l have purchased my global pass and then created my trip , l have attached my trip to my pass and l have made reservations and paid for them where required . For the journeys that have 3 train changes within the journey and l have to reserve seats on 2 of the legs but not required on the other 2 , how does the ticketing work ? l now only have a ticket for 2 legs of that day journey . As l have attached the trip to my pass does that suffice ?

The pass is your ticket. Reservations are completely separate from the pass.

There's a separate ticket for each travel day. You create the ticket when you add the first train of the day to your pass. You need to do that for all trains, regardless of any reservations.

Check this page to see how to do that:

(Under "Getting ready to board the train”)

On the train, you always need to be able to show the pass (the QR code for the mobile pass) plus any mandatory reservation.

For booking reservations, this page is the best guide:

(Eurail is best avoided for reservations.)

Your pass is your ticket. You add all the trains to ‘My Trip’ and when you slide the switch on to activate each train, that generates the QR code which is your ticket.

The reservations are separate. Depending on the train, you might be asked to show the pass, or the reservations, or both.

Mention your route for more specific advice.
