Our highlights from the world's largest rail transport trade fair 🚄

We know our community members enjoy hearing about innovations in the rail industry - so we created a round-up of exciting highlights from our visit. InnoTrans is renowned as the world’s biggest trade fair centered on the rail transport industry. Held every two years at the Messe Berlin exhibition centre, this year’s event took place from September 22 to 25, and we had the pleasure of attending. Here's a round-up of the exciting highlights from our visit. InnoTrans: Impressive Scale Our visit to Berlin was a fantastic opportunity for networking, learning about the latest industry developments, and reconnecting with familiar faces. We quickly realized the sheer scale of InnoTrans exceeded our expectations. With an impressive turnout of nearly 3,000 exhibitors from over 50 countries and around 170,000 visitors from 133 different countries, it really gave a great sense of just how complex and vibrant the industry is.

RENFE reservation problem - only temporary?

Hello, I am trying to make a reservation for the RENFE AVE from Marseille to Madrid. On interrail.eu I get the message: Currently, reserving seats for journeys in Spain is only possible at Spanish train stations or by calling RENFE directly.And happyrail.com does not show me any options.I also talked to Deutsche Bahn customer service. They say that RENFE tickets can currently not be issued through Deutsche Bahn.Is this only a temporary problem? Can I hope reservation will be possible in a few days?Thanks, Thomas

Reserva asientos

Hello. On December 20th we will begin a family trip. On the website it says that you can reserve seats 60 or 90 days in advance, but when I enter the date it tells me that it has not yet enabled reservations for that date. We have a long route planned with Eurail and I am worried about not having information.I find the app and the website very unfriendly, no one from the company can solve anything for you, if I had known how complex it was I would not have bought the passes with this company.If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.Thank you so much.Laura

France and Spain Trip

Hello, i’m currently planing a french and spanish Interrail trip and i have some questionsFor the first time i want a mobile pass. Is it true, that i can buy that one today, can buy seat reservations and still choose the first travel day later? I’ve heard, that there are quite high security standards at Spain trains. Can someone explain to me, if this is true and how this works and how long before the departure you should arrive at the station and ho Seat reservations: Just in case, i have to adjust something later. First is it possible to reverse seat reservations bought by the Interrail app and if so, how high are the fees therefore? The Interrail website isn’t clear on that for me. In generell, does anybody have an idea how high the reservation fees are for Spain and France? In generell i would be very thankful for any hints about using trains at France and Spain.

Is a Global Pass worth it? 3 Days in Chur

Hello, I am from Germany and would like to travel to Switzerland in April. The plan is for me to travel to Chur on the first day. On the second day I would like to take the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano and back again. I will leave Chur on the third day. Is a Global Pass worth it? Or should I book each train ticket separately?

No reservations possible for Spain

Hello, unfortunately I have another question about reservations for trains in Spain: Currently I can't make any reservations via interrail.eu as well as happyrail.com, regardless of the connection and time. The results on happyrail look like the attached screenshot for each connection/time. Is this problem known or has it ever occurred before? Is there anything that can be done?Many thanks and best regardsMarcel
