Train connections & reservations

I’m trying to book a train from Berlin to Gdynia (a journey with RE1 then EC59 connection) on the DB website. In the journey details, it says that the EC59 requires compulsory reservation. However, when I’m trying to continue with the booking, this error message popped up: “Reservation cannot be madeUnfortunately, a reservation is not possible for this connection. Due to compulsory reservation, a booking is therefore not possible. Please choose another connection.”so I cannot do the booking. Can someone help me on how to book tickets for this journey online? It’s stressing me out haha. 

I'm planning a train trip England to France using Interrail, in about in a months time. I've made all the seat reservations and paid the supplements, but I cannot see the tickets or where to find them and they have not been emailed to me. I've downloaded the payment confirmation. However I have received the tickets for Eurostar and successfully printed them and downloaded them. But where are the other tickets?

Hi,I’ve been trying to reserve seats for my wife and I on EN 40476 from Budapest to Berlin in late July and haven’t had much luck.I first saw a recommendation to book this via oebb.at. I can book a combined ticket/reservation through that website, but if I search for reservations only, the website indicates “Ticket not available”. It’s a similar story with cd.cz and MAV -- it looks like they’ll happily sell me a pair of tickets but separate reservations aren’t available. Things get even weirder if I try to book it through the Eurail website directly. If I search for tickets for the two of us, I only see two options -- the seating compartment (ouch) and 2x single sleeper cabins ($$$).  However, if I search for a ticket for one of us, I see all of the expected seat types.These prices seem pretty high, but they are quite a bit less than the full ticket prices via oebb / MAV, so I guess this is just what a reservation costs? But regardless, I have no idea why I wouldn’t be able to choose a

Hello, We want to take Bosphorus Express (Bucuresti —> Istanbul) just after the night train from Budapest to Bucuresti but, if someone already did that, we have some questions : We have 3hours for the connexion, do you think this is possible ? (Or does the train from Budapest to Bucuresti is often delayed?)  Do you think we can book our tickets the day for the day for the Bosphorus express? (We are in the middle of august we are afraid it will be full). We ask the company CFR and it is not possible to book it online or by phone/email with interrail passes. Thank you for your help !! :) Mélanie 

HelloI would like to book two journeys with two global interrail passes from Bologna Centrale to Paris on August 30, 2024. Here are the details departure bologna centrale 9.36 amarrival paris gare de lyon 7.38 pm The route is already displayed on the rail planner application.

Hey, i was trying to get a night train from Prague to Budapest, specially the Euronight 477/ Intercity 577 Metropol, but it doesn’t appear in the rail planner app, however, i can find it con de oficial cd page.

Hi, help requested!I am fairly new to Interrail. Our first journey is from Santander (coming in on ferry from Plymouth UK)  to Bilbao .. but when I enter this journey on Eurail it comes up with ridiculously long journeys of 11 or 23 hours. Anyone know what’s going on? It’s only 46 miles! Hmm? Advice about making reservations in Spain gratefully received. Many thanks :) 

Hello,I'm contacting you because I'd like to book two journeys from Bologna Centrale to Paris, with two global interrail passes. On the Bahn website (https://int.bahn.de/fr) I can't select the interrail passes from the discounts on offer. Can you tell me on which site I can make my reservations?Thanks in advance.

BonjourNe souhaitant plus prendre l’avion, je fais le trajet Tarbes-Rome le 9 Juin, retour le 15 en train. Interrail me parait être une bonne option, mais je fais face à des questions d’optimisation, et de manque d’expérience aussi.J’ai pris par précaution un pass 4 jours, car je m’aperçois qu’en filtrant avec des temps de correspondance prudents (Filtre 10 ou 15min), j’aboutis à des temps de connexion, où je fais fatalement un overnight sans toucher un train de nuit. Donc je prends mon temps, 2 jours de pass pour l’aller et 2 jours de pass pour le retour.Il me faut faire une escale soit à Nice, soit à Marseille, ou encore Vintimille et passer une nuit quelque part ce qui n’est en soit pas un problème. Mais j’aimerais savoir selon les expérimentés de la communauté quel est le meilleur stop à faire, et si mon trajet peut-être optimisé.Voici par exemple deux propositions que j’ai:9/06 9:42 Tarbes->Toulouse->Marseille->Nice [STOP NUIT]->Vintimille->Milan->Rome 10/06 16:4

Hello there, Me and my friend are planning to visit france, we bought the interrail pass and booked our seats, how ever we got completely different seats for parts of the journey in the TGV, is there anything we can do about that?Looking forward to a response :)Matthias

Hi all.I'm looking at reserving a bed in a couchette for the night train from Vienna to Paris on 27th. It's €29 ish to do this via the OBB night jet website (for a 6 bed womens' only). Before I book, I was wondering if it's worth booking it at the train station in Vienna instead (or Bratislava if they're able to do it from there) to see if I can get it cheaper. Any insight would be appreciated. 

The train D10300 from Berlin-Stockholm seamingly does NOT stop at Malmö C.(29th May 23:59 from Hamburg Hbf)A couple weeks ago when I booked my reservation it still did and my ticket also ends at this station eventhough the train does not stop there anymore.According to the Snalltaget website it should stop, but scotty/DB navigator/google maps say it doesn't.Does anyone why this is the case? 

Hi, I intend to travel from London to Brussels next month (then onto Austria and Switzerland). I have two passports, British and EU. Which one should I use for filling out the API for Eurostar?I haven't booked my return yet, but when I do, which one should I use then?Many thanks in advance. 

Hello I really need your help, :) I want to travel from Stockholm to Gällivare in August with nighttrain and interrail. I did this last year, but this year the booking system is very strange. On sj.se the trains are not avaible yet. On sj.se even the trains for for June are not avaible yet. When will they put the trains on their website?  On vy.se they are avaible. But is it possible to buy the seat reservation for interrail on vy.se? When I want to buy a seat and I type my Interrail Pass Number as discount it wont get cheaper than normal price. If it is not possible to only buy the reservation for seat for interrail - is it possible on other websites?On vy.se I saw that the train connection is 14hours in July and 17hours in August, why? Will there be a 14hours one in August released soon?Thank you very much for your helpPaul

Hello, I booked a journey with the Öbb nightjet using my interrail ticket for discount. Does this count as a travelday? I did not make the reservation via the interrail site.  I would love some help! Thank you so much

I have made seat reservations on OBB and it says that I can download the PDF, but because I have protection on them, if I do that right now, they lose that. What happens if I click to see my tickets on the mobile app? Do they become a scannable ticket in the app or a PDF that I have to print? At first glance, it doesn’t look like any say that it’s required to print them out, but is there a way to make sure? Not all of my tickets are for places within Austria and from what I saw, it’ll be 50/50 if I can print them if I’m not in Austria (at least from an OBB station).

Just had a notification from DB app to say my reservation on 16th Aug is ‘cancelled’. Looking at the itinerary is not helpful, but has some German that mentions SJ and I know they’re upgrading things. Can’t get the rest of the message. Anyone else had this?Journey is 10.11 Koln Hbf > 14.14 Hamburg Hbf / 14.53 Hamburg Hbf > 19.50 Koebenhavn HAnyway, when I log on to my account on the desktop it saysOutbound journey: Timetable change.Due to timetable changes, information on your connection is no longer up to date. Please check the current travel options....and...Connection no longer availableUse any train: You can now also use your ticket for other trains.Alternative connection: Due to recent events, this connection is no longer available. Please find a new connection for your trip.I’ve searched and the journey is still there (albeit arriving in Copenhagen 1 minute earlier). DOes that mean my reservations are still valid?? The seats I have are not available if I go through the book

I have some of my train seat reservations made through OBB even though some of the destinations don’t evolve Austria (i.e., Rome to Milan, Milan to Zurich, Zurich to Munich). I saw many suggestions to use OBB and just saw for myself why it works out to use OBB. But I haven’t questioned if any downsides were using OBB for trains that don’t involve Austria. Should I be aware of anything that I might run into because of this? Or am I okay?

Hello, i was trying to get a night train from Prague to Budapest, specially the Euronight 477/ Intercity 577 Metropol, but it doesn’t appear in the rail planner app, however, i can find it con de oficial cd page. I do not understand why it happens. Should I add manually the trip on the rain planner app, and get the seat reservation in the cd website?. And i will continue having the same price as with the interrail pass (only the seat reservation has to he paid)?. Thanks.

Hi ice train destination curtailed and will terminate at Köln instead of Frankfurt is the reservation still valid to take that train to Köln? the DB portal only states that connection is no longer available and is not clear if the paid for reservation to Frankfurt is valid for the Brussels to Köln journey.

Hello everyone,First time travelling with interrail this summer.I have a 10 days pass, but I still have book 4 reservation, I need a bit of help 😥😥.I have booked most reservations on the interracial booking website, but still need to book this 4 trips:Wien Hbf - Prague Hlavni Nadrazi on the 7th of August at 7:10 am. Doesn't let me book on interrail site but I have found tickets on Cd.cz for around 15€ per person, which is fine I guess 🤷🏻. Prague Hlavni Nadrazi - Berlin Hbf on the 8th of August at 17:30, or any other time that day, it doesn't let me book on interrail site. If I book on int.bahn.de do I have to pay for full price tickets (50€ per person 💀) or can I flag the option "book seat only" (10€ per person)? Koebenhavn H - Stockholm Central on the 15th of August said tickets available 90 days before departure but now they say that they're unavailable on the interrail site. Stockholm - Oslo on the 17th of August still says to wait 90 days before departure to book on the interr
