Hi guys,
I have an inter-rail pass (15 days in 2 months)
So I want too take the train from Port-Bou (Spain) too Zurich (Switzerland) in one day, and there is a route with no seat reservations required,
However the layover times are quite short (12 minutes - 20 minutes) and the site only says “no seat reservation required” “your ready to board”
My question is, do I still need to somehow book physical tickets for these trains? I take it I cannot hop off one train, and straight onto the next without actually having a ticket?
And in that sense, is 12/20 minutes enough time too book these tickets once I hop off the train, considering I do not speak French, or German so might be a little hard to navigate the train stations and quickly get the ticket I need?
Because the ticket thing I’m looking at on my interrail app has all the journeys for that day, so the QR code is the ticket for each journey? and in that case where do I sit? just anywhere?
Also, should I take my Passport or is an ID card enough for the train stations / and in case of a spot-check by border control(if there is any)? (I have never taken the train before and i’m not certain how this works, only flown)
Thanks in advanced for any help :)
