Train connections & reservations

Hi there,I’m making my outbound journey on Eurostar (London Kings Cross to Bruxelles Midi). I’ve got the journey in my pass on the app and I’ve made the reservation and have the pdf for my eurostar reservation.However, the ‘ticket’ for the journey in the app is still showing as ‘seat reservations required’. I made the reservations over 12 hours ago so I was expecting to see in it the app by now. Is something missing? Or am I alright as long as I have the reservation pdf?Thanks,Caroline

When trying to book a sleeper train from Bucharest to Budapest everything works until you get through to the point of “review your order” before paying and then the error message in the screenshot comes up. What do I do? I have tried this with multiple different journeys and on various days. Would greatly appreciate the help! Thank you. 

In rail planner I put in want to go from Amsterdam to Zurich on April 23rd after 12 noon.It gave me the trains and I selected one. I went to reserve seats now it says the following. Why would it give me the trains if one not available? How do I know what trains are alternatives?Is there a way to have the planner give me trains that are available?Very frustrating trying to use this planner and app as well.ThanksFrank   

On July 21, my family and I will travel from Riomaggiore to Levanto, then on to Milan.Based on the current schedule, and what I see in Eurail.com, I’m fairly confident that we’ll be able to catch one of the frequent ‘Terre Express’ trains that go between La Spezia and Levanto.Does anyone know when the ‘Terre Express’ schedule will be extended beyond June 11, to include July 21?The impression I get from Eurail.com, and some posts in the Community is that it’s not possible to  reserve Terre Express seats online.  Is that true?As I understand it, our Eurail passes will allow us to board free of charge.  But will we have to first show our passes at the station ticket window?

I plan to travel from Porto to Vigo, from Vigo to Barcelona en from Barcelona to Paris in three days. Therefore I have to buy the Seat reservation at the same days as I travel. In Vigo my train leaves at 07:42, is the desk allready open at that time? As I arrive in Vigo at 22:34 the day before I am afraid time is too short to get my Seat reservation.

I am trying to plan my upcoming trip, but cannot seem to figure out how to book reservations from Zermatt to Milan. I am looking into journeys that require minimum transfers, and they all seem to require a Eurocity train. On the railplanner app, it says to make reservations for the EC trains through various websites, however all of those websites say that seat only tickets are not possible to book. Everyone website just says “reservations impossible” Can someone please help with this?

I reserved two tickets from Amsterdam to London but the confirmation email I received had to tickets attached to it.  Even when I checked my reservations page in my eurail account they were not there to be downloaded.  My trip is coming up very soon and customer service said they would reply within a week but I’m not sure they’ll be quick enough.  Is there any way to contact them that guarantees a quicker response?

I paid for seat reservations, and got the confirmation email that said tickets were attached.  However they were NOT!  The reservation is visible on the Eurail website, but it does not show “Booked” as the another reservation does.  And, there is nowhere to click to see what happened to that reservation.  I’ve tried to contact customer service for other questions and never get a response.  I need help.  Is there anywhere else to go to get this resolved, so I can continue to book our additional reservations.  I don’t trust the system to start making more reservations if it’s broken somehow.  I paid for the tickets, and I’d like to get them.  A confirmation isn’t enough!  Is there any way to fix this without waiting weeks for customer service to respond?

May I have your help with a problem? I am unable to purchase seat reservations on https://www.oebb.at/en/ because the Eurail Pass is not listed among the accepted options, and for other reasons, described below.July 6 10:50 AMRailjet #1312nd ClassVillach Hbf to Venizia Saint LuciaIn his article 'Community > Get ready to travel > Train connections & reservations > How to get Reservations :)', seewulf describes how to book a seat reservation for a night train on that site. But a night train is not what I want, and I'm unable to reproduce the result that he shows - "Ad the end of the list of discountcards you should find Interrail/Eurail. Just click on it and after that "Confirm" under the list and finally Confirm at the top right corner". I'm unable to reach the point where I can select a Seat Reservation.For all trains between those points, the site states 'Ticket Not Available'. For some scheduled trains, there's a link that states "Due to construction work in Italy, this

I am trying to book a seat reservation for Brussels to London.  The screen comes up that there is a change of train, but there is not.  It shows Bruxelles-Midi (Belgium), the the same words again with 35 minutes between them.  Can someone explain why?  I just want the one train from the second Bruxelles-Midi listing.  I can’t figure out what the additional 35 minutes is for and why it shows up.  I’m afraid to book this train without knowing the meaning of it.

So, I make my Reservations that will be on 3 Trains. I then get a text that the first train will arrive 45 minutes later than scheduled, sorry for the inconvenience, etc. I need to make reservations on an earlier train. However when I go to cancel my tickets I am told that they will give me back 68 cents U.S. on a ticket that cost 30.51 plus booking fee??? I cannot find a way to just exchange them. Now the tickets have gone up to 64 U.S. and I can’t get an answer from Eurail. Had this same problem in 2019.

I want to travel form Amsterdam to Marseille in one day.Will I be able to make a reservation on Thalys/TGV just before my trips start or will the train probably be fully booked (especially on popular days)? And does that mean I have to try on another train?

Hi All, I have been trying all evening to book for an 8th April morning train from London St. Pancras to Brussels via Eurostar. I was having issues getting any sort of booking for 2nd class even though on the Eurostar website itself there are still available slots for morning trains. I have been trying my best to lurk around other posts and have found info on requesting Pass Cover Number from the support staff on this site but wanted to check in and see if it was also possible to book directly at St. Pancras Eurostar booking desk.  EUR 9116 is the train I am trying to reserve for. I am trying to board the 10 AM train on the 8th of April (in a few hours), wondering if it still possible to do so. I read that tickets need to be booked at least 3 hours in advance ? Or would it be best to just try and input my order number that was on email which is also 8 digit as the pass cover number substitute to just get the ability to book the reservation through the ThalysB website ?  My understandin

Six of us want to book Eurostar train seat reservations  from London to Amsterdam on July 24thI think the one at 11:04 which we wanted is fully booked as seat reservations aren’t available on the interrail.eh website but I’m not sure? On the interrail.eu website there is one at 12:29 which we would like to bookhowever this train is not on the interrail app planner so will it even be included in our tickets? How do we add it to our trip if we do book seat reservations?  also the second part of this train (Bruxellesmidi to Amsterdam) is unavailable to book? Is it because it’s can only be booked under 90 days in advance? If anyone has answers it would be amazing thanks so much

Hi, I’m currently in Verona, Italy and was planning on travelling to Vienna tomorrow 6.4.22. I need to take a ECB 88 by Deutsche Bahn so my question is, since they don’t yet use e-reservations, can I make my reservation to DB in Verona? They only have Italian railway ticketbooths and no DB. Can I do the reservation for example in the Regionale Italia counter? If not, how can I make my reservation? Thanks for the answer!

Why is it more expensive than booking through interrail website? My friend and I would like to travel from Ljubljana to Split and the booking is unavailable on the interrail website. And called to reserve the train through ticket office but it was way more expensive. Do any of you have any tips on this route? Where to book etc.? 

Hello! I have a few questions about where we are in the negotiations with Renfe and a suggestion for a possible temporary fix.  IntroI fly a lot for work and I am looking into ways of how to cut  my carbon footprint by taking a train whenever I can. I've just interrailed all the way from London to Portugal and I have to say it was a pleasant breeze, up to the Spanish border. There, I run into plenty of troubles with seat reservations with Renfe, looks like they deliberately try to make it near impossible. I'm not going to bore you with the details here, I might make a separate post later just to ease the grudge and definitely drop Renfe some emails. Looking at other community posts, this seems to be a persistent issue.QuestionsI'm wondering what is the reason behind Renfe resistance to interrailers. What is the current state of negotiations between Interrail and Renfe?SuggestionCould we possibly come up with a temporary fix as the negotiations progress? Just to ease the pain a little.

Hello fellow travellers! Me and my friend want to travel from Ljubljana to Split 17/6/2022. The prices for this particular trip (Zagreb-Split, night train) have been unavailable quite long now. Is it not possible to book the train anymore? Or is there another way to book the tickets, we would love to book beforehand? Do you know what might be the issue the prices and booking is unavailable? Thanks already!
