Train connections & reservations

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 

Hey guysI have some problems booking a seat reservation on the TGV:From Nice to St Raphael (April/19th) From Nimes to Barcelona (April/22nd)I do have an Interrail Online Pass (5 days per month). The Interrail app says “book at major train stations”.  Is there no opportunity to book a TGV seat reservation in advance?Thank you 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!

 I have a question why I have to activate this switch?  

Hi,Can someone please help me?  I have a global pass.  Eurail is showing no availability for London to Amsterdam on May 2.  However, when I go to Eurostars website they are showing direct routes available.  However I don’t see an option on Eurostar website to enter my pass to only pay the reservation fee.  It wants to charge me as if I don’t even have a pass.  I need to book this asap.

Hi community, I’ve tried to search for seat reservations from Tirano to Monterosso. I’ve tried before to travel by train from Milano to Monterosso. But not from Tirano. Any tips on what route to take AND if seat reservations are needed in high season (July)? Thank you so much in advance. 

Over the last few days I have been trying to make reservations for a TGV trip from Paris to Lourdes for the end of May using my mobile Global pass on the Eurail site. I am presented with a few options for the days I am looking to travel. I select an available trip to add it to my cart, go to checkout, verify billing and traveler details, and when I go to Review the Order I am told that one of the legs of my journey is no longer available. The trip is direct so that is only one leg that I have in the cart. I have tried different times and days but I keep receiving the same message. Is there a problem with making TGV reservations currently? Is there some other way to make these reservations without being in France and going to a station?

Hello, I need some help. Me and my partner bought the interrail pass 2nd class. We are currently in Vienna and we want to travel to Paris. When we go online to check the trains we have option to reserve 2nd and 1st class seat reservation . The ammount payble for each class looks the same. The question is if is possible to reserve the 1st class seats and using our passes? If not why are we allowed the option to select 1st class seat reservation. thank you!

Hello, I am traveling through Emilia-Romagna, and I am struggling to find the TPER trains within the Eurail app. Reading other posts on here, it appears that the TPER trains are covered by Eurail, and I can see certain lines (Parma - Borgo Val di Toro - La Spezia), but other lines like Parma - Fiorenzuola - Piacenza aren’t in the Eurail app at all. Additionally, the Regionale Veloce trains show as seat reservation required, but all are unavailable on the Eurail reservation system (not even showing the 0 EUR reservation cost). Is it possible to use these trains?

I made some reservations this afternoon, checked all the info, accepted conditions, but I cannot activate the 'to pay' button. Do other people have this problem?

Dear Interrail Community, I'm looking to travel from Munich to Rome on the 14th of April and I'm therefore thinking about purchasing an Interrail Ticket to do so. I would like to travel on the Nightjet either starting 20:10 or 23:20 from Munich. I'm now wondering if its still possible to get a reservation on one of the trains because I can still find these trains on the Interrail website (https://www.interrail.eu/en/book-reservations?ol=MUENCHEN+HBF+%28GERMANY%29&ov=008020347&dl=ROMA+TERMINI+%28ITALY%29&dv=008308409&vl=&vv=&t=1649930400000&ar=false&rt=&tt=&mc=&mct=0) not on the website of night jet directly for the 14th though (https://www.nightjet.com/de/reiseziele/italien/rom). Can someone help me with this issue? So I'm unsure if I'm able to take one of these trains after purchasing the Interrail ticket. Is it maybe also possible to travel without a reservation when the train is not fully packed with people? Has somebody made a similar exp

Hi travellers, have you experienced to be charged a fully tariff ticket although you are a eurail pass holder?I bought a ticket at Paris Gare de Lyon Station, on these self.service machines, and I was charged full tariff for a ticket from Paris to Berlin (euros 213) instead of partially as I have my eurail pass, so I should be charged with just euros 30 - 40 app.Have you experienced this issue? how it was solved?, I try to get in touch with eurail offices or agents but i just got connected with a chatbot, and they suppose to get back to me within 48 hours.Do I have possibilities to get the extra money paid back? any chances? anyone on this community could comment? I will really appreciate it!!Bye for now.

hello, i bought a pass and my first trip will be from london to liverpool, as soon as i arrive in europe.  I managed to find the train trip, I generated the ticket, but it says that I need to reserve the seat, but as my pass is on mobile, the option to book at the station only appears.  Is there any risk of me arriving at the station and not having a seat on the train, or with the ticket in hand I already have a guaranteed space on the train?

Hi All, I am travelling in Italy at the end of this month. I am currently planning my journey on the Eurail app. I have a mobile pass.I have saved a journey to My Trip with a 10 Eur Seat Reservation charge.How is this charge paid?There is no option on the App to pay.Under “More’ you can select ‘Seat Reservations’ then select ‘Italy’ and it says ‘Book at major train stations – At a ticket office or self-service machine’Does this mean the reservation fee is paid at the station on the day? thanks,

Hi,  I’m trying to book Eurostar tickets from Paris to London,  they are available on Eurostar but you can’t use the pass on the booking page, however, on the B-Europe site, it says there are no trains available.  Any ideas for alternative ways to book tickets?  I used B-Europe to book tickets for my outward journey so not sure why its not working now, I can’t find tickets for any date.  THANK YOU

May I have your help to purchase seat reservations on the following trains for my party of 6 Travelers?: June 27 TGV 8541 TGV INOUIDeparting 12:11 PM PARIS MONTPARNASSE 1 ET 2 Arriving 2:17 PM BORDEAUX ST JEAN  June 30 TGV 8504 TGV INOUIDeparting 10:46 AM BORDEAUX ST JEANArriving 12:54 PM PARIS MONTPARNASSE 1 ET 2 Currently, Eurail.com errs when attempting to Book these reservations online... "Please try to find an alternate connection.  The unavailable leg will be removed from your cart."  But, as far as I know, there is no other way to purchase these seat reservations.  Sncf-connect.com does not provide an option to purchase a seat reservation; only a ticket.I've already purchased seat reservations for the legs of our journey before and after the trains shown above (from London before and after Paris to Munich).  So, travel at other times is not preferable.  Nonetheless, I've experimented with booking seat reservations on other trains between Paris and Bordeaux; all fail with the sam

Bonjour,Etudiante en Erasmus à Rome, j’ai souhaité réservé un aller et un retour entre Rome et Milan. Sur l’application j’ai bien réservé deux billets à des dates plutôt en fin de journée. Mais je dois “réserver” des sièges au tarif de 12€ chacun. Une fois sur le site internet , je sélectionne dans mon panier les deux billets déjà réservés sur mon appli ( l’un à 19h et l’autre trains dès 18h30), mais une fois que j’accède au panier pour ma commande, les horaires ont changé et mes tickets seraient très tôt le matin… je ne comprends pas pourquoi. je souhaiterais procédé au paiement mais si j’achète ces réservations de siège  (le tarif est toujours le même, mais l’horaire des trains a changé automatiquement alors que je n’en ai pas fait la demande), est ce que cela passera pour les tickets aux horaire de fin de journée que j’ai censé réserver sur l’application ?  Merci pour votre aide,Charlotte 

I saw on the inter rail train finder that there is a direct night train (non sleeper) running from Amsterdam Centraal at 22:34 getting into Berlin the following morning at 05:52 (running regularly but I specifically wanted to take it on 26 June). I can't find this train on the inter rail app or on any other train service timetables, is it a mistake? Are there only daytime trains available? Don't want to turn up at the station late at night to find it's not running and have to try find accommodation, wouldn't really bea great start to my trip!
