st malo to lille earlier options via alternate routes? (and London Train strike question)

Hi! I’m traveling to Lille from St malo and booked the only seat reservation left from 15:39 29/10 Saturday It’s refundable so I can explore my options.I’m wondering if there are any other train stops that I can look into stopping through so that I can arrive earlier. I tried Versailles and booking individual from Rennes to Paris but no luck. Are there any other stations that I can intentionally stop through to arrive to my final destination earlier? I just don’t know that much about train stations and I’m having a hard time finding that information, but this community has been really helpful in the past with giving me other alternate routes to take. Thank you! PS. Train strikes When there are train strikes, does that mean we should completely take alternate transit like Uber? on the day I leave London Heathrow, there are train strikes and I believe the metro is also not working that day, 3/11 November 3. I’m staying over an hour away LHR by train and metro as is, so I want to be prepa

Nice to UK via Lille - a viable if more expensive alternative to Paris.

We have just returned from a long weekend in Monte Carlo, but couldn’t find any E* from Paris. We could though find a couple of options from Lille.A local train from Monte Carlo to Nice Ville in good time for the morning TGV to Paris Gare de Lyon.Then a RER transfer to Gare de Nord took about 30 mins for late afternoon TGV train to Lille (Connection time was 1 hr) Only stressful time was getting a ticket for the RER - easy once I got to the front of the queue for the machine.A mid centre 4* hotel and an excellent evening meal at on of the many Brasseries within 10 minutes walk ( a little expensive I admit).Then we had the morning in Lille centre, including an excellent Breakfast in another of the great Brasseries at half the price of the hotel.We then walked up to Lille Europe (via EuraLille shopping centre) - about 15 mins walking plus time in EuraLille for a coffee and a dash around Carrefour. Check in for 1335 E* started at 1230 and was a bit slow for passport checks but otherwise e

Traveling! Turkey-Seville-London

Hello! I'm fairly new here, so looking for some advice on a potential travel plan. Now I'm from India, and I plan to travel to Turkey, go to Seville, then London, and then head back to India. I was wondering if there was a direct train of sorts possible for the Turkey - Seville connection, or is there a cheaper was than the Eurail, or what the best way of doing the Europe/UK part of the trip is, since if nothing works out, I think flying if the only thing I can think of.

Paris to Siena

Hi everyone, I want to get from Paris to Siena in August, and back again. Which route would you go? I’ve been looking into various options but because of the landslide etc it all seems a bit complicated, and I’m struggling to find the simplest route. I’m happy to stop 1 or 2 nights on the way so would also like to take into consideration which cities would be nicest to stay in. I’m currently thinking Paris - Basel - Milan - Siena?Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks, Helen :-)

Is it possibile to add new destinations when the pass is already activated?

HelloI have a Global Pass valid for 2 months.I just read on the website something that I don’t quite understand.I wanted to activate the pass next week and I thought I could later add as many trips/connections, new places to visit afterwards depending on where I’ll be and where I want to go next.Is that possible or is it mandatory to add all the travel details from the beginning before the activation of the Pass?Thank you for your help

Krakow to Wengen (Zurich)

I have 2 back-to-back stag do’s in the middle of my month’s interrailing… Stag Do 1 is in Krakow, ending on a Sunday.Stag Do 2 is in Wengen (near Zurich) from Sunday > Thursday. I want to get to Stag Do 2 as soon as possible, as I’ve already paid in full for accommodation, and don’t want to miss out on the action... So I’m either looking at a €250 plane ticket, which will get me there in 2 hours,OR 23 hours of travel on my (already purchased) interrail pass 😫 I was originally set on interrailing and using night trains, but unfortunately, due to frequent changes, it seems like I might struggle to get any uninterrupted sleep for more than 3 hours, which makes the €30+ cost feel like less value for money… Basically, if anyone happens to have taken such a journey before, I’d love any advice you might be able to impart! (I realise this question is about as long as the journey... but you never know who’s out there 🤷😂)
