Solved

Before I spend $$ on a pass I'd like to know if these trains are covered.


Hello!

I've been very frustrated trying to decide if I should buy a pass or just book each train directly. I don’t know which trains in different countries are covered under a pass vs. not. This is a big ask but I’m wondering if someone can give a Yes or No on each of the following trains (would they be covered under a Global Eurail Pass)?

 

July 1, 2023: Milan to Salzburg
Italo #8977 Milan Centrale to Verona Porta Nuova
Eurocity#84 Verona Porta Nuova to Innsbruck Hbf
Railjet #769 Innsbruck Hbf to Salzburg Hbf

Frecciarossa #9705 Milan Centrale to Verona Porta Nuova
Eurocity (EC) #88 Verona Porta Nuova to Innsbruck Hbf
Railjet Express #867 Innsbruck Hbf to Salzburg Hbf

July 3, 2023: Salzburg to Munich:
Bayerische Regiobahn #79040
Railjet Express #64

July 6,2023 Munich to Paris
 Intercity-Express (ICE) #690 Munich Hbf to Stuttgart Hbf
Intercity-Express (ICE) #9574 Stuttgart Hbf to Paris Est
TGV #9576 Munich Hbf to Paris Hbf  

July 11, 2023 Paris to London
Eurostar #9015 Paris Nord to  London St. Pancras International

July 11, 2023, London Paddington to Kemble
First Great Western Service any trains

June 29 Milan to Venice
Italo #8973 Milano Centrale to Venice Venice S. Lucia
Frecciarossa #9705 Milano Centrale to Venice Venice S. Lucia

If you could indicate (Yes/No) for each of these highlighted trips whether they will be covered under a global pass, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks!

Italo is not valid, the rest are.

Eurostar, TGV, Frecciarossa all require reservations, Eurostar should be reserved as soon as you can.

Most of the rest have optional reservations.

Eurocity 84 has a mandatory 10 euro supplement but it often includes a seat reservation with it. OEBB is one source.

Thanks for the comments! 

I couldn't tell if First Great Western is included under the “National Rail” system in England? Can anyone confirm this one in particular?

All UK railway companies are included except Heathrow Express.

First Great Western was renamed Great Western Railway (GWR) some years ago, it is included..
