Pass reservation TGV Paris to Forbach / Saarbrücken

Hello,  I’d like to buy a pass reservation for a TGV train from Paris to Forbach. Unfortunately, for our train SNCF claims that all seats are booked. Strange to say that for the same train it’s possible to book seats from Paris to Saarbrücken, but not for the shorter trip to Forbach.However, this would change our trip to be an international trip and to consume a home country day of our pass in germany which we don’t have available. Would it work to get a pass reservation to Saarbrücken and use our pass only for the way to Forbach, so no home country day would be used? It’s even bad enough that reservation fee goes up from 10€ to 18€ due to this-

No 1st Classe seat Reservation Shown

Hi,I try to book a seat reservation from Homburg HBF (Saar) to Vienna HBF for the 20 June, but there is no 1st Class seat reservation shown for ICE 563 Homburg-Munich, but 1st and 2nd class reservation on the Munich to Vienna leg.Could it be that the Homburg to Munich ICE has only second Class and no first class, or is first class already booked out. When I go to www.raileurope.com, it only shows no seat reservation required but I am unable to book a seat reservation.Is there a website which shows the trains aND WHAT CLASSES THEY HAVE?Regards,Horst

Alps/Pyrenees

Hi all! A small group of friends and I are gearing up for a trip to the Picos de Europa in Spain this May. Our 15-day journey will take us through the Alps, possibly including the Pyrenees based on recommendations. Our focus will be on activities like bouldering, scrambling, via ferrata, and hiking. Starting from the Lake District, our first stop will be Fontainebleau for some bouldering. Another stop is Magic Wood, also known for bouldering, (we will get the train to Chur and then link with public transport).As we’re still in the planning stage, we're open to suggestions on how to seamlessly connect our destinations via trains and local public transport. Quality over quantity is our priority but any recommendations are greatly appreciated!Thanks :)

ÖBB Nightjet says tickets "unavailable" more than 3 months in advance? + how do seat reservations from train companies work

Hello, I’m trying to get a nightjet from Vienna to Venice overnight (24 to 25 of July). The Eurail timetable says “Reservation fees vary based on demand” and seat reservations required but doesn’t give me an option to reserve it. The OBB nightjet website says no offers available and the general OBB website says ticket unavailable. Does this mean it’s already sold out? Really didn’t think it could possibly sell out so early out but I guess it is a popular time. Any help would be appreciated.

BOOK NIGHT TRAIN FROM ZURICH TO PRAGUE - MAY 22 2024

Hi Community. We are Eurail 1st Global Pass holders and seniors. We are travelling from Zurich and would like to travel by night train to Prague. I have read on the Community page that the night train will not run from late June. The message we receive for the 22 enquiry is :There are no direct night train connections for the selected route on your desired travel date. I have looked at alternative dates and get the same response. Ideally we would like to take the 50467 sleeper train departing at 20:40. There are no options available. Are we doing something wrong? Or is this connection no longer running? I have contacted OBB but have not yet received a response. Once again, thank you in advance for your input.

Hi, I am looking at a journey from Salzburg to Bad Goisern in July. It gives me different times on DB app and OBB app. Maybe it’s a little too far in advance, but which would be the best app to confirm times closer to tne time? Many thanks
