Due to the strike, a limited number of trains will be running, and alternative train services will operate in accordance with SNCB railway staff availability. We recommend checking the planner in the Rail Planner App or the SNCB timetable shortly before departing for your planned journey for up-to-date train times.

Zijn er speciale bijeenkomsten op de planning voor interraillers hierin de Randstad?

Hello,I have a reservation for the night train from Bucuresti to Vienna for tomorrow, but since around 2 days, the train does not appear in my Interrail App anymore. It still exists on the ÖBB website (where I also got the reservation from), which makes me wonder how it disappeared from the Rail Planner App.  Any idea if there are any train disruption I should know of?  Also: My reservation starts from Bucuresti though I want to hop in only in Brasov. Do you think that will be a problem?

traveling from Metz to Amsterdam, what is the best route. I assume we want the quickest route.  First time in Europe, trip is in February. 

Bij opvraging van treinreistijden voor een traject krijg ik telkens de boodschap ‘oeps, er is iets verkeerd gegaan’. De timing van de trips is feb-mrt-apr 2026, dus zeker niet te ver in de tijd. Iemand enig idee hoe dit komt?

Hallo, ich möchte am 16.04.26 von 1. Karlsruhe nach Strasbourg, 2. von Strasbourg nach Lyon  und 3.von Lyon weiter nach BarcelonaIch habe eine Interrail Ticket und brauche nur noch Reservierungen.. Ab wann kann man die Sitzplätze reservieren und am besten wo für welchen Abschnitt? DB zeigt beispielsweise an das die Reservierung erst ab 01.04 möglich ist ? Bei SNCF finde ich keine Möglichkeit zu hinterlegen dass ich nur Reservierung benötige? Danke Grüße Peter

I’m looking to book the sleeper from Stuttgart to Zagreb on 24th June 2026. I’m booking through the Nightjet website. The page lists “Construction work - Rail replacement bus service”, but I can’t find any more information on whta this involves (or might involve, it might not be finalised yet). Does anyone know where I can find more information on the rail replacement bus service? If it is very disruptive, we might book an alternative route. Thanks! 

I am planning an interrail trip for five of us. I will be setting it all out on my app, as I have fir myself in the past. Is there an easy way to share the details with my four companions to save them having to add all the journeys individually to their apps.

Hey !! 👋🏻 Me and my friend have been trying to plan our interrail trip the past few weeks and it's so overwhelming we would love some help from someone who's been there.We are from Greece and the original plan of our trip was:Greece to Ljubljana by plane on 3/4. Stay there for 2 days.Ljubljana to Bern on 5/4. Stay 'till 8/4. (3 nights)Bern to Amsterdam 8/4 - 11/4. (3 nights)Amsterdam to Paris 11/4. Stay 'till 13/4. (2 nights)Paris to Barcelona on 13/4 and stay until 16/4 (3 nights).Then fly back from Barcelona to Greece. The thing is. Firstly we would like to explore Switzerland's nature, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen etc. however these are around an hour from Bern and there is not connection from Ljubljana to Interlaken. So we would have to go to Bern (explore there a bit) and then use another travel day to go from Bern to Interlaken etc and then back again to Bern. Do you think we can see everything mentioned in less than a day? And basically use 1 day at bern and the second at Interla

Hallo zusammen,​ich möchte hier mal meine Erfahrungen mit dem Interrail Global-Pass teilen. Ich habe das Ticket zum Glück bei einem Wettbewerb gewonnen. Das war mein großes Glück, denn so musste ich „nur“ die Hotels bezahlen. Hätte ich den vollen Preis für das Ticket auch noch selbst bezahlt, wäre ich über die fehlende Flexibilität und die unlogischen Regeln extrem wütend gewesen.​Das Problem mit der aktuellen Regel:Mein ursprünglicher Plan war eine große Europa-Tour: Von Biessenhofen nach Wien, dann kurz zurück nach Hause (Wäsche waschen, ausruhen), dann weiter nach Frankreich und später nach Spanien. Aber das ist mit dem Global-Pass verboten, weil man im eigenen Land nur zweimal fahren darf (einmal raus, einmal rein).​Besonders für mich ist das eine große Barriere: Ich habe eine Behinderung und kann nicht viele Wochen am Stück alleine unterwegs sein. Ich brauche mein Zuhause als „Basis“, um Kraft zu tanken und mich zu organisieren. Die aktuelle Regel zwingt einen aber dazu, entweder

I'm attempting to make a booking from Australia. The booking is for a trip on April 28, 2026, from Ancona to Patras. I insert all my and my wife's details, as well as the discount details for our Global Eurail pass and our passports. However, when I click on the 'Port Agencies' button, I receive an error message - ‘default extra not found’. See the second picture below.If I leave that blank, then I receive the error message 'Accept the required details to continue with the reservation.' See the first picture below.I have tried booking without the 'early bird' feature and received the same problem. I have tried different types of browsers to no avail. The problem occurs with either credit card or PayPal payment types. We have been booking other services in Europe without a problem. Are you able to assist, please? Many thanksSteven PasseyAdelaide, Australia 

Hey! As suggested by the team at Interrail, me and my friend are now using the online trip planner to support us in planning trains and journeys. We are struggling on planning our route from Nice to Rome. The only option its suggesting is 35 hours long via switzerland. Please can you advise us on the best way to do this travel day. We are aware its a 12 hour journey. We have a global pass.  Thanks!

Hi there,My friend and I are travelling from London to Paris on 28 August 2026. We have already booked the Eurostar separately and will be arriving in Paris at 21:00 on Friday 28 August. We have accommodation booked for two nights in Paris, followed by three nights in Nice.After Nice, we are hoping to continue our trip through Milan, Rome, Venice, Innsbruck (Austria), and Zagreb (Croatia), before flying back to London on 12 September.We have purchased a 5‑day travel pass within one month, but we are unsure whether this will be sufficient for our itinerary or if a 7‑day pass would have been more appropriate. Could you advise whether our planned route is feasible with the pass we currently hold? We would also appreciate some clarification on how a “travel day” works, as we are finding this a little confusing.Thank you in advance for your help.Kind Regards, Eleanor and Emily.

Hi, i was on a trip earlier this month and left my country of residence once and reentered. the 22. of january i would spend my last two days of travel, ive read that i cant exit and reenter my country with my interrail pass again. I was looking at a ticket where i would pay for a ticket to padborg and continue on the train with my interrail pass. Would a ticket to padborg suffice and i would leave the country on the interrail pass? i would buy a ticket to a stop thats right over the border, but the train im looking at only stops there between copenhagen and hamburg. (Padborg is bordering the danish german border but is technically within denmark)

When using your Eurail pass for the discounts on Ferrys, does that count as a travel day?  Such as the overnight ferry from Barcelona to Civitavecchia.

Hallo Zusammen Ich habe die Nachricht erhalten per Email wegen Datensicherheitsverstoss da es einen Vorfall gab. Also kann mir jemand erklären was genau passiert ist?

Hi everyone,my daughter is trying to book EN Tickets for her and her boyfriend on OEBB app for end of April. She has an Interrail pass and he hasn’t. So if she enters both of them, she gets “no tickets available”. It seems to work only if they both enter the same discounts.In the past I haven’t encountered this problem.Is there any way to book their tickets together, maybe on another site/app since it’s not an OEBB train?

Hey,so I am planning an interrail route including the ferry from bari to patras and I want to go on the 13.1.2026. The issue is I can not select any date further than the 10.1. and I can not find a timetable anywhere only. Does anyone know when they update their timetable and when I can book the seats?Another question: Somewhere on the Interrail website it said the bus from Patras to the Athens port is included if you take the fery. Is this still up to date? I am grateful for any help :) 

Hi, Espero poder viajar desde España, por ejemplo desde Barcelona, hacia algún lugar de la costa mediterranea, Francia o Italia son mis principales objetivos. Por tren es una opción pero, ¿hay alguna de hacerlo en Ferry?Muchas gracias dreantemano
