Hi, I've been waiting for direct trains to be released for the 20th August from Luxembourg City to Paris but the timetable seems to stop in the next week or so. There are only indirect services available from then on, with many requiring a bus for the first leg. Up until next week it seems that TGV Inoui services operate direct several times per day but then no longer. Does anyone know what is happening please? Thanks  

Hallo, Trying to book on the Interrail Eurorail site.  Have had no problem with other bookings.  It is shown as below.  This is the same for St Austell.  Please can anyone help?  Many thanks, Barby  

Hiya! Looking for some thoughts/suggestions on my whirlwind itinerary I’m putting together. I’m coming from Canada, I’m volunteering at the Olympic and Paralympics in Paris. I have a little stretch off between that my husband is going to come so we can go on an adventure. I have a 5 day eurail pass. We’re looking to travel Aug 12-17/18Aug 12 - Start in Paris, Leave early - Stop in Brussels for the day and head to Amsterdam in the evening.Aug 12-14 in Amsterdam. Head to Berlin on the 14th morning. Aug 14-16 in Berlin. Head to Munich on the 16th in the morning.Aug 17 - Munich to Bern, then Bern to Paris in the evening. I’m super inexperienced with planning any train trips as Canada is severely lacking, and I’ve never been to Europe. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated! We aren’t held to any of these locations as I haven’t booked any hostels or train reservations. Thanks!!Krista

Hello,I’ll be starting my EuRail experience in Geneva, second week of July and I have 4 days to get to Paris.I am not a big city fan, and would just like to get in all the best trains routes. Rough plan is:Golden PassGotthard PanoramaBerninaGlacier Express Is it too much?What should I not miss, if I need to drop some routes?      

We’re a family of.5 travelling from Milan to Zermatt in August 2024. What’s the best train route we can take for this trip? When I search using Eurail app, the route that comes up is: Milan Centrale → Domodossola (By Bus???); Domodossola → Brig (By Train); Brig Bahnhof → Zermatt (By Train)Is this the best way to do this trip? And is Milan Centrale to Domodossola route can only be done by Bus? Can we use our Global Eurail Pass for the Bus? Appreciate your help and tips on what the best route we can take for this Milan to Zermatt trip. Thank you.

FSE seems to be owned by/just a regional division of Trenitalia and using trenit app or Trenitalia web site the (many) regional trains and stations in Puglia appear (as do a lot of busses!) but these stations and trains don't appear in railplanner app. Does this mean we have to buy tickets for these routes and can't use our eurail passes?

Hi all,  I have a global pass to explore Europe this summer and I am struggling to nail down my route, hoping you can help! I am currently looking to travel from the UK into Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Portugal (through Pontevedra & Vigo) but I then want to get back to the South of France, onward to Italy. Currently this feels quite clunky as I’d be going ‘back on myself’ ie. from Portugal via train, I would need to back through Pontevedra & Vigo to get to Madrid, Barcelona and then to Marseille / Nice. If I can, I’d like to avoid flights due to needing to check luggage in which drives the price through the roof! Hoping someone with a bit more geography sense (or just...sense) can point me in the right direction ;) Thanks in advance!

The planner on the app doesn’t have any Greek trains as far as I can see - where’s the best place to see the timetable, and are reservations needed for any Greek trains?  also, are there replacement buses over the Greek-North Macedonia border?

Hellow fellow rail travellersLike every year, we can expect a timetable change around 10 December 2023. All the railway companies are working hard to get the new timetable for 2024. Which means we will slowly get some insights and announcements in new offers, and changes in offers the next weeks.If you’re planning for a big trip around Europe in ‘24, please note that information after 10 december 2023 is scarce. This will improve from medio october. Patience is key ;)In this topic we try to bundle the relevant news and information about changes in offers on routes that are traditionally interesting for the typical Interrailer or Eurailers (night trains, long distance new international connections, opening of new lines, touristically intersting routes...).So if you have any interesting updates, please share! It can only help travellers planning for ‘24 to know better what expect.For your information:

Hello all,Hoping to get some recommendations on the best routes for “efficiency”I am planning a 2 week trip from Paris to Prague, middle of July, focusing on Scandinavia.I don’t mind long train rides, even almost everyday - trying to hit most of the highlights.Will have time for some hikes I hope - which should I not miss (in Norway, I imagine)?How far in advance do I need to make reservations? Is 1st and 2nd class reservations the same price? Is there more availability in 1st class? (I am contemplating getting the 1st class pass)Can I count on wifi working on all trains?

Pytanie:”jeśli mam karnet ważny do 30maja,to znaczy, że muszę do  30maja wyruszyć w podróż i mam od tego dnia wykorzystać np. 4 dni z miesiąca? Czy muszę wykorzystać te 4dni do 30 maja?

Hi everyone, Looking to interrail Austria, Italy & Switzerland.Open to other countries. as well as. Has anyone done anything similar or looking to. Any information regarding itinerary, interrailing around would be much appreciated. Thnanks 

we are looking to travel from Zermatt to Milan on 12th June 2024 and I understand that the direct line between Domodossola and Milan will be closed during that time and there will be replacement buses. Where can I find the timetable for these buses and buy tickets? We have Eurail global pass will this cover the bus as well? TIA! 

Hello,I know I am not the only one waiting for the reservations to open for the SJ94 train from Stockholm to Narvik, even with a change at Boden and Bjørkliden.I checked just now on sj.se : what is open is only a departure today and tomorrow. Starting the 22th, it says “Not available” but between 16th and 21th of May, it says “We didn’t find any matching departures”.Is this due to the derailment ? I thought that the train ran daily (even with the Boden connection). Does it ?I plan to travel at the very beginning of July. My final destination is Tromsø. I am looking for an alternative route in case I could not get a ticket through Narvik (and I feel I will know that only a few days before). Do you know if it is easy to travel from Stockholm to Trondheim without a reservation (local trains ?), or with a last minute reservation ? Same question for Trondheim-Bodø even with a seat in the night train.Thank you for any other route suggestion.

Dear community ! I am searching for a good route to go from Carcassonne to Hamburg.

Can you use Eurail to get to the Adventure Park from Barcelona? 

I’m planning a summer (July & August) interrailing trip. So far we have Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Budapest and then we wanted to visit Split, Ljubljana and maybe Venice. Split seems quite hard to get to and from. We don’t mind visiting Zagreb but would we have to do this on the way there and back? Is there a sleeper train from Budapest to Split? How would you suggest we visit these places and is there anywhere else we should visit nearby?

Hi,I just tried to find a Eurostar from London to Amsterdam on November 30th and it says “no trains found” and the dates are not showing up at all as having services.  Before I go and look for flights, just wondering if anyone knows whether there will be trains showing later or if there is a service disruption on that date? Thank you!

Hello, i want to travel with the EC from (Salburg-)Villach to Zagreb and maybe a little bit more around at Croatia. Croatian trains doesn’t have the best reputation for being on time. Does anybody have some experiences on that or any advices for routes at Croatia?

Hi everyone,I’m planning to buy a One Country Pass for Switzerland, probably 3 days in one month.Is it possible to have serveral voyage segments within 1 day?

Or does 1 travel only inlcude one journey or trip per day?Example:Going from Zurich to Chur to Luzern and back to Zurich on one day - is this allowed within a 1 travel day?Or is it only allowed to have 1 direct trip/voyage segment per day, e. g. Zurich to Chur ? Tks for explanation.Sira

Hey!Would be nice to make a collection of offers that can be well combined with an Interrail pass (leisure passes, museumpasses etc.). I am going to start with some interesting offers:Swiss Museum Pass, valid for one year, unlimited visits of museums and some castles (500+ attractions) for 166 CHF per year. If you have a Halffare-Card or GA even cheaper Dutch Museum Pass, valid for one year, when buying a preliminary one (direct in the museum) you can only visit 5 museums at once. Only after you get the plastic card you can visit unlimited one. Price 64,9 Euro + some administration fee for delivery (around 3 euro). They also deliver abroad. Buying online beforehand is only possible with a Dutch bank account. Around 400 museums can be visited for free after purchase. museumPASSmusées (Belgium): Price 59 euro, order online. Only available with address in Belgium, so you need to know someone in Belgium to whom you can send it. 200+ museums

Hey all. I need to get from Paris to Athens in about ten days in June. Most of the other topics here detailed that it could be difficult to move around by train in those countries south of Croatia. I’d love to see Switzerland but that’s really my only true hard set desire in this trip. I was curious, as a first timer, to see what you all think on how you all think i could make this trip happen best in terms of ease in travel and access, as well as somewhat cheaper locations for this trip. (Yes, I know Switzerland doesn’t fall on the cheap side of things.) Thanks!
