Hi everyone, I am conducting an academic research about the liberalization of passenger high-speed rail and currently I am trying to find which countries in Europe have competition, i.e. more than one rail operator, in high-speed rail.So far what I know:Spain has competition in high-speed rail with three companies (Iryo, Ouigo and Renfe) In Italy, there is competition in high-speed rail with TrenItalia and Italo Within France, the only competition is found in international routes: Barcelona - Lyon (Renfe) and Paris - Lyon - Milano (TrenItalia and SNCF). But for all the other routes, only SNCF.I wanted to ask if you know which other countries have more than one operator in their high-speed rail network.Any help will be highly appreciated!🤗

If I need to do personal stuff abroad other than tourism, is it ok to use interrail for that? Is it permited to repeatedly do the same journey?

Goodmorning! I have book on the OBB a ticket for the NJ 294 from Bologna to Munchen on the 8 of August, but the same train is not showing on the RailPlanner App. Do you have some suggestion? Also, even the train from Rome to Bologna on the same day is not showing on the app.

15 days within 2 months ticket is 389 euros.15 days unlimited ticket is 349 euros.Isn’t the second one more logical? Why the first one is more expensive?

Hi, I would like to know if the Eurail can be used for the water taxi / ferry from Venice St Lucia to the Venice Port where like the shops and stuff are.

I understand that when I activate my pass I use my first travel day. I need to add a journey to make a ticket. My question is that can  I change my journey during the day? If I for example go from Copenhagen to Hamburg and my next trip would be towards Berlin according the planned journey but I would like to change it to some other place. Is this possible?

HelloIs it possible to book a reservation seat on another way then the interrail website?We will take the  night train on September 13th from Ljubljana to Zürich. On the interrail website and the website of OBB (I guess this is the train company), it’s not possible… I’ve checked on other dates and this is the same for all dates, so I guess that the train isn’t fully booked?Does someone now another way to check it or to make a seat reservation?A lot of thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a 1 month Senior Interrail pass for the first time and my country of permanent residence is Spain. I am about to travel from my home in Malaga to London, via Madrid, Barcelona and Paris and that is all booked and sorted. However on my return trip I am taking the overnight Brittany Ferries from Plymouth to Santander, then onwards by train to Malaga via Madrid, all in the same afternoon. My question is this - does Santander count as a border point for entry into Spain, therefore allowing me to use the Interrail for 1 continous journey onwards on that day of arrival, or would it be considered an internal Spanish trip and so not valid? Thanks

i have had an accident and going to struggle for the last 3 weeks of my trip is it possible to ‘park’ those 3 weeks and resume when i feel better 

Salve, una domanda. Se prendo un treno durante il giorno e quindi uso un giorno di viaggio, se la stessa sera prendo un treno notturno e arrivo la mattina dopo, mi consumerà un giorno di viaggio in più o anche se il giorno di viaggio è stato attivato, posso comunque prendere treni infiniti e anche notturni entro quel giorno?

Greetings, OBB site seems to indicate that when we make reservations for Italian trains on OBB, the reservation has to be printed on A4 paper. Isn't it possible to show the pdf reservation from a mobile phone? Is a physical print out compulsory? Thanks 

HelloHere is the plan : I live in France nearby Switzerland and I will start my trip in this country, activating interrail once I got there.From there, I’m leaving for Italy, then I go back in France, but in Bordeaux, faaar away from home. The plan would be to go home using InterrailMy question is do we have two travel in the country of residence or does it have to be to or from an other country ? Because I don’t use Interrail to get out of my country, does it give me an extra one ?all the bestSimon

Hi there, may I ask if the pass is only for train or all the other public transportation within EU? For example, tram and bus?
