Hey everyone:) I want to book the eurostar from Brussels to London. In order to make a reservation a passport number is needed. Unfortunately my passport is no longer valid, so I first need to apply for a new one, which takes up to 2 months. How can I still book a reservation for the eurostar? As the reservations are limited I want to book in advance. I do have an ID number, can I use that instead? Any experiences ?Thanks for your help!:) Kind regards!

I have reserved tickets in a renfe station for train 09366(Cordoba to Ronda 10.16am). I cannot see this on the interrail app, but the man said it would be fine with interrail. What I don't understand is, if I cannot save the journey to my trip, how I can show my interrail pass at the gate?

I am planning on cycling the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago du Compostela in September. I want to use trains from either Santander or Bilbao to get to Lisbon; however, I want to travel on trains without dismantling my bike. Any suggestions of routes to take with stopovers, if need be, would be gratefully received. 

Hi, when I signed up to interrail/rail planner app/community ( sometime ago)and purchased the global pass, it appears, at the time I used the iPhone/cloud  feature ‘hide your email’. Unfortunately, being a senior and not tech savvy, I thought this was a good idea, not realising that I can’t log in with my current (normal) email address to change my password and update my details, with my new phone. Fortunately, I have been able to find out that I don’t need to log in to rail planner app, it recognises me and I’ve been able to add my pass to it, what is worrying me now though,  is what happens if there is a glitch with the app and I need to reinstall it, will it still remember me? I’m guessing so, as it’s probably linked to my phone/icloud. I just wish I’d kept it simple and not hidden my email address. With that said, taking into account that I’ve already bought my pass and added it to the rail planner app (but not activated yet), is there someway of changing this hidden email address

I’ve built a trip plan on the website via my laptop after signing in.  I can go to My Trips when I look at my account and see it there.  However, the trip plan itself does not appear and I can’t seem to access it.  Not sure what I’m doing wrong.  Twice I’ve gone in and rebuilt the plan, but went in this morning and its gone again.  Any assistance understanding why this would occur would be helpful!

Bitte um Erklärung wie die Fahrkarte hinzufügen funktionieren soll. 

Are hostels a good option for traveling with my family (my husband and three kids)?I’ve been searching on Airbnb and Booking, and I just came across the hostel option. I’m not sure if hostels are suitable for families—what do you think?

Can anyone advise why it isn’t possible to book a train from Lula in Sweden to Lulu? Its clear that there are trains running, but not bookable on inter rail app!

If my son purchases a 15 day global pass, can he use the trains any of the 15 days? 

If I purchase a 15 day global pass, can you use the trains any of the 15 days?

Hi, I am trying to book seats from München to Bologna on 18th july 8.17, 1st class seats. I understand there is a Brenner pass included, and the seats in the italian connection used to be expensive. But the price is still 442 euro for 5 people.  Am I doing anything wrong, or is it this expensive this year?

Hi is the bus Martigny (CH) - Aosta (I) included in the Interrail network?

Can I use the 4 day Interrail Greek Island pass on Seajets ferries? 

Hi All, I are using a Eurail global pass for the 1st time, but keen to understand when the train leg says “No reservations needed”, does this mean you just put your trip in your planner and activate it on the day required and this will generate a ticket. Or does it mean you just rock up an hope for the best the train isn’t full?Any help would be appreciated 

Am I mad or did there used to be a planning map where you could plan the various stages of your journey before booking specific tickets. I’m sure it used to come up as you opened the planning guide. Where has it gone?

He, i am trying to switch my device of my interrail pass, but it only shows a useless qr code.What should I do? Sincerely, Jonas 

I attempted to Book a train from Valence TGV Station to Pierr-des-Corps in France for a departure date of 5 October 2026. I was presented with multiple options. No matter which one I selected,  The message I received was I needed to be within 150 days / AS of today I am within 150 days. Anybody explain what the issue is? I have a one country pass but of course didn’t get far enough in the booking for this to be an issue.

I can’t find a way to book a seat reservation on this direct train (EC19 Zurich Milan) for 11 June 26 or any other dates that I’ve tried over the next three months. I’ve tried the Interrail site, RailEurope, obb, cd, …The Interrail App says: No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.I know I can get other non-direct trains but interested to know why this one doesn’t seem to be available.

This may be a really simple question, but just want to double check! I saw that with the interrail pass in France, it’s eligible for free bus travel. Does this work in the same way as the trains do e.g. it’s only free if you use it on a day of travel? Or is it free all the time?Thank you :)

What should I see in Norway? About to see Bergen.

I am attempting to book Verona to Munich using the German Pass. The information on the drop down box has a tick against valid for German Pass. Then below this with a red bar it states " not valid for one or more pass"What can I do? Reservations are open as less than 90 days out.

I’m embarking on my third interrail adventure in two weeks time, and I’d like to share the route on my Instagram profile. I’ve seen many people share animated maps (where the animation shows the train travelling from the starting point to the destination, with the stopping points marked on the route). Can anyone recommend an app/site for creating this (preferably free, but I’m prepared to pay if there’s a really good user-friendly one). Many thanks!
