Hello everyone,

I have a question. I have used 5 of my 6 Interrail days and I plan to travel back to my home destination in Germany. I plan to travel as follows:

  • I will board an overnight train at 23:55 in Stockholm using a regular paid ticket from Stockholm to Norrköping.
  • I will remain on the same train.
  • Before arriving in Norrköping at 00:56, I intend to activate a travel day on my Interrail Pass.
  • From Norrköping onwards, I would like to continue the same train journey using my Interrail Pass. Travelling the whole day with different trains back to Germany.

Does this work? Is it “allowed”?

Should work, if you can buy a regular ticket for that train from Stockholm to Norrköping. 

Travelling home through Germany for the whole day is fine, as long as you have not used both in/outbound days already. (as you need one of those if you travel in your home country)
