bruxelles midi - Platform Map? Do we have enough time to Transfer?

Hi. In short, we are trying to figure out if we will have enough time to Transfer Trains in Brussels. (Bruxelles Midi).We will be changing Trains in Brussels - on our way from Ghent to Luxembourg, ultimately to Trier.One of the possible routes shows ICE Trains coming into Brussels on Platform 7. We would then transfer to Platform 10, for the next leg to Luxembourg. There is less than 10 minutes between the two trains. We are hoping that Platform 7 is close to Platform 10. Without a Station Map, it is hard to determine the distance. We will both have a rolling suitcase. One of us has a slight back issue. We can walk, but we are not fast (or power) walkers. If anyone has been to Brussel Zuid (Bruxelles Midi) can you tells us how far apart the Platforms are? Is 7-8 minutes enough time to get from Platform 7 to Platform 10? We have heard that the Tickets will be good for the full day. So, worst case scenario, if we miss the Train (that is 7 minutes between), there should be another one aft

Eurail & Interrail Passes

Paper pass return label

I need to return my paper pass as soon as possible.The return label that came with the paper pass has the address:Eurail. B.V., Int. Business Return Service, I.B.R.S./C.C.R.I. No.7, 3500 ZA Utrecht (NL).Can I know if this is the correct address to send the paper pass to?Also, I would like to know if the return label guarantees delivery, as I am sending the pass from the United States. If the return label cannot guarantee delivery, can I use DHL or FedEx to send it to the above address?This is the return label that I have received:I have already sent this question to customer service a couple of days ago, but I have yet to receive a response. I would greatly appreciate it if someone from Eurail can answer my question as soon as possible.Thank you very much! Yun

Reservations

I have a Eurail Pass and booked a Reservation and it has myself and my partner sitting nowhere near each other. I have seen questions here about changing seats and no one has a good answer. You can’t tell me that we are expected to travel around Europe on a Pass we bought for travelling together not sitting with each other??? That is not acceptable and no one should think it is.

Eurail & Interrail Passes

Pass (mobile) doesn't appears in the app

Hi, I'm in my second day of a 7-day travel pass. The Rail Planner App is not working, the issue is the same that happend to Tarek here https://community.eurail.com/eurail-interrail-passes-41/mobile-pass-disappeared-completely-771 but his solution it's not working for me. I've sent emails to support but anyone is answering. The mobile pass doesn't shows in the app section and that section requests me to add a pass. When I do the proper steps, the app says me that the mobile pass has been added in this phone and I can check it in the app section. It's a loop: when I go back, the pass stills missing. Any idea?

How do I book the EuroNight Sweden 345 from Copenhagen Airport to Berlin - unable to find reservetion

Hi all First time interrailing here so it is possible I am being stupid but when trying to book our first sleeper train from copenhagen airport to berlin hbf I cannot for the life of me find out where to book a reservation and all I see is this [pictured]. I understand sometimes you need to book this reservation with third parties but none of the suggested ones seem to even have this train listed? Does this simply mean that this train is already fully booked or am I making a mistake? Many thanks

Importance of adding the right S-bahn to pass..?

Hi,I wonder if anyone knows if it is crucial or probably ok not to list the *exact* right S-Bahn train in Germany for local travel? I will spend the weekend in a city where the S-Bahn is convenient to get to our hotel so will use my pass for that. However there are loads of different S-Bahns going from the Hauptbahnhof every 2-3 minutes, so I’m just wondering how crucial it is that I manage to see if it’s S1 or S2 or S3 or whatever, then log that on my pass and activate it before I enter the train..? Or would any S-Bahn train listed be ok to activate even if I happen to go the two stops on another one..?Thanks for any advice!

trains in Norway

Hello everyone! From Interrail's "Rail planner" application, I can't find out which trains are included in the pass and whether it covers night routes. In particular, in the case of Norway, a search for the following trains (found on the railway companies' website) returns no results. I refer to the following trains:

Treni inclusi nel pass Norvegia

Ciao a tutti! Dall’applicazione “Rail planner” di Interrail non si riesce a capire quali treni siano incusi dentro al pass e se questo copre le tratte notturne. In particolare, nel caso della Norvegia, la ricerca dei seguenti treni (trovati nel sito delle compagnie ferroviarie) non restituisce nessun risultato. Mi riferisco ai seguenti treni: Riuscireste a indicarmi se sono inclusi nel pass? Grazie a tutti :)

seat reservations

The exact same seat reservation is €6 on OBB website and $60 on EuroRail. How is this legal and possible? Seems like they are ripping off foreigners. How can I file a complaint with local government and train agencies ?

Do I book hostels & flight home before going?

iI’m planning an interrailing trip for summer (July & August) 2024. I was just wondering whether I should book all my hostels before going or just wait and see or will this be expensive/booked up? What if I decide to leave a place a day earlier than planned and then that messes all the hostel reservations up or is this not possible? And should I just book my flight home whilst I’m there in case I add places onto the end or will it be really expensive?

Option for Multiple trips between country of residence?

Hi, I will be travelling between my country of residence (UK) and the EU 3 times during 1.5 months and wondering if there is some option that allows multiple entry-exits from one’s country of residence? I had considered getting a Eurail pass, but don’t think I’ll be allowed to long-term. Does anyone have any suggestions?
