That difficult second Trip

So - largely thanks to the community I enjoyed three weeks travelling with my five day pass, which of course has now been used up.

The question now is how do I plan the next trip? 

Do I delete the app from my phone, start from scratch and buy the next 5 day trip with a new Passnumber etc in order to activate the pass? Basically the same procedure as when I first got the app and activated the pass.

Or if I’m logged in, will the site will recognise that I already have the app with its Passnumber staying the same and I just need to buy and add another 5 day trip to it?  

As ever, thanks in advance for your help

There's no need to delete the Rail Planner app. You can add many passes in there. But to plan, you don't have to add a pass, or use the Rail Planner app at all. You can just use bahn.de to plan journeys; that's also more reliable.

I'd subscribe to the Interrail newsletter, so you'll be informed when there's a sale starting.

    Thanks, rvd. 

    So I just buy another pass and upload it to the app;which then takes the place of the app which has expired been used up?

    Yes, I use Bahn.de as it’s more reliable. 

    Thanks

    You just add a new pass. I currently have around 20 in the app :)

    You can remove expired passes yourself, if you want.

    I have 2 passes on my app.  What I don’t understand is why the app asks me which one I want to add a trip to when only 1 of them is still valid.  In other words - I don’t get why it even thinks I might want to add a trip to a pass that has expired.

    Hi Zagmund,

    Yes, a bit confusing but I suppose you just have to be vigilant. 

    At least this time I realise I don’t have to give every day a differnt name 😏
