Train connections & reservations

Hey there!I was planning on taking the train from Munich to Florence. Anyone here who also took this route during the construction in Innsbruck, which leads to replacement busses between Innsbruck and Brenner? How was your experience, did it work well? Does the train in Brenner wait for the busses? Thank you a lot!

I am Italian, and I'm traveling from Verona to Munich with a German pass, since there are construction works on the rail system at the border, I will need to take a substitute bus to go from Trento to Innsbruck. when I try to activate my trip it says that part of it is not included in the pass, while the bus is operated by OBB and it is, infact just a substitution of the usual Eurocity. as a result my trip is active only from Innsbruck.anyone had the same issue? How should I do?

Hi, I want to take a night train from Krakow to Prague on IC407 and I intend to make a seat reservation first.  On the eurail app, it says that there is 1 transfer (IC407+ LE1248), but on the CD app, 0 transfer is needed so I can just take IC407.  Can someone please kindly tell me which one is the correct train journey?   

I have a Eurail Global Pass and I’m trying to go from Barcelona to Paris on 8 August. The Rail Planner won’t let me reserve a ticket, but it says that ticket reservation is mandatory. I talked to every person I could at the Barcelona Sants station and they all said they wouldn’t deal with international trips. None of the websites I can find work either. I’ve been struggling with this all day trying every option I can. 

Newbie here: My husband and I are travelling to Europe May 2024. We think we need a 4 or 5 day global pass for our plans but would love some feedback and direction on the best way to manage the trains as we have never before had a holiday that included trains. We need to leave Lisbon by train on the 21/5/2024 to get to to Sarlat de Caneda in France by 24/5/2024.  Hoping that's possible because I can't see any other option except to go via Madrid.  We are 74 and 75 years old and would like to travel first class and a sleeper if there is one. We are initially travelling from Australia. We really will appreciate any help you can give us.

Hey all! I am (desperately) trying to get a seat reservation for a night train from Hamburg Hbf to Lund C tonight at 23:57, but it seems that the train is fully booked. Are there any possibilities of boarding despite this, can I get some “emergency seats” or even stand in a corner somewhere without risking a fine? I can’t get a hold of customer service at the station either. Thank you in advance, any tips are appreciated!  

Ciao a tutti!sto per fare il mio primo interrail con un global pass, ho riservato dei posti (comprandoli direttamente in stazione a Roma) per un notturno da BOLOGNA A MONACO DI BAVIERA diretto, con partenza alle 23:45 e arrivo a Monaco alle 9:20.Se vado sull’App di Eurail però non mi da questo treno, mi da solo un treno che va Bologna - Villach con un cambio Villach - Monaco, entrambe queste tratte hanno bisogno dei posti prenotati.la mia domanda è: possibile che non appaia il mio treno sull’app e che se anche fosse non diretto quindi debba comprare due posti riservati diversi per la coincidenza (nonostante io abbia già pagato un posto fino a Monaco diretto)? 

Hello everyone,We bought the Global Pass and then bought seats from London to Paris. We refunded the Global Passes but we cannot refund the seat reservations. Can we still use these tickets even though we refunded the Global Pass?Thanks for your help!

I'm planning to get on the calidonian Sleeper at 22.22pm on the 16th at April at my local train station in Garelochhead for the start of our interrail tour. I have paid for the room supplement, great.However as this is my First journey of the day and the Calidonian sleeper only need a ticket valid on arrival so the 17th... is the correct? Or do I just need my ticket to be valid in the app for the 16th?  I also read somewhere they said to add it manually but I can't work out how.  Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

Hello. :)I would like to use the Interrail pass to travel this summer.I want to go from a specific city in France to a specific city in Germany and because of my late planning, the direct trains have no more space for pass holders and I have to go through a series of trains. This is also during my outbouding travel but it’s not in my residential country anymore. I'm afraid that a delay of one train at the beginning of the day will make me miss a train at the end of the day.Since these are all trains without reservations (so no paid reservations), do I have to take them all at the same time? If I take the ticket for the late train and see that I'm going to miss it, can I change it?Thanks for any help! 

Is Geneva Main Station included in France One Country pass?

Hi,We went to book seat reservations at the station but the train is booked out. Can we still get on the train and stand? Ljubjana to schwarzach st vein  thanks 

Hello! Is it possible to go by train from Gare de Lyon to Gare du Nord?(Monday morning, leaving around 9.15am).  I can’t find the journey on the rail planner on SNCB app.  many thanks. 

i want to book seat for AVE in Spain but it is not possible over the interrail site. 

Hi, I am going to travel through france soon and I wanted to know, if I just can take a later train, if I couldn’t catch my initial connecting train. Do I have to add this train to my interrail pass then?Also What happens to the reservation of the original train, is it possible to get a refund? 

Hello,I am planning to upgrade my Eurail pass from 7 days to 10 days as I have added on some travel plans. I will be going in late August/early September, so I have no yet activated the pass. However I booked two seat reservations from Paris to London, and London to Brussels (both on the Eurostar). Will I believe to keep these seat reservations on my new pass?Thank you for any help you can offer.

How do I change the payment from dollars to pounds?

Just looking on the TGV Lyria reservations through the Interrail system. It is showing me a minimum of £229.62 for a journey in October. Can this really be correct? Just for a ‘reservation’? 

Hi!I want to travel from Grenoble (FR) to Torino (IT).I see that there are some trains that do not allow passholders (Ok), others that have a big price (again, understood although not happy with it) and others that have the 33 eur price. In the eurail website I see that the price for seat reservations in FR-IT trains is 31 eur (+ 2 eur for the fee),  so it fits.But, when I click on any of the trains with the marked “33 eur”, the figure changes to 58 eur. Why is it? Is it a bug? How can I book a seat for 31+2 eur? Thanks to all of you!

Hi fellows Travellers !My girlfriend and I plan to visit germany with the france germany rail pass ! We already plan our trip with some mandatory seat reservations, but 2 of our trains didn't required any reservations. We wanted to know if we should still pay an extra for reservations for the trains if we want to travel next to each other , or the day of our travel, at presentation of our pass, we will be seated asides ? Thanks for your return ! And if you used rail planner as group / couple and if you had any issues or not with seats having your advises / tips would be great :) Have a good day and good travel :)

Good morning. I need to ask a question regarding the tickets for high speed trains. We do have the tickets (with Qr code) in which it is specified that the seat reservation is required, but we were not able to make it for the selected trains. Can we take the train in any case or we need to switch to national trains?Looking forward to hearing from youThank you

Hi! I am doing an interrail with my cousins, and had a problem with the train due to the weather. We had reserved tickets (via seat reservation policy) from Ljubljana to Zurich for August 4, more specifically from Villach to Salzburg and then from Salzburg to Zurich. We had done the seat reservations on August 3As we were leaving Ljubljana headed to Zurich the 4 of August, at 7h26, we were told after waiting 40min on the train that the latter couldn’t proceed with the journey because of the rain (it had some implications with the railway). Afterwards, we had to wait more than an hour to get a substitution train from Ljubljana to Villach. The problem is that we were late for the next two trains we had to catch, of course. Hence we were not able to reserve seats for those two trains, as they were already booked.  Thus, we could not enjoy the seats we had reserved, and paid for nothing, due to the delay caused regarding the first train from Ljubljana. Therefore, I would like to know if we

When traveling with a first-class interrail ticket in Sweden (with SJ), it seems the first class reservation still costs twice as much as second class. I find this a bit disappointing considering I already paid more for the first-class ticket itself. So this gets even more expensive. Does it really make sense to have a 1st class interrail ticket when traveling Scandinavia? 

Good morning! A night jet for which I have booked a seat do not appears on the Rail Planner app.In particular, is the route from Bologna to München on the 8 of August.  How can I resolve this problem? 

Hi all, I bought two tickets as seats reservation for my friend and I, at once. But my friend will finally not take the same train than me, so I wish to cancel one ticket but not both. Is it possible to do so, and if so, how ? Or do I have to cancel reservation of both tickets and book again a single one for me only ?Thanks a lot!RegardsArnaud
