How good does it work when you do the reservation on the desk at the railwaystation

Best answer by Schelte

It really depends on what train you want and where you are. Sometimes it's not even possible (eg. Eurostar in London), sometimes it's expensive (eg. €7,50 additional booking fee per person at Dutch ticket offices), sometimes it's the only way to book without extra fees (eg. Spain), sometimes there are long queues (eg. Barcelona-Sants), sometimes it's the only option (eg. Turkey). You are also dependent on whether the train might sell out, which varies depending on the train.

In Sweden it is not possible to buy reservations at the station.
