thanks so much Anna.

Overnight accommodation and an evening meal should have been provided by Dutch railways. Interrail will probably forward that part of the claim. What did Dutch railways offer themselves?

Did Eurostar rebook you without any problems on a train the next day?

You might have made it-but with probably then probs with the €*, to not take the very roundabout route via AMS but direct -on to Köln from Duisburg-ICE to Brussel/BE and catch perhaps even same €* from there. There is theory and praxis for all these cost and NS is not well known for doling out HTL etc. Plus that they for now have many monthes of backlogs to handle claims-no staff.

Hey thanks. Should I just fill in the online compensation form on Eurail website (I suppose they will handle the train delay/cancellation parts and forward the overnight accommodation and meal parts to the DB?) Or should I do it seperatly (i.e., train delay/cancellation on Eurail website and mail overnight accommodation and meal receipts to DB). I am quite confused and have no idea what should I do now. Yes I managed to rebook my Eurostar with no extra cost.

I would start with Eurail/Interrail customer service and no doubt they will then advise you on which way to progress your claims. However they do prioritise their responses based on urgency of current travellers so it may take some time to get a response, but at least it is currently low season so they should be reasonably responsive at the moment.

Thanks Yorkie. I have just submitted the compensation form.
