2025 Swiss Timetable

Hello All. I am wondering if someone can advise when the 2025 Timetable (from 15th December 2024) will be issued and bookings will be available for Swiss trains.I am holidaying in December and wish to book Bernina Express reservations but timetables are not available past 14th December. The SBB and Rhaetian Railwat websites indicate that consultation on the new timetable completed in June but I can’t find anywhere that says when the new timetable will be issued and when we can book post mid December.

Lyon to Barcelona reservation

As part of my trip this summer I am travelling from Geneva to Barcelona. The section from Lyon to Barcelona says seat reservations required (which I have booked for other parts of the trip) and that it is from 10euros. But when I am trying to book it seems to say that it can only be done at the local station? Does anyone know anything about this? I am nervous about not having a seat reservation for this part of the journey.Grateful for any advice or knowlege?Many thanks

Travelling in my own country - over two days

Hi All - I have a niche question relating to travelling in my own country. We are based in Scotland and I know that for us the UK counts as home country or departure country, I also know that you use one of your travel days to leave but it may take me two so I want to check if the following is valid on a four travel day interrail pass… Travel Day 1- UK to UK - Caledonian Sleeper from Glasgow to London - arriving 0715 on Travel Day 2Travel Day 2 - UK to Netherlands - Leg 1 - Eurostar London to Amsterdam/ Leg 2 Amsterdam to DeventerTravel Day 3 Return from Deventer to LondonTravel Day 3 (night train) - London to GlasgowTravel Day 4 used to cover rest of London to Glasgow Trip My concern is that I am on Travel Day 2 before I leave UK - however it is one journey in three stages with only a couple of hours wait in London Do you think it would be valid?

TGV alternative

Hello, after our stay in the Spanish Basque Country, we'll travel with Interrail through France back to the Netherlands from September 5 or 6. We don't want to reserve our seats on the TGV for this, but prefer to travel back to the Netherlands by the 'normal' train like the TER over several days. The question is, do we also have to reserve seats for the 'normal' train? Can anyone let us know? many thanks!

Eurail Global Pass first time user

Hello Everyone!This is my first time here. I will be travelling to France this coming August 3-9. August 3-5, Paris FranceAugust 5-9, Colmar FranceNow here’s the tricky part on my travel situation. I have a booked hotel in Colmar, France from August 5-9 and I am planning to visit different country on the duration of my stay in Colmar. The travel would be to and from each day. I know it’s not the most ideal itinerary but I made a mistake booking the hotel and so I decided to just make the most of it. I have bought a global pass for 5 days. I still can use my global pass even if i have go back to Colmar at the end of each day after visiting a different European country?Appreciate all the replies.

Paper Pass: how to omit start date

I am trying to purchase the 20 per cent discounted Global Paper Pass, but the ‘details’ required include a ‘start date’ for the Eurailpass. I want to leave this blank as I have for previous purchases of paper passes, but the system won’t let me, as it insists on a date. How do I solve this?

How are inbound journeys counted?

Hi all! It’s my first time traveling with Interrail (Global Pass) and I’m wondering if I’ve gotten myself into an unfortunate situation with my inbound journey.My home country is Sweden, and my return plan is to take an overnight train from Hamburg to Malmö, then transfer there and return to Stockholm (I’ve booked the seats for these two stretches together, from Snälltåget’s website). However, I’m wondering if I’ll actually be able to travel both of these stretches using my inbound journey, as the overnight train leaves Hamburg at 11:59pm, and I’m concerned that this will be marked as two trips involving Sweden on two different days (Hamburg-Malmö departing on Tuesday [again, this is at 23:59], and Malmö-Stockholm on Wednesday). I know night train travel days are assigned to the date of departure, but I haven’t been able to find any other clear information on how the rules apply here.If anyone would be able to tell me how the inbound journey rule applies here, and what I could do, I wo

Using my Mobile Global Pass

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are first time Interrailers and we bought a 7 days in 1 month Global Pass. Our journey will start next Friday, so we haven't activated our pass yet but are looking into that. We just don't really get how it works...we read that once you activate your Pass, you can't change your trip anymore. But what if our train time(s) change? We saw that you have to "swipe" your journey to get a ticket but we're just a bit confused and nervous about how it works exactly.Help is very much appreciated!

boarding nighttrain and ferry

We are a group of 4, tickets booked together, now one is ill and can't travel with us. Will it be a problem when we will use the ticket to the nighttrain where we have a cabin, and the greek ferry where we also have a cabin? We can't change the reservation, we paid for it already, and are not trying to get a refund. But I seem to remember I read somewhere, that all names on the ticket needs to check in.. but I simply can't find the answer anywhere. And the companies didn't help. Perhaps someone tried something similar?
