Good Evening Fellow Travellers.

So I’m planning to travel from Antwerp to Liverpool in one day (Antwerp to Brussels/Brussels to London/London to Liverpool) Seat tickets for Eurostar and London - Liverpool are already booked on the trains we intend to use. If I try to set this up as one journey I am not offered the connections I want and indeed the only connections from Antwerp to Brussels is signalled as Not in the pass network as it is very fast which I don’t need, though if I just look in Antwerp to Brussels there are plenty I can use. Indeed all the trains I want are available individually.

Can I simply book the three legs of the journey separately? If not, I’m in trouble.☹️

Also: can one add journeys on the day of travel (after starting the trip) or do they all have to be booked into the App before boarding the first train of the day?

 

As ever thank you again to whoever is kind enough to help the hapless

The only requirement is that you add a train to your pass before you board it. You can do that one train at a time, or all at once.

Also keep in mind that you can't book anything in the Rail Planner app. Its function is to register the trains you use, nothing more.

Personally I always add each train as a separate Journey. I think that gives a better overview.
