Hello everyone, I've been trying for months to book seats for the Berlin-Budapest train on July 20th at 7:28 PM, but it won't let me. Now, this train doesn't even appear anymore; instead, it appears to be one with a transfer. And on the company's official website, it does appear, but it says tickets aren't available for any date (including June, July, August, etc.). Does anyone know why the direct train isn't listed, if there isn't going to be one, or what's going on? Thank you very much.

It's best to book this train on tickets.oeb.at. However, you're using the incorrect option there: you should add the Interrail/Eurail discount and NOT check "Seat reservation only”. Currently, it shows as "booked up” on all dates from 20/6 and "Ticket not available” before that, so something's not working. Booking on cd.cz should normally also work (with the Interrail discount), but currently it doesn't work either.

Possibly the timetable isn't ready yet, and/or there's a system problem. Try again later, from tomorrow.

What the Interrail website says is irrelevant, since it is unreliable.

Thank you very much, I'll try that way to see if it works. But then, since I want the trip for 7/20, I still have to wait if the pages don't work, right?
