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

Seat Reservations London Marylebone to Stratford Upon Avon

I added to my pass for the train from London Marylebone Station to Stratford Upon Avon on July 12 leaving at 8:07am. There is a change of trains at Warwick. I tried several sites including Eurail ( which says seat reservations are optional), then went to GWR which says they don't have seats, and it looks like almost the same train but change at Leamington Spa ( which Eurail doesn't have). Went to Chiltern Rail which says they don't make seat reservations. Very confused. Does anyone know anything about this? Suggestions please.

Can I use One-Country (Switzerland) Interrail Pass on Bernina Express from Tirano to St Moritz?

Hi, I plan to travel by the Bernina Express from Tirano (Italy) to St Moritz (Switzerland). I won’t use the Inerrail Pass in Italy. All travel from Tirano onwards will be within Switzerland and I will not return to Italy. Does the one-country Interrail Pass (Switzerland) cover the Bernina Express journey from Tirano to St Moritz? Or do I need to buy the Global Interrail pass? Thanks

Eurail Global pass question

I didn’t see the answer to this anywhere. I would like to purchase my passes now digitally, have them sent to my email, and then load them to my app at a later date (2-3 weeks later). Is this allowed or am I required to add them to my app as soon as they arrive in my email?

From Italy to Spain

Hello, my name is Marco and I am new in the community. The question is about travelling to Spain from Italy. I don’t have a lot of time and I would like to visiti in three weeks just Spain and Portugal, and I noticed that the trains to go there are more expensive than a plane (around 20/30 euro). Do you think it would make sense to travel with the plane to spare money and time, and then activate the pass once I’ll be there? thank you

Seat reservations with Eurail Global pass

I plan to travel by rail this summer through Germany and Switzerland with my family. Originally, I liked the Eurail Global pass because i thought I could be flexible on which train to take as each day presented itself rather than purchase specific routes ahead of time. However now I am learning that a seat reservation should be purchased because of possible crowded conditions with tourists and such. I also learned that you must purchase seat reservations 24 hours prior. If this is correct, then I am back to specific routes and times with no flexibility. What advantage is a Eurail Global pass if you have to buy seat reservations the day prior?  It seems like I should just buy specific tickets which is a bit cheaper. What am I missing…thanks.

Hi,I have a 4 day pass. One of these days is used for the outbound and then 2 days travelling outside my home country. Can I use the last day to only travel inside my home country (so leave from a city that’s in my home country and only take trains inside my home country)?Thanks in advance,Elise

Réservation de place à imprimer chez soi

Bonjour tout le monde, Mon départ est imminent pour un petit tour d'Europe en train mais j'avais une question, j'ai effectué une réservation de place assise sur le site Interrail pour un TGV SNCF afin de quitter le territoire français. Mais cela me dit d'imprimer la réservation. Est-ce obligatoire d'avoir la version papier ? Ce qui m'amène à une deuxième question : dois-je prévoir de réserver ma place assise pour le retour en France et d'imprimer cette deuxième réservation avant de partir ou bien j'aurais la possibilité de présenter le QR code numérique ? (Je ne sais pas encore par quel pays passer pour mon trajet retour) Merci beaucoup pour votre aide

Verspätung Folgezüge verpasst

If I have entered a longer journey with several changes in the mobile app: One of the trains is late and I cannot catch the following trains. Do I then have to put together a new trip or can I take other trains (no reservations) with the notice of the delay without having to re-enter everything?Or, optionally, can I immediately insert several trains as a ticket whose times overlap?

Improved Pass benefits in SwitzerlandProduct update

We're excited to share an update to our Pass benefits. Starting June 1st, travellers in Switzerland no longer need to activate a travel day to use additional benefits or discounted products with the Pass. For an overview of all railway lines included in our Pass and Pass benefits in Switzerland, please visit this link. Tip: If a railway line or product is not part of our network but offers a discount, you will need an active pass, but not an activated travel day. However, if the railway line is included in our network, both an active pass and an activated travel day are required. For inspiration, hop over to our magazine and read the article "Chase Adventure: Switzerland by Train - Interlaken to the Jungfrau Region." We are currently experiencing an issue with our timetable in the Jungfrau region. The stretch from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen, which is included in the Pass, is incorrectly showing as not included. Please rest assured that it is included, and we are working on fixing our time
