Okay so me and my friends want to interrail around Europe, we all live in the UK. We don't live in London so if we were to buy a Global interrail pass would that cover the travel from our city to London?? Or would we just need to find our way there?

Hello!  We (3 of us) are traveling from Amsterdam to London on April 24th and have passes bought.  This is our last leg across Europe, but are finding seats are Sold Out.  What are our options?  

Bonjour, Je fais un voyage de 3 semaines en scandinavie depuis la FranceDans mon projet de voyage il y a pas mal de trains avec réservations de places obligatoires ou recommandéesD'après vos expériences, faut il reserver, en général, longtemps a l'avance (exemple traversée de l'Allemagne, trajet Oslo Trondheim...) ce qui entraîne un manque de souplesse ou faire face à un imprévuL'objectif étant de ne pas se retrouver avec des train déjà complet.... MerciBonne journéePierre 

Hello again! We're moving on from Zurich to Vienna on July 28. Attached is our seat reservation. Are we facing forward? Thank you 💖  

I want to buy the 4-day flexi pass, the trip from my city (madrid) to the first destination (paris), and the trip from the last destination (rome) to my city again counts in the 4 days of the pass? that means i can travel only two days between destinations?

I recently purchased a Eurail pass and was trying to get a train from London to Glasgow. It sent me to the ACP rail site to get a seat reservation. Is the ACP rail linked with Eurail or do I need a separate pass?

Hey everyone,I’m Elizabeth (19) and I am going to Switzerland for two weeks. And I would really appreciate some help. Maybe some general tips, fun places I must see, travel tips or ways to use my interrail/discoverEU pass as best as possible. I’m also trying to keep it a little budget friendly and see a lot of nature. These are the places I’m visiting: Geneva, Montreux, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Flims (Caumasee), Schaffhausen, Neuchâtel and area, and some stops in between. So if you’re Swiss or you have been there often or are planning to go. Any advise or tips are welcome. Thank you!-Elizabeth

Over the weekend, I purchased two (5 day in 1 month) InterRrail passes for August and reserved seats on trains to and from Barcelona via Paris. In total, this has cost €900 and, alarmingly, AI has suggested that buying individual advance tickets (with mandatory seat reservations) might actually have been cheaper! What do you think; does this sound expensive to you? N.B. The InterRail passes were c. €600 and 8 seat reservations (in and out of Paris both ways) were c. €300.

Hi! I'm Lara (18) from the Netherlands and I'm planning to go travelling through Switzerland, Italy and France this July! I'm still looking for a travel buddy or some people to meet up with along the way!🙂Send me a dm on Insta (@Lara_.akr) or leave a comment if you are interested or would like to know more about my plans!

Hi,I searched, but couldn’t find a suitable answer. Are there restrictions to times you can travel with an Interrail pass? I need to get from Cestas (near Bordeaux) to Mansfield in the UK for a short trip. Basically, a day’s travel, a day’s visit and a day’s travel back. I’ve done it for the last couple of years by booking two sets of tickets on the Trainline, but this would make it simpler (and cheaper). B

Hello, I'm planning a trip to Ireland for me and my sister, and I had two questions. On the railway map I saw that almost all routes go via Dublin and are not really connected in between, which is difficult if you want to make a ‘circle’ and not visit the same place twice. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the busses in Ireland and if these are any good to travel between cities. Secondly, I was wondering whether some train stations or routes do not appear in the app. For example, I cannot fiend the city ‘Londonderry’ in the app, and it doesn't show any trainroutes to Ballina for example. Thanks in advance! It is the second time I'm planning a trip and my first time in Ireland, so I don't have much experience with these things yet :) 

I've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

Something went wrong while booking the reservation i need help asap

Dear all, We found a suggestion on the official Interrail website to travel to Istanbul. When planning in the trip planner, there is an error and a suggestion to split the journey (from Sofia or Bucharest) in two. Without further advice on how to do that. Could you please suggest how we could solve this.Is it possible to travel to Istanbul with Interrail?Best, Tiina and Hannu, travelling in June.

Bonjour,J’ai un problème avec mon pass Interrail : je n’arrive pas à réserver plusieurs ferries.Quand j’essaie de faire une nouvelle réservation, on me dit que mon document a déjà été utilisé, alors qu’il me reste encore des jours de voyage sur mon pass.Est-ce que quelqu’un sait si c’est normal ou comment résoudre ce problème ?Merci d’avance pour votre aide 🙏

Hello !Our country is France.We’re trying to use our pass from France to Spain.Yet the only trains covered are the one within France. No internal passes within Spain.So the goal is to reach the border of Spain with our pass. And more precisely the railway station of Hendaye. Which is a border train station.Has someone already done it and is it ok with the pass knowing that the city we’re reaching and from we will get back is technically a French city ?Thank youEmmanuelle

Dear Interrail community,We are organising our first Interrail trip, using Interrail to visit Stockholm and Copenhagen.However, one of our group cannot install the Rail Planner app on her mobile phone because the operating system is too old. Her phone cannot use a more recent operating system.Could you please help us find an alternative solution?Thank you in advance for your help.Regards, Gines  

Hello all. need to take the train. from Ljubljana to split, Croatia. We can take the day train but does not get there until 10;30 pm. Which is ok for us if the scenery will be nice. Or should we take the night train that would get there before noon. Lastly Does anyone know if the first-class seats fold down for sleeping and/or are they in separate cabins. thanks.
