Train connections & reservations

Hello again!I’d like to go from Madrid to Porto on the 4th of July. Since I already looked up this question I know that some others tried or want to try the same thing. i k ow there is no direct train from Madrid to Porto but does anybody know an alternative route?  I only found a bus which drives between Madrid and Porto. Currently the price is about 13€ and it would take 9-10 hours I think. 

Hello there,consider this:I’m from Germany (Eastern Germany to be exact, that is also important for my question) I’ve got a global Pass that is valid for 2 MonthsI have read through many different situations on this forum but still can’t find an answer to the following question: I will be in France and want to travel back to Germany but I do not want to waste my inbound journey for a weekend in my hometown. I know that I can travel through Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Czech Republic. And I will do so. I found a nice night train that runs from Zürich to Prague without stopping in Germany - so far so good- but it still goes through Germany for some km. Am I allowed to use this? I sent a picture of the running Map of the train right down there.I’ll just take the s-bahn with my 9-Euro Ticket from the border of Czech Republik for the last Meters.I am looking forward to your answers! 

Hello,I had trouble booking seat reservations via the Interrail reservations page for Brussels-Paris Thalys operated train so I called the customer service and bought the reservation there. I have a global 2nd class interrail pass and I was told that they are out of 2nd class seats but can sell me the comfort seat. I said I’ll take that since I thought that maybe then I’ll just be charged with a higher fee (the reservation was 25 €). When I got the reservation via email, it said pass comfort and 1st class. Now I’m worried that can I actually use this reservation with my 2nd class pass.

Hi , I'm travelling to Italy, mostly Rome and Tuscany and i wonder if I can use the Interrail pass from the airport or if i have to buy another ticket for this trip

Hi ! I want to make a seat reservation from Paris to Brussels on next september 17th and received the message “Prices unavailable.  No prices result...etc” that have already seen in another topics.  Can anybody help me to solve it ? Thanks very much in advance

Hello,what train line should I use to book a ticket from Wales(Bangor), London, Bath, Paris, Caen, Strasbourg and Troyes?  7 destinations in 1 month. 

Hello!I just bought a seat reservation on the Czech Republic train website for a train from Pagra to Budapest where seat reservation was mandatory. In the purchase of the ticket I have only put my name, he has not asked me for anything about the interrail pass. It is normal?And can someone explain to me how the process of taking a train is, that is, I have to show both the ticket (QR) of the interrail pass train from prague to budapest and the QR of the seat reservation, right?Thank you!

I have a mobile pass. I got the pass to use on Eurostar. I cannot reserve a seat on the Interrail site. It goes in a loop. I go the to booking tool. I choose the train. It shows ‘reservation required’ on the train. There is a dialogue to click ‘how to book your reservation’. Clicking on it sends it back to the booking tool.

I'm due to make an inbound trip with a Global Pass to the north of England on 25 June, when there is now a major strike planned.  Assuming the Eurostar runs but I can't get the onward train home from London, will it be possible to extend my inbound trip to the following day and if so who should I ask to do this?

Need a pass cover number for my mobile pass right now, could someone assist me with this?

Hello,My friends and I are planning on doing an Interrail trip this summer and we had a question about the seat reservations. Some trains seem to be fully booked on the days we were planning on taking them but the seat reservations are not required to board the train. Is it possible to still take the train without sitting down or is the seat required to board the train ?Thank you for the help,Louise

Hi I made five seat reservations yesterday for the Paris to Bordeaux Train ( In August )  There is a glitch, which means that when I select the 17.11 train, the 16.11 train is indicated ( screenshot attached )  however when you fo through to review order, the 17.11 is indicated again. My reservations have arrived, but they are for the 16.11, which is too early for our connection. Is there a helpline/ email address I can contact to correct this?  Has anybody else experienced the same problem?  Thank you Faye    

Hi, I’m trying to work out how to book the seat reservations for the EC 130 from Bratislava to Krakow on the 12th June at 10:59 but can’t work it out?  

Hey :)i am planning my first interrail trip and our route is now trough Denmark to Stockholm, from Stockholm overnight with the Tallink ferry to Turku and from there staight to Helsinki.In Helsinki we want to take the Santa Clause Express Nighttrain to Rovaniemi but i am encountering a few problems while looking for reservations on this train. I have already seen this site which says that the train is included in interrail and lists prices. We want to book a cabin for two people with an own shower which should cost 49€ p.p. according to the interrail site. On the vr website i could’nt find an option to look up the prices with an interrail pass so i went to a train station. Here they said, that they also cant look up the prices for late august, which i assume is due to the fact, that you can only book 60 days in advance. Is that correct or is it possible, that the cabins are already gone?And when the lady looked up an earlier date, to see the possible prices, they were 120€ for that cab

Hi there. I have kept trying to get in touch with Eurail or Interrail over the last couple of weeks but haven’t heard anything back, so am trying here instead. I’m trying to book a Eurostar with an interrail mobile pass but everywhere says I need a Pass Cover Number, which I don’t have as it is a mobile pass. This seems a pretty significant flaw in the system which they should tell you before you choose a mobile pass. It looks like people have been sent private messages with pass cover numbers through this thread so I am just trying to see if I can get some help quicker through here as I am worried about our trains being booked up before I hear anything. Does anyone know how this might happen? Many thanks

I had hoped to book the complete space for a family of 5 to travel in comfort, it is the first time for the girls and travelling overnight with an additioanl stranger is going to be challenging for them. Unforatunaly the very helpful SNCF assistant could not inform me whether we were to be travelling with an additiaonl Male or Female.When I look at the Trainline app ( UK booking site) , their option for booking five people is as shown and doesn’t seem to want to group us together!! I am wondering if this if why there are no empty couchette, as I was informed that there was one person in each carriage??Any advice would be appreciated. 

Hello!Me and my friends are travelling in July from Paris to Madrid and seat reservations aren’t available online. That’s why we tried to call Deutsche Bahn since I saw someone recommending it, but nobody answered. Does anyone has any more recommendations how to book this seat reservation, since I would like to have it before we come to Paris?

Bonjour j’ai une question !Avec un pass interrail est-il possible de descendre à un arrêt qui n’est pas le final ? En exemple :Sur un trajet Oslo - Bergen est-il possible de descendre à Haugastol puis de reprendre le train à un autre horaire depuis Haugastol direction Bergen ? Le tout sans payer de supplément. En soi est-il possible de prendre un train à partir d’un arrêt qui n’est pas une grande ville mais qui fait partie du trajet interrail ? merci a vous 😁

Hi,Just wondering if there are any experienced rail travellers on here who could advise please?We have reserved our eurostar connections, but most of the others we are doing say “You can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required”.  Are we likely to be able to get on the trains? Do they get really full?  Thank you! 

Hi,I am looking for a reservation on the train TGV 9713 of 07/16 at 10:10, but the site says prices unvailable. Are there other ways to book the train? (I live in Italy).Thank you for your consideration.

I ordered my seat reservations to be delivered to the hostel I am staying in Prague (8 to 11 June) and have received confirmation from Interrail Customer Services that they are on their way with a link to PostNL and a track & trace number. When I check the delivery status it says “the item is being held, addressee being notified” but I haven’t received any messages and the hostel do not have the tickets.  I do not know who to contact in Prague to check where the tickets are and if they’ll be redelivered.  Please advise.thanks 

The interrail reservations service on their website does not seem to be working for french trains, anyone know a good website to reserve high speed train seats from Lille to Toulous. Must be able to work with the mobile pass. Thanks.

Hello,We are two students who have the Global Pass and want to go to Norway from 6th to 14th of July. We have seen that we have to book a seat on 3 of the trains that we want to get. They are the followings:REG 80605REG 80065REG 80062The problem is that the web page only gives us the option of delivering the tickets to us by post mail and even doing it more than one month in advance, when we enter our address (in Spain) the web sais that they calculate that the tickets will not arrive on time.What can we do about it?

For Barcelona sants - Portbau trains on the 6th July 2022, there’s trains on the eurail planner website at 8:15, 9:16, and 10:00 that don’t appear on the railplanner app. Also for the trains that are on both the website and railplanner (8:16 and 10:16) the website has the reservation details as “unavailable” but the railplanner app lists them as fine to travel on. I’m just curious what is going on with this line, I’ve heard that RENFE doesn’t share their timetables very well, but taking the 9:16 would be preferable to the 10:16 and it would be good to know if the train even exists.

Hey guys,currently I am planing my trip. I want to travel from Bordeaux to Boulogne-sur-Mer. The Rail Planner App says that I have to switch the train station in Paris by transferring with the public transport.But I don’t know how long it would take to transfer and how many time I have left until the next train is coming.is there a possibility to find that out?Greetings
