tell me:Will a Eurail Pass cover this trip; What is the fastest train; and How do I book?Thanks so much,Theresa

Hi! Hope this isn’t too appallingly annoying a first post on the forum! I love Interrail but have a major ticketing/reservations query. From posts on this website - a lot of them - and my own personal experience over the last many months, there seems to be something pathologically wrong with the availability of crossborder trains between Germany and France, like say the TGV 9552 or literally all of the others. Without a phone call to a reservations office - which I know is part and parcel of Interrail life but still a fair hurdle against easy use on such an important route - it is impossible to book these except at a railway station. It is completely impossible to book them online via DB or the Eurail.com system. This should not be the case because availability does exist.  Is there any way to resolve this in discussion with DB/SNCF, or to ask SNCB to expand the list of permitted stations in their online booking applet for Interrail passes? It seems like a minor technical fault which c

Bonjour,Hier, le 05/07 j’ai réservé deux trajets sur le site. Je voyage avec deux amies qui ont elles réservées sans problème. Or pour ma part j’ai eu le droit à un problème technique m’empêchant d’avoir mes places pour mes deux réservations. Dans le mails le service client précise que ma réservation est valide et qu’ils devraient résoudre le problème. Ils précisent également que je peux aussi me faire rembourser si mon voyage approche en répondant au mail et que je peux leur poser des questions en réponse au mail. Un peu sceptique et consciente que mes trains sont bientôt pleins, je leur ai envoyé un mail pour leur demander quand le problème sera résolu et s’il est sûr que j’ai bien une place dans ces trains. Mais pas de réponses. Je me stresse peut être un peu vite. Mais je voudrais savoir si cela est déjà arrivé à quelqu’un et si la commande a bien aboutie pour vous. D’autant plus que les trains réservés sont maintenant pleins. Merci d’avance,Axelle N

Im travelling from Vienna to Venice on the 24th of July (around 6am) and im having a lot of issues because the app and the reservation website show different trains. Here is my conversation with the community. I kept reading and i found out that i should just go on the OBB website and book a train there. However on the website it gives me 2 options to look for in a ticket after i say that I own an interrail ticket. when i say i just want a seat reservation it costs 6€. When i buy the one way ticket its 20€ (im buying 2 tickets btw). My question is if I need to buy the ticket aswell or does the interrail ticket cover that, and if it does, how do i get a confirmation or something i could show to a ticket inspector on the train?  

How do I get from Amsterdam Airport AMS to the train station traveling through Germany

I want to book a journey from Germany to England, using ICE trains in Germany and a Eurostar to travel to England. As ICEs are often delayed, I wondered what would happen if I miss the Eurostar due to a delay of the ICE before.Does my seat reservation then count for the next train or what would I have to do?Thanks for help!

Hello all, According with the EU Passenters Rights (1370/2007), the taveller has the choice to cancel, or abort the trip if the delayment will be minimum of 60 minutes (before, or during the trip). In this case the price of the ticket will be refunded for 100% (other-said: the double of the refund when the dalayment would be 120 minutes). Which Refund will Eurail give, if a trip will be aborted due to the above-called case? Examples: 1: The Night-Train Paris-Wien was cancelled and no replacement-train, or bus was set in to bring the traveller to his destination? Traveller has decided to cancel his trip to Vienna. 2: The train from Innsbruck to Zürich was too late and connected-train in Sargans could not be reached,, next train starts 60 Minutes later and will be 60 minutes later in Arosa, so the trip to Arosa became due to the 60 Minutes delayment useless and traveller decided to break-up the trip in Sargans and travels with the samne train further to Zürich, instead of Arosa.

Hello!I’m planning my trip around Europe and I plan to leave my home country soon. The only thing is that I can’t seem to find an answer to a couple of my questions. I hope you guys can help me!If I have 3 connecting trains on my trip from Aarhus (DK) - Warszawa (PL), (Aarhus - Hamburg, Hamburg - Berlin, Berlin - Warszawa) the same day, will they count as 1 travel day?And how do I write it down in my pass? (I would love to see an example) Do I write every single journey and connecting train or just Aarhus - Warszawa?Do you prefer the mobile pass or the paper pass? (I haven’t bought one yet, but I need to decide soon)How does it work with one in- and outbound day for your home country? Lets say I buy a 7 day 1 month pass - does the two days I travel to and from home count as 2 out of the 7 days?Thank you Tips and tricks are very welcome!
