Hi All,

 

we are planning a trip to Pula via Lake Bled from London. There seems to be a lot of change overs and much longer journeys than I thought according to Train 61!

Any advice for quicker, more direct journeys?

At the moment, I can only find a journey to Munich changing at Stuttgart as well. Then if I search Munich to Bled I would have to change twice - Salzburg and Villach.

I’m not planning sleeper trains as I don’t think they’re covered by Interail Global Pass, and I kind wanted the least clunky, changey journey as taking a ten and thirteen year old!

In general night trains are covered but you need to pay a supplement. There's a direct night train from Stuttgart to Lesce-Bled. (But the station nearest to the lake is Bled Jezero; depends on where you'd like to go concretely).

Paris to Salzburg can also be done by night train. 

London directly to Bled is a too long journey. A night train may be a good idea. Or a break in between.

Can be done in 4 changes, no less : London - Paris - Vienna - Ljubljana - Rakitovec - Pula

It's also possible with 3 changes. 😉

How ? You cannot reach Ljubljana from London in 1 change

I've just seen that your "4" doesn't show your itinerary that has 5 changes mentioned; I thought you did count correctly. 😉 But I didn’t either. 😂 It's one change less (that's what I did mean) so it's indeed 4 but one less than shown in the itinerary. 😀 But what would be your itinerary with four changes as this one shown has 5?

But that doesn’t matter anyway if the OP wants to go via Lake Bled.

Sort of early August.
