Train connections & reservations

I am trying to reserve some seats on the website but they won’t go through. If anyone has booked seats/beds on trains on these routes I would be grateful if you could let me know if you can book in person at the various stations.Bucharest to Vienna - Overnight trainZargreb to SplitParis to Tours Thanks in advance for your help.d :)

Queremos reservar dos trenes pero nos piden los boletos impresos y dice que no llegarán a tiempo y no nos permite reservar, queremos evitar tener que llamar a SFNC de Francia porque cobran por la llamada, como podemos reservar?Los viajes son Barcelona- Paris y Lyon Paris-Barcelona Sants

Hi , if a train is on the planner app but not on eurail online will that train still be going ahead ?

Hi,I’m wondering what happens if I book seat reservations for connecting trains and miss the second one due to the first one being delayed and it’s not the same operator. For example, I have booked a Eurostar train from Brussels to London and plan to go from London to Sheffield with East Midlands Railway directly after. If the Eurostar is delayed and I miss the second train, will I get refunded/get a new place reservation for the London-Sheffield route? And if anyone has travelled a similar route before, how big of a time margin do you think I should leave for the connection? Final question, it says that the Eurostar arrives at “St Pancras International” and the East Midlands Railway train departs from “St Pancras”. Are they the same station? (I’m from Sweden and I have a 1st class Global Interrail pass if that is necessary information) /Herman

I noticed that many trains don't require reservations, but at the same time many are saying to get a reservation just to be safe.  If I have a ticket thru the eurail app without a reservation (where no reservation is required), is it possible that no seat may be available for me because others have reserved all of them?

Hello, I have the problem that I can not currently buy seat reservations for my upcoming trip next week, explicitly it is about the relation Szczecin Glowny - Gdynia and Gdynia - Poznan (- Berlin). Now I have the problem that I can not buy seat reservations via the Interrail service, via PKP (the train provider) I can theoretically get Szczecin - Gdynia and Gdynia Poznan, but only with credit card which I do not have.So the following questions:1. can I somehow book through Interrail the above mentioned reservations?2. can I buy a reservation through the PKP service by bank transfer or similar ?Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Hi there, I have a train ticket for Paris Gare du Nord - Amsterdam Centraal on the 17th of July, 7:55 am. I've tried for over a month to reserve a seat, as it is mandatory, but was never able to book the reservation because the site was too laggy/buggy.  Today I tried again. And boom! The prices are unavailable and it says it might be due to the train being booked out. I've tried booking for other trains that day and even on the day before or after, to no avail. They all seem to be fully booked.  Anyone know what I can do? I've even tried going to my local train station, but they couldn't book the reservation for me. I've tried the SNCF website as well, but you can only book the full train tickets there. I'm freaking out, to be honest. My hotels are all non-refundable and it seems like I might have to cancel my trip because of this issue.

I purchased 4 reservations for 2 people for 2 legs of a journey from Lourdes, France to Barcelona, Spain 2 weeks ago.  I received an email from eurail confirming the purchase.  Attached to this email I received 2 reservations, that I printed, for 1 leg of the journey (from Toulouse to Narbonne).  For some reason they are MAILING the 2 other reservations (from Narbonne to Barcelona)and charging me for the postage, instead of just emailing them.  Eurail sent me an email on June 10th stating that the reservations are on the way and should be at my mailbox by 07-16-22, IN 5 WEEKS!  I'm not sure why in would take 5 weeks to get here, but the trouble is, WE'LL BE IN EUROPE BY THEN.  Is there another way of getting these reservations? Maybe at a train station? I emailed eurail this question 2 weeks ago and have received no reply to date. Thanks.Mark & Dana Carter

Hello! I bought my global passes yesterday but couldn’t make any reservations right away & now it’s not showing any seat reservation possibilities on August 1st, 23:51 train Ljubljana to Munich. If I look at RailEurope it’s showing it’s running/seats are available.  Any suggestions on how to book it?

Hi everybody,i'll take these trains, do you advise me to book seat reservation or not? and what will happen if I don't book and there will be no more seats?​​the trains are:Budapest-wien 12:40-15:21 6th AugustPrague-schwandorf 7:38-11:04 12th AugustThanks

Hi,I just purchased a Eurail Global 2 month pass.I am trying to travel from Paris to Luxembourg on Sunday 17th July, but am not able to make any reservations in the app (coming up as N/A), inOUI website, SNCB… I have read many guides online and even found the one created by this community - but it hasn’t helped for this particular route.I am feeling very lost - this is going to be my first train of my trip and I am feeling disheartened that it’s this hard!Wondering if someone is able to give me advice on how to book this journey! Thank you

I have been trying to make a required reservation on a train, but I keep getting this message: Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.It says "If no pass holder seats are available ...". Does this mean that there are only a certain number of seats allotted to Eurail Pass holders, even though there may still be seats available on the train?

Hi! My boyfriend and I are planning our big interrail trip but are getting stuck using the train planner that Interrail provides. When we try to find trains from Sofia to anywhere between Greece and Croatia there are no trains available even though there should be as seen in  the Interrail maps of possible train journeys. Until now we have only found some busses that could take us through these different countries, but of course our goal is to go by train if possible.Has anyone come by this issue as well? Has anyone found a solution?

I am trying to do seat reservations from Koln to Brussels. The B-Europe site (Belgium railways) shows seat available for full price tickets but none for Eurail Pass Holders. Can we still catch the train using the pass and hope that seats will be available?

This is my first time using the interrail (I have Interrail global pass.), so I’m a little bit new in this trains-world and I think I need your help, guys. I have read some posts where it is explained how to book the seats in differents websites, but I have tried to book the nightjet 469 from Paris to Salzburg on the 14th of July at 19:57 at oebb.at, and I couldn’t make it. As you can see in this picture, it says it is not possible.So I would like to ask you, if there is any other site where or how I can book this trip, because I tried also in bahn.de and it is not possible too :( Thank you,Héctor

does the train run on christmas holidays?

I tried to make a reservation the other day for four of us to travel from Amsterdam to Paris in mid July. After I paid $51 for this and made the reservation, I received tickets by email, but only for the part of the journey in France, from Lille to Paris. I think this may have something to do with how the different nations’ rail lines handle reservation, but I don’t know. Does anyone know why this is? If the other rail lines handle tickets differently, how do o get my hands on my reservations?

Hey everyone,I‘d like to book a seat on the TGV from Narbonne to Lyon (I have a 1 month global pass). A friend of mine has booked a regular ticket without an Interrail ticket for that train and told me her seat number. Does anybody know if I can select a certain seat so we can sit together? I’ve already tried but all I could select was if I want to have a window or aisle seat. Thanks for your help! :)

Hey,does anybody know, what the meaning of N/A referring to reservations means?Thabks for your answers!

some week ago i booked a seat reservetion for a train that required it, and it had to be sent to my adress.a few days ago I recieved an email that said that my order had been shipped, but today i got an email saying that there was a problem with the shipping and my payment of shipment has been refunded. looking at the tracker of the order it says that it is not even in my country yet.what can i do? and how can i get my tickets on time?thank you.

Hello,I received an email today stating that Thalys was cancelling my train from Brussels to Amsterdam and that I needed to exchange it or request a refund. Of course this is the third leg of a journey that will be starting in Barnsley, UK and I have no housing in Brussels and need to make an exchange to a later Thalys train (or get a refund and take whatever train I can get) — or take a different way to Amsterdam from London so I can still arrive in Amsterdam on the same day as originally planned.I tried calling the help line for Thalys, but the agent told me I have to make the exchange through Eurail, but I can’t find where I can do that on the website, and the help pages aren’t of any use.How do I make this exchange? A bit panicked, especially after living through the UK rail strikes! This journey has been a major disaster. The Global Pass needs more mobile ability if we’re supposed to book ahead when we’re not in a train station. But then can only rectify issues inside a train stat

HiI have Eurail global pass for 33 countries but i did not find the booking for the following: 1) BRATISLAVA HLAVNA STANICA (Slovakia) to STRBSKE PLESO (Slovakia) (24-07-2022)2) KRAKOW GLOWNY (Poland) to WARSZAWA CENTRALNA (Poland) 30-07-2022I am getting following message:Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board. Any one please help me in this booking. Is there any other alternate transport available using this pass. RegardsAbdul Qayyum  

Trying to book through b-europe because it won’t let me through Eurail. Literally no train options come up even though they did a week ago? The train isn’t sold out because going through b-europe the normal way (not the pass fare way) shows they are still available. Very frustrated because my only other option is to book in person, two days before we are set to leave Amsterdam.

I am attempting to book Stockholm to Copenhagen on 7/2/22 for 3 persons. None of the trains have reservations available. I purchased Eurail global passes. The same for Brussels to Paris. Do I need seat reservations?

does anyone know where I can book the EN 463 (night jet) from Munich to Budapest? I can only find the connection Munich-Vienna. The train is displayed everywhere, but there are no booking options.If the train is not running at the moment, is there an alternative to get from Germany to Budapest by night train?Thank you
