Hi, we are starting our trip in Europe from Athens and can't find how to get to North Macedonia (Skopje) I've seen via Thessaloniki but not sure how to do the journey. Also what's the best app to use to look for trains etc totally new to interailing. Thanks.

Hello! I see that this question has been asked before but no answer was clear to me. I will be transferring in Strasbourg, coming from Paris, and going to Interlaken. Will the 10 minute transfer time be enough? Thank you!

I booked the train tickets IC 60403 from Amsterdam to Zurich (departing 9August) as part of my Europe trip. The train stopped in a few stations in Germany much longer than the scheduled time, including Frankfurt Hbf, Karlsruhe Hbf and Baden-Baden. The train was stuck at Baden-Baden until it was more than 90 minutes behind schedule, then there was an announcement saying the train would stop there and everyone had to get off. We then get on another train and ended up arriving at the destination Zurich with about 60 minutes delay. I was trying to look for compensation information, but all I found was I can get 25% refund for 60 to 120 minutes delay at departure, instead of a suddenly terminated and delayed train. Also I was required to fill in and print out a compensation form and return it to a Deutsche Bahn Travel Center if I want a refund. This is not possible for me since neither my starting station nor my destination is in Germany, and I will not go to Germany in my trip so I am not

Hi!I’m visiting Europe from NZ,  planning to buy a 4 days in one month pass for August/September. I have a couple of questions:I assume it isn’t calendar month, but 30 days?

Hi,Tomorrow I travel from Interlaken to Gimmelwald. None of the route is included in the pass however if I buy the tickets at the station I can get a 25% discount on the ticket. However the QR code doesn't show as it's not a travel day so do I just add a journey that is on the pass just so they can see it or do is the page with the pass details enough 

I want to do a trip with a friend together. We have both seperated tickets, when I try to connect them there comes this“Sorry, this is not possibleDifferent passport requirements apply to this traveller, so we cannot add them to your journey. You must book separate seat reservations”why? and how can we book reservations togehter?

This is serious. Here is the message I constantly receive when trying to reset my password (either one I choose or one automatically generated by Firefox.  My own suggested passwords are judged “weak,” something I believe not to be justified.I attach a screenshot of the message I repeatedly receive. 

Hi, My wife and I want to take TGV from Lausanne, Swiss to Paris Gare de Lyon. We already have a eurail pass (activated), and we follow the instruction to add traveler into the”trip”. The problem is that when if we book the seat reservation for each person, the price is EUR 41 (first class). but if we want to book seat reservations together to make sure we can seat aside, the price will become EUR 160. this is not reasonable to me. Is there any advice for us?We hope we can buy the normal price and seat together.thanks a lot.

I want to take this train. Are there seats available? Can I make the reservation at the Bucuresti Nord station? What would you recommend seats, sleeper...?

On the Southeastern website, it seems quite clear that you need to buy a supplement for their high speed trains:You can buy a supplement and upgrade to high speed services if you have:A valid ticket or Season Ticket for any Southeastern service into LondonHowever, this isn't mentioned in the rail planner app, the seat reservations page, the country page or the supplements page.Am I correct in thinking that this information is missing in all these places? Or is there somehow an exception for pass holders that isn't mentioned on Southeastern website?

we are travelling today and daughters pass not activated as it didn’t work yesterday.

I want to go from Sofia to Plovdiv today and then take the night train at 00:03 local time from Plovdiv to Varna. I have a pass with 15 travel days within 2 months. Bulgaria uses CET+1. Travel days last from 00:00 to 23:59 CET. So this trip should take one travel day. However the app wants me to use 2 travel days now which is not right with respect to the information given. I already activated one travel day for going from Sofia to Plovdiv. How can I fix this?

Hi, we arrive in Amsterdam, then go to Bruges,  (day trips in Bruxelles/Gietoorn/Gelft). After 4 days, we go from Bruges to Paris.
