Hello,I want to travel from Madrid to Bordeaux. I found good train from Madrid to Irún (Spanish border) and from Hendaye (french border) to Bordeaux.Irun and Hendaye train stations are like 3 km apart. Is there no train between them? Or busses?The only trains I found on rome2rio are badly timed.Any experience about this?When you search Madrid-Bordeaux it suggests you via Barcelona/ Narbonne. That's a huge detour.Thank you!

Hello! Thanks a lot for your service I have a question. We have interrail pass (1 month of traveling) and we have a few questions. 1) When I activate my pass in mobile app, will it automaticly generate QR code of the ticket? I know, that I need to reserve the train in the app, but I mean, when sth happens and we need to quickly run into another train and don't manage to reserve it in the app, is there still possibility, that I have my ticket in the app and I can show it to the ticket person in the train without previous booking of the train? 2) We will be also traveling in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. There your app is not working. But we found out, that you have some discount on bus tickets for example. Can you please tell me, how I can use this discount? I was trying to book some ride with company we should have discount, but I couldn't find some

Hey everyone,I have a problem with my Mobile Pass and my country of residence (Germany).A few weeks ago I travelled from Vienna (Austria) to Innsbruck (Austria). Between the stations Salzbruck and Wörgl the train (EC662 / RJ662) crosses the German border twice, but it does not stop in Germany (see pictures). Nevertheless, I had to use a country of residence trip for this route.Now I’m in Germany and I’m stuck, because I don’

After doing some research I’ve found that the train from belgrade to Budapest  stops in novi sad and that there’s also a rail replacement bus. Does anyone know anything about this bus (note travelling in early September):can I get it from Belgrade or is it from novi sad ?is the bus a night bus ?is it included in the inter rail ticket ?would it be better to get the flexi bus from Belgrade to Budapest for 15€ since I’m on the 15 day in 2 months tickets.  also does anyone know if the train from Belgrade to zagreb is running yet as an alternate route ? Thanks in advance, Harry.

How can  I get from Dubrovnik to Athens by train in Late September 2022 

I am quietly working out my plans to travel from Brussels to Naples.The travel date is not fixed yet, but will normally be somewhere at the end of August ... and 1st week of September.The route I have in mind:Brussels North - Cologne (ICE)Cologne - Basel (ICE)Basel - Lugano (IC)Lugano - Milan (RE)Departure 6u32am, arrival 17u17pm.If I would like to reserve a seat for the ICE, I pay 5.30 euros for 1st class per person, per journey.I wouldn't want to do that, but my travel partner isn't convinced about trains, so maybe better to reserve a seat after all. Otherwise I risk having to change seats several times.1/Why does the SBB travel planner not show the train at 16u02 pm departing from Lugano in August ?Is that because not all travel times have been communicated from Italy yet?2/Would the SBB travel planner show a connection via Bern and Brig on August 26, because the 16:02 train from Lugan

Hi! I printed out the map showing a broad selection of available railway lines with the global pass. This is showing a connection going from Bayonne-Biarritz-Hendaye-Irun-San Sebastian, but when using the planner (app and web), every route passing from France to Spain is going down via Narbonne. Is it possible to travel from France to Spain via the west coast of France to the north coast of Spain? 

I had a plan to travel up north from Madrid, Spain to Paris, France, but when I look up the date I want to travel, only options are to go east towards NARBONNE (France), TOULOUSE MATABIAU (France), then BORDEAUX ST JEAN (France). is this the only way to go to Paris?

Hello,On the Eurail / Interrail Rail Planner app, Frankfurt-Niederrad station is treated the same as Frankfurt central station (Frankfurt(Main)Hbf), which is very inconvenient. Try planner search the “from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt Central”. Frankfurt-Niederrad station is certainly close to central station, but it's a completely different station.I hope for improvement.Thank you.

Hi!I want to travel from Germany to Greece and my idea was to go via Italy and take the ferry to Greece (either from Ancona or Bari). I would stay in Greece for a few weeks then and afterwards go back to Germany via italy with the same ferry (with a 2-month global pass).Do you know if there are any restrictions on taking the same route twice, so either train or ferry?Thanks for answers, any help is appreciated!BestLouisa 

Hello again!A friend of mine wants to travel from Spain back to Austria(Linz). They are currently in Granada and their last day is the 2nd of August.They don’t want to travel to France because it’s “ too expensive” for them. But the seat reservations from Spain back to Austria would also cost 60-80€ and would take them about 24 hours.Does anybody know a good( and affordable) route back to Austria with different stops maybe?:)
