Train connections & reservations

Hola!!nos vamos de interrail este verano y estamos teniendo problemas a la hora de reservar asientos en la web de interrail, por ejemplo, entre Viena y Venecia (22 julio) y entre Zagreb y Split (26 julio). Nuestra duda surge porque no sabemos si tal vez es porque no se puede todavía reservar asientos, porque se han agotado, etc. Esperamos vuestra respuesta, un saludo y muchas gracias :)

I will be traveling from Paris to Rome in September with my three young children and partner. We have several stops along the way: Paris- Strasbourg- Basel- Zurich- Milan- Rome. All have short times between trains, but in Zurich, we only have 7 minutes! We are coming into Zurich from Basel on the IC 571 and need to catch the EC 329 to Milan. Is this possible? How do I find out where each platform is, etc? 

I have an eurail global pass. On Eurail it says “ Prices temporarily unavailable. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation. Going from rome to florence on 27 aug 18:10 trainBut I found it on ItaliaRail website, how do I book seat/reservation only so I don’t pay for the full price ticket? 

Hello. My family is traveling to Spain next week.We have purchased a Mobile Pass and downloaded the Rail Planner App. We are taking 5 different trains throughout our trip. I was able to find and add 3 of the trains by selecting them from the list of routes. I had to manually add 2 of the train routes as they were not showing on the list of available trains. Does it matter that I manually added the trains? I want to make sure those trains are in fact available on the days we are needing them.How and when can we make our seat reservations? Is it true that we cannot reserve our seats until we are at the train station or 24 hours in advance? I would like to do them now, so I don't have to worry about it once we are in Spain!Thank you!!

If it says $0 Canadian does that mean all the seats are sold out?  

Hey!Me and my girlfriend recently bought an interrail global pass that allows us to travel 5 days within one month. We already chose our destinations and it seems that we only have to make one reservation in our entire trip. For our first train, we travel from Bruxelles-Nord to Wien Meidling on June 27st. Our train leaves at 19:43 and directly goes to Wien, arriving at 9:11 the next day. I have been trying to make a reservation for the two of us with Interrail, Deutsche Bahn and CD, but all of the platforms indicated that the reservation was impossible. However, they didn’t give me any reasons for it. I was wondering if the train might already be fully booked, but when I tried to book via the Belgian railway (NMBS) platform, I didn’t get any problem notifications so there must be some places left. Could it then be that it’s still too early to make a reservation? Have you any suggestions for me? Would it be a good idea to go to the Bruxelles-Nord railway station and make the reservation

I cannot find the Caledonian Sleeper direct train from London to Edinburgh in the Rail Planner app. There are only options with one transfer. My questions are:(1) Is Eurail pass still valid on this train in 2022 whether it is a direct train or a train with transfer?(2) Is Eurail pass not valid on Caledonian Sleeper direct trains anymore now?Thank you!

Hey,I would like to travel from Zagreb to Split next week Monday!  I could not figure out seat reservation for the train only. Also I could not find the option of a night train, using the Croatian website,  only the one at 3pm -9pm . can someone help me?  

im catching a tgv from paris to geneva 29th June. it says booking is required. i tried to book but it seems to be fully booked.It says "Prices unavailable. No 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." Am i allowed to stand or sit on the train floor without a seat reservation. All the trains for the day say the same thing. I tried booking on other train sites and all say fully booked or don't give option. If I have an eu rail pass can I use that amd just stand on the tgv train, or is a seat reservation essential?

I have been trying both on the website and the app to book reservations but I can’t add a traveller.I have reached out to the customer service several days ago but no one got back to me and now my depart is imminent. Why is there no way to contact anyone about this?? 

So I wanted to double check that this journey doesn’t need a reservation at any point (the app says no but wanted to make sure) I posted about this the other day but just wanted to check as the train times have changed (although I’m not sure why as the original journey is still saved in ‘my trip’- does this mean that journey is no longer available?)What is the website where I can check Brussels train times. 

If I’ve decided to take a certain journey with a couple of change overs but the train is delayed meaning I miss my change overs, is it still possible for me to check which trains are ok for me to take with my pass and just take them? This happened the other day so I only completed half my journey from the ticket that was scanned and on the other half of my journey no one scanned my pass.  Basically what I’m asking, as long as it’s within 1 travel day is it okay to get as many trains as you like (if other trains are missed) and the scanning of the ticket doesn’t matter. 

Hi. I would like to book seat reservations for the trains from Hamburg Hbh to Verona. Bound for the 5th of August 2022 at 22:12, via München (arriving at 06.04 and leaving at 07.34) for Verona Porta Nuova at 13.26 on the 6th of August.  On the Eurail website it says that this trip is included in the interrail pass and that I don’t need seat reservations for any of the trains. However, I would like to be guaranteed a seat.  On the first train (Hamburg to München) I can book a seat via Eurail, but for the next train it says it is unavailable (perhaps because pass holders seats are sold out).  If I go to Deutsche Bahn I can book seats for the whole trip. My questions is therefore, if I can use these seat reservations for both trains? Or if I will be given a fine/taken of the train on the second train (München to Verona) if the pass holder seats are sold out?  Thank you so much for your help!

Can I get a train from Maidenhead to London and then to York using my Eurail pass?

For example, when I land in London or Amsterdam, can I use these two locations to reserve seats for Spain, Portugal, Italy? Eg salerno to Rome, Lisbon-Porto

Good evening,I have ordered my first reservation for TGV and Thalys this saturday through the interrail website.The payment succeeded, but right thereafter I got an 403 error. After refreshing a couple of Times I got a order confirmation that stated that i would receive the tickets within 30 minutes. It is 1 hour later and i still havent received An email. Also the tickets are not visible in my account.I have sent a support ticket but they try to reply within 2 days, but i already leave saturday 07:00 in the morning. I am shocked that there is no telephone number available either. As i have only used a german one country pass before, i never had any (reservation) issues before.Do you have any tips for me how to reach out for help? Thank you in advance, Kevin

I have purchased a railpass and have a train ticket in my app. I am traveling from Paris to Nice. I have to book a seat online, but when I try to do that, it says one leg of the trip is unavailable, but it doesn’t show which leg it is. I do not understand what I need to do in order to book this train. Please help!

Hello, I cant make a payment for a reservation on the app, can you help me?Also I tried on the website but I cannot book any trains because :“RÉSERVATION DES PLACES ASSISES NON DISPONIBLELa réservation est obligatoire à bord de ce train, mais elle ne peut pas être effectuée sur notre site Web. Consultez « Plus d'informations » afin de découvrir les autres options pour effectuer cette réservation, ou achetez un billet individuel pour emprunter ce train.”… what can I do to book my trip ?? Help me please !

Hi,I’m looking to book reservations for myself and a few others on the train from Celje to Budapest (06:24 on the 17th of July). Unfortunately I cannot seem to find anywhere to book this reservation without paying for an entirely new ticket. MAV want me to buy a new ticket and OBB, DB and SZ have no way of booking anything at all. Does anyone know if there’s a way?

Me and my 3 friends bought a paper pass for our interrail (we are going in one week), and we find it very difficult to buy the seat reservations we need on the eurrail website. For some of them it says that it has to be sent to us in the mail, but it wont be delivered before after our trip.. So does anyone know how we can fix the seat reservations either on a separate train website or on the eurrail website? (I tried booking through the hungarian train site, but i dint find anywhere I could only book seat reservation and not a train ticket as well)

Hello! I have a question about recommended seat reservations. I understand that it is not required, but what happens if I don't book a seat? Is there a chance that I'm not going to be allowed on a train or is it a matter of finding an actual sitting place? Essentially, I'm asking whether not booking a seat creates a risk of missing the train or is it simply a risk of standing instead of sitting?

we are planning a travel between alexandroupolis and thessaloniki. However, we could not find any train on their website and also interrail webpage does not include available train for that route. Is there anyone who have information about that? 

Hi! We have planned to continue from Berlin to Croatia on 23rd/24th/25th July, and I see there is a night train from Munich to Rijeka. It would be a fine alternative to catch this train to the other direction (Rijeka - Munich) on 30th or 31st July. However, it looks like all the trains are fully booked, at least there seem to be absolutely no couchette berths or sleepers available. Do you think they really are sold out, or is it just I don’t know where or how to look? Are all berths on sale already, anyway…? 

I have a global mobile pass, can I get my reservations digitally to my mobile phone, at checkout it tells me that reservations will be mailed by post.
