Train connections & reservations

I wanted to visit Italy by train from Germany over happy new year. After buying the interrail Ticket I want to plan my trip, but unfortunately I am not able to see trains to Italy after the 11th December. I don't know why. I mean they suggest to plan your trips three months ahead, but with that I can barely plan more than a month ahead. What should I do? Is there an alternative? 

Hi all, I’m trying to book reservations for traveling from Paris to Marseille on November 16 using my EURail Global Pass. The EURail website shows availability in multiple trains, but when I proceed to payment, I get an error stating the current leg of the journey could not be booked. I am currently in Italy and will be landing in Paris on November 16, kindly let me know if there is another way to make seat reservations.

Hello In planning for my trip, I am trying to purchase a train ticket from Paris to Barcelona on this upcoming Wednesday. The train schedules were not yet available when i booked my vacation, but I saw that the trains were fairly consistent. I went back to purchase tickets today and am not finding any available and am now unsure what pass to buy and the schedule will not come up. Can someone please help? Is there a phone number I can call? Thank you so much!!

Hi. I have a problem on booking a seat.I have a first-class mobile Eurail pass which can be used for 10 days within 2 months.I want to book a seat on night train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi on 23rd Dec 2021.As I hope to take a night train, I choose a IRT sleeper single first class.1. But why the reservation told me that seat availability is unknown?Does that mean it is uncertain whether I can get a seat or not?Or does it mean my seat place is undecided? Then when can I know my seat number?Whatever it is, can I make a reservation? I really have to book a ticket. 2. Why does it give me a paper ticket though I am a mobile ticket holder?Then do I need to show my paper ticket when the staff try to check?Thank you for your time.I hope to get a respond as soon as possible. Here gives you a screenshot that I faced. 

Hello. I have a few questions as a non-EU traveler:1) Is there a phone number I can use to contact Eurail, if there is an issue with my mobile pass while in Europe or at the train station?2) My credit card concierge service purchased the rail passes on my behalf with their account. Would it be possible to add my email address to the order so that emails are sent to me?3a) Due to covid, it'd be easier if I can reserve the seats and then activate the pass once I am in Europe. Is there there anyway to reserve seats without activating the pass first?3b) Can I make the seat reservations with my order number or does my credit card concierge service need to purchase the seats with their concierge account, since they, also, purchased the rail passes?4) Let's say my pass is activated but there is an issue with the pass and it's not scanning correctly at the station. I'm at the train station and my scheduled train is leaving in 2 hours or even 1 hour. What do I do? Who would I contact to get it

I’m currently in Spain and trying to book a night train from Switzerland. It allows me to pay for the reservation but it says it’s going to send me a paper ticket. However I don’t have a fixed address and afraid that paper ticket will get lost somewhere. Isn’t there any option to get any electronic ticket or have them hold it at the station in Zürich? I can just travel across Europe and arrive in Zürich not knowing whether I have a night train or not. pS - i’ve tried calling the help number for OBB several times and it’s just an endless loop of German. I don’t know if they ever answer at all. Healthier your instructions are slightly off. Pressing one doesn’t do anything at all. Also the new longer open 24 hours. But I’m not sure if they take 20 minutes to answer or two hours. And it’s running down my Skype credit every time I’m just sitting here on hold because it’s strangely much more expensive than calling other foreign countries.

Hello everyone, My departure day arrive soon and I didn't receive yet my outbound paper ticket. The plan is to leave Montpellier the 5th of November for Barcelona then Valencia. On the tracking platform I see that there is a problem with the delivery but I don't have details. I send an email to interrail but no response yet. Do you know if I can go to the Montpellier train station and ask for my ticket and what would happen if I can't? 👋🙂Romain 

Just to let other people know there is the possibility of no trains. I am in Spain and wanted to leave in 10 days to France. I could not find a train. I went to the French train app and it seems they were sold out for 5 days. I went to the train station in Spain to reserve the first available day after that.  I was told there are available seats for purchase but not for global pass holders. And this was true for every day for at least a week.  The result is that there is a two week period where the pass is useless. I ended up buying a full price ticket without the pass and cutting my trip short.  I guess I can come back in a few years to see Southern Spain the next trip. 

Hello Everyone, I have a question and maybe you can help me with it. I want to use the Night-Train from Wien to Brasov tomorrow, 19.07, and did not take into account, that it is smart to book those at least a week a head. Now, is it possible to book an e-ticket with a paperpass? If I print it I have it as paper!  Also, I tried to book the reservation with both the App and on the website, but when I type in when and from where to where I want to travel and click of search, there is a pop-up, which tells me to fill in the numbers of traveler’s before continuing. The only thing is: I can’t find the field to do so!  Do you guys have any ideas?  Thank you before hand Yours Zoé

HelloWe would like to go from Italy to Greece by ferry, but we don’t know what is included in our interrailpas. Do we still have to reserve places on the boat or not? Thank you!

Hello,  I start my interrail journey tomorrow, but I'm facing a problem with seat reservations in Spain. I called +34 912320320, but was informed that it was only possible to make a reservation at the station. I arrive in Spain Seville at 7.00 am and would like to take the train at 7.45 am but I cannot make a reservation by phone. And they told me the train was almost full there were only 4 seats. 

Hi, I have to book Seat for some of my future travel, (Copenhagen - Stockholm - Goteborg ) Once selected online, it won’t go further « Order Details », it doesn’t work when I click on « Traveller Details »So because of that I can’t continue and purchase my seats.  Is anyone know why ? Thanks a lot !

Al vaak, met veel genoegen, van de global pass gebruik gemaakt. Dit jaar loopt alles in het honderd. Vertraging in Nederland zorgde voor het missen van aansluitingen in Brussel en Lyon met veel extra kosten en heel veel tijdverlies. Nu wil ik zitplaatsen reserveren voor Barcelona-Lyon, voor de terugreis (12-11 om 08.15 uur, 1e klas). Ik kan alleen een papieren ticket krijgen via interrail en dat gaat niet goed komen. Station Cordoba en Station Sevilla konden mij niet verder helpen. 'Bots' snapte er ook niks van.Have used the global pass many times, with great pleasure. Everything is going wrong this year. Delay in the Netherlands caused connections in Brussels and Lyon to be missed, with a lot of extra costs and a lot of time lost. Now I want to reserve seats for Barcelona-Lyon, for the return trip (12-11 at 08:15, 1st class). I can only get a paper ticket via interrail and that is not going to work out. Cordoba Station and Seville Station couldn't help me any further. Bots didn't get

HiI am trying to book seat reservations on the eurostar but it says my pass is invalid for that connection.I have eurail pass valid for the datesit is a one country 3 day pass.Does this mean that the allocated seats for pass holders are fully booked for that journey. Thanks

Hi! So I’m planning my trip that I am about to do during late autumn/winter and I really want to make it as a cheap experience as possible. Therefore I am aiming for trains that doesn't require reservationsI am totally new to this but I have done a lot of research, though there are some formulations I can't wrap my head around. For instance when I search for connections with no reservation required I sometimes see this grey statement that there is no information available about that particular train, even thought I only chose to see search results with no reservations. What does this mean? Is it cancelled or is it a commuter train with no booking what so ever?Also when I look up connections on the rail planner app it doesn't necessarily say this, it just says when reservation is mandatory, but when I check the facilities it sometimes says “no reservation on part of journey”. Does this mean that there is a specific distance during that ride that costs money? It often says this when a re

I am  looking at the Eurail timetable for the Lyria train from Basel to Paris, for departure in early January. There are no trains available for that time period at the moment. Other providers like Deutsche Bahn already have  the time tables on line. I will not buy a Global Pass until I am sure I get a seat on this train. Don't want end up having to buy a full ticket for this segment. Any idea what the holdup is for the eurail timetable access to the Lyriia train ?  This is not even 3 month in advance.Claus

Hi, I’m looking at planning my interrail route for next March/April time! I know it’s a little early but just trying to get organised. My question, when roughly would train timetables become available for this time? I’m hoping to start in Budapest but haven’t decided where to go from there, I was going to look at the timetable to see where I could get a train to next. Thanks!

In https://www.eurail.com/en/plan-your-trip/railway-mapThe map shows there are available station at some city of Lithuania, latvia and Estonia. In rail planner app doesn't show those station at all.Why is that?

Hi Iam checking the options for travelling from Zagreb to Split in december, but the system doesnt give any options, can you tell me why?

Can anyone help with making a booking on b-europe.com with a digital interrail global pass? the website requires you to enter the Pass Cover number which apparently is only found on the paper pass… ??

How much extra do seat reservations cost? Is it really worth it to get a Eurail pass if I am going to 12+ cities? Instead of flying.

I am trying to book a seat reservation on the Eurostar for 22nd December. I have already purchased an Interrail Global pass so I only need the seat reservation but the Interrail website says the carrier has not yet released the train times so I am unable to book the seat reservation. Meanwhile the full tickets including seat reservation are increasing in price. I am concerned that I do not know when and how many seat reservations may be released for purchase, and that if I need to book a full ticket despite having the Interrail pass, (e.g. because the seat reservations book up as soon as they are released so I miss the opportunity or the seats book up so no seat reservations are released for that day to interrail), then I am running out of time to do so. The prices are already expensive. Can anyone help with this, e.g. provide information on when seat reservation will be released and if they may all book up and not be released at all?

Do i have to buy seat's reservation for my children too or if they have the children pass they travel for free and i only have to book rhem a seat without money?
