We know our community members enjoy hearing about innovations in the rail industry - so we created a round-up of exciting highlights from our visit. InnoTrans is renowned as the world’s biggest trade fair centered on the rail transport industry. Held every two years at the Messe Berlin exhibition centre, this year’s event took place from September 22 to 25, and we had the pleasure of attending. Here's a round-up of the exciting highlights from our visit. InnoTrans: Impressive Scale Our visit to Berlin was a fantastic opportunity for networking, learning about the latest industry developments, and reconnecting with familiar faces. We quickly realized the sheer scale of InnoTrans exceeded our expectations. With an impressive turnout of nearly 3,000 exhibitors from over 50 countries and around 170,000 visitors from 133 different countries, it really gave a great sense of just how complex and vibrant the industry is.

I am checking if it will be possible to travel by train with my two cats. Has anyone experience with this?
I am planning to visit Windermere, Canterbury, Dover, Bath, and Chesterfield from London. I’m wondering if I can use the Eurail Pass for these trips. When I use the trip planning tool on the Eurail website to search for those cities (except for Bath), they don’t show up, so I’m not sure if it’s possible. However, all the cities appear on the Rail Planner app. Also, I’m wondering if I can access lounges if I purchase a first-class ticket.
I returned 2 paper passes 3 weeks ago and bought mobile ones instead. I am worried that I haven’t received a refund yet as it is a lot of money! Has anyone else had problems with refunds? Janice
Hi, we’re planning a trip this summer and thought we’d buy a one country pass through France. We’re wondering if Corsica is considered part of France or would we have to buy a Global pass if we wanted to cross to Corsica from Marseille? Does anyone have any tips on train travel in Corsica?Many thanks
Does anyone please know whether a France only Interrail pass is valid on SNCF trains to Mullheim from Mulhouse?
How far in advance can you see prices and book? I want to work out if it’s cheaper for me to get Eurail passes or just buy individual sectors between Zurich, Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Krakow and Berlin. Also to assess if it’s worth upgrading for business or first class seats compared to regular seats.
Hi there,We’re planning to use a global 7 day pass this summer to travel from the United Kingdom to mainland Europe. Our trip is as follows:Day 1: Lancaster UK to London (overnight in London)Day 2: London to AmsterdamDays 3 - 7: Travel in EuropeDay 8: Paris to London to Lancaster UK.I want to know:Whether the Lancaster to London outbound trip is covered by the global pass, or not, because the whole trip from Lancaster to Amsterdam is split over 2 days? Whether the Paris to Lancaster trip is covered by the global pass, because it takes place in a single day? 3. If I buy the pass now and activate it so I can plan the trip and book seat reservations, how long is it valid for? I.e. will it still be valid in July when we actually travel?Thanks so much!
May I use Global Pass for Edinburgh -Mallaig route ?
Hey! I’m Paulo, I’m 18 and from Portugal. I’m planning to travel this summer (July or August 2025).I haven’t made any plans yet, so feel free to share your ideas! I’m the kind of guy who’s always up for anything when it comes to traveling.Insta: pauloo.gb
What is included in first class?
Icelandic phone number is not accepted while booking seats online.
Hello,I purchased an Interrail pass a few weeks ago to travel to Italy. However, I am realizing that there are a lot of additional costs. For example, we planned to travel from Brussels to Ljubljana to stay there for two days, then Ljubljana-Florence, Florence-Rome, Rome-Naples, and Naples-Amalfi.From Brussels to Ljubljana and from Ljubljana to Florence, we are offered night trains that must be booked directly through the ÖBB company. In this case, we are paying a "regular" price, and it seems there is no advantage to using the Interrail pass, if I understand correctly.Additionally, for every single journey within Italy, we are required to reserve a seat, which costs around 15 euros per person each time (whereas buses are much cheaper than train reservations via the Interrail app, around 5 euros per person).After doing the math, using the pass ultimately costs me an extra 137 euros.I wanted to check if I misunderstood something. Are my journeys actually more expensive with the Interrai

Background: I am an experienced train traveler, but brand new to EurailPass and the Rail Planner app. For a summer 2025 vacation, I have purchased Eurail Global 15-day continuous passes for my wife and myself, added them to the Rail Planner app, and associated them with a My Trip. On the app, I found a pair of outbound and return rail journey and associated them with our Trip.Then, following the links on the app, I was directed to the Eurail website where I purchased seat reservations for those two journeys. I received the confirmation email with attached barcoded seat reservation tickets.My question: I can’t figure out how to associate the seat reservations with my journeys on the Trip in the app. Is that possible? If so, how do I accomplish it?Thanks in advance for your help. —Marne
