T3 singolo sleeper vs doppla cabina intera

Please mention route, date and departure time.

T3 singolo sounds like a contradictio in terminis: T3 is something else than a Single.

doppia cabina intera will be a Double for 2 persons. Booking such a reservation will be cheaper on raileurope.com (desktop website), since Eurail adds a booking fee.

I looked at a random Italian night train on a random date (Milan-Lecce on 10/7) and indeed saw a "T3 Singolo”. Price €248 for 2 persons, which means that this is 2 single compartments and not 1 Double.

You should be able to book 1 Double for the both of you on railwaurope.com.

This issue with Italian night trains continues to exist. Basically, the Interrail/Eurail website never offers a Double (for 2 persons) or T3 (for 3 persons), it only offers very expensive Single sleeper compartments. When will that be fixed?

Hi @rvdborgt 

We escalated this issue in April, but we still haven't received a response from our specialists. I will ask about the current status of the process.

Hi

I found this 8 month old conversation talking about night trains in Italy and the problem is not solved. It still impossible to reserve a “doppia cabina” (2 beds) as it exits on Trenitalia site. On Interrail only CC-PROMISCUO (4 beds cabin) are reservable. Or ICN 02 CLASSE ICN (seating).We are two and we would like a cabin for just two not four! Why does Interrail doesn’t offer all the propositions that exist?🤔

See for example :  travel between Venice (departure April 4 2025 at 10.05pm) and Roma (arrival April 5 at 6.35am)

Thank you for your solutions if you have some !

Any update about this?

You can book this on www.raileurope.com. It's also cheaper there.

The solution is as ​@rvdborgt said, to use www.raileurope.com instead of the interrail reservation portal.

Follow the directions given on the seat61 website here https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm#Italy

For the Italian night trains it is also worth comparing the regular fares as they can be good value compared to using an interrail pass day with reservations depending on the offers and what other travel you take on the same day.

Thank you ! I knew Seat61 but not Raileurope. Now I’ll compare to plan my travel ! 🤗

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in on this. We totally get how frustrating it is that this issue is still happening. Our tech team had fixed it at the end of last year, but unfortunately, it’s popped up again. They’ve reopened the case and are looking into it.

In the meantime, the best option is to book directly via Rail Europe, as ​@rvdborgt mentioned. We’ll keep you posted when we have any updates!

Hi

Good luck with the bug resolution and thanks for the info on Rail Europe! The site is less convenient than Inter rail because it’s slower and you have to make a reservation on each train of the same journey but it is also significantly cheaper. Now I am browsing between the two websites to find the best solution for my trip!

Interrail is almost always more expensive than elsewhere. I avoid it if possible.
