Bus ticket or train

Hi! I am planning to go to Nyons in France from Sweden, with a stop in Switzerland. I will go from Geneva to Nyons on the 23 of January. In the app it proposes to take the bus between Montelimar and Nyons. (In the app it actually calls it train, but when searching for it I am pretty sure it’s a bus.) Since this is proposed in the app, does that mean it’s covered by the interrail ticket or will I have to buy a separate ticket? How does one keep track of what the ticket covers and not? Especially when it seems like the app sometimes calls busses “trains”. Very thankful for some help!

Train routes require seat reservation - never available for Norway, Sweden and Denmark

I have been attempting to plan train travel (March) in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. I have a EURAIL Global pass purchased. On train routes (Example: Copenhagen to Stockholm) seat reservations required - but they are never available. This is becoming increasingly frustrating to attempt to organize my trip and I am starting to think these passes are a massive waste of money. What are my options? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to proceed? Thank you

One adult travelling with 2 children under 11 - Seat reservations

Hi, I’m looking at booking a 4 day Interrail pass for me and my children who are 10 and 7. According to website this pass is around £220 and the children don’t need to pay, is this correct? Also the 4 days travel will be one day from London to Barcelona, another day from Barcelona to San Sebastián in Spain, another from San Sebastián to Brive la Gallairde and last day from Brive la Gallairde back to London; are all of these routes available with the Interrail pass? Thank you

Trips on website different than trips on app

When I log in to the website, there is a single “My eurail trip” under my trips. On the railplanner app I created 2 trips with different names.How do I get the trips to be the same on the website and on the app? I want to be sure the reservations I am adding through the website are going to the trip I am using on the app.

Home country. Does a connection count as an additional outbound journey?

Hello!My home country is the UK. If I buy the global pass, can I travel from Liverpool to Paris, then Paris back to Liverpool?I’m aware there will be a €36 charge for my seat reservation. But, just wanted to check if the above is ok?I seen somewhere that you’re allowed one outbound journey with the global pass. I will be changing at London though, so will Liverpool to Paris count as one outbound journey? Or will it be counted as two (Liverpool → London → Paris).Thanks for your help!

Booking seat reservation; What is the €9 for that you pay next to the seat price?

Hello!On the trip from Prague to Budapest it is mandatory to reserve a seat. When I go to make the reservation, it appears that it is mandatory to pay these €9 apart from the €6 for the seat. Can someone explain to me why these €9 are mandatory and what they are for? Once I pay and reserve the seat, how will I receive the reservation ticket and the seat number?Thank you!

Seat and bed reservation Berlin HBF to Malmö Central

Hi everyone! New Eurail couple here and we are super confused about the seat “Reservation” required on most of our selected trains in our trip for MAY 2022….either the Eurail app says to do it “at station” and on countries’ train website it says “reservation impossible”also, the Eurail and countries train websites times, are often different …..Am I reading too much into this or is this difficult to get in sync?Are long night-train cabins worth it and how long before a trip can those be reserved?

passport ID changed

Hi guys, I won an interrail ticked from die EU! When I won it I signed up with my passport ID of course. However I had to get a new passport due to the fact that it lost its validity. Well, I still have my old passport with this old passport ID (but of course its not valid any longer). Do you guys think that everything will be fine if I just bring my old passport as well just to be sure that I can prove that the interrail pass is actually mine?Thank you for your help in advance Marie :)

Problems with 'My Trip' on the mobile pass

Hi, I’m a first time user and am having problems with the mobile app.I add the first three trains to ‘My Trip’.They appear as a list - so far so good.However if I close the app and come back to it later -When I press ‘My Trip’ only one of the previously entered trains appears.Press ‘My Trip’ again and a different random train from the previously entered trains appears.I can’t get the whole list to appear.This has a knock on effect when I try adding the trains to ‘My Pass’Only one random train appears on the ticket!Has anyone else had this problem - am I doing something wrong?Using iPhone X, software 15.4, Interrail app version 23.0.0Many thanks

Reservations for mobile pass

I’m trying to use the rail planner app to reserve tickets with a mobile pass and in most cases it says that I can only book these in person. Does this mean as soon as I get to Europe (my stop will be Munich), I have to go to a ticket office and reserve the tickets there and hope they have some free?

Railplanner not working on Android

Not able to get any train times. No matter which country or stations I try. Tried on several mobiles, tried reinstalling, asked a friend to try on his. Didn’t help.All I get is a blank reply and the text “Sorry, we can’t find any trains that match your search”.

Can I board a sleeper after the station I booked from?

I’m thinking about using my pass to board the Vienna to Kiev sleeper, but I might prefer to do so from Budapest rather than Vienna.Of course Ukraine isn’t in the Interrail pass area, but you can use a pass to cover the section up to the border, which is really useful. This isn’t something I found out myself, it’s from this helpful blog: https://railguideeurope.com/nightjet-eurail/Anyway, to cut to the chase, the price from Vienna, for two passholders sharing a compartment, bought at oebb.at, is €114. However, this can only be bought from Vienna (not from any other station en-route) and the ticket can only be collected in person within Austria (so I would probably have to do the journey west-east, in order to have been to Austria first).To buy from or to Budapest, the only option is to go with an agency like Polrail, which doesn’t count any Interrail discount, and charges a whopping 1220zł (€270), plus whatever postage of the physical ticket costs to where you live (unless you collect i

Pass cancellation mobile pass

We have two mobile passes and want to cancel them. We already added 2 of 4 travel days (in one month) but deleted them again, so the passes are deactivated. How can we cancel them to get the money (or a part of the money back). The first travel day that we added is in the future so we have not started the pass.Thanks

The planner showed several connections for Munich - Cambridge. But the reservation tool not.

Dear community,I have an urgent question. I read that it is possible to travel spontaneously with interrail. I bought a pass and want to travel from Munich to Cambridge tomorrow and from Cambridge to Vannes on sunday. THe planner showed several connections. But the reservation tool not. There is actually no bookable connection as it seems for both journeys.How can I realize my travel plans? Is the reservation tool not connected to the planner? (WHY???)Thank you for your help.

SNCF train reservation

Hello, I went to Slovenia for the holidays with the interrail pass and I am in the process of organizing my return. However, I encountered some problems when booking certain trains. Especially for a TGV between Munich HBF (Germany) and Paris Est (France) on Thursday 12 August. It leaves at 06:46 AM and arrives at 12:33 AM and it has as reference the TGV 9576. When I am on the interrail booking tool, I cannot book the train. So I tried directly on the oui.sncf site, but again it was impossible to reserve only the seats. How would you proceed in this situation? thanks in advance M.Bouchet

Can't access the self-service reservation tool

Hello! I am getting ready for a 2 month Eurail trip and I cannot seem to book my reservations for my first country, Norway. This could all be my own error but I would really appreciate any guidance someone may have!I have a first class 2 month mobile global pass and my journeys for Norway show up in the Rail Planner as reservations required. Every time I open the “Book reservations” page on the Eurail site after logging in though, I do not see any timetable for me to book.I added the 3 journeys I need for Norway onto my trip in the Rail Planner app and connected my pass (didn’t activate yet) and I still cannot see anything once I follow the steps in-app to get to the reservation self-service. Even when I log into my account on the site and go to “My trips and travelers”, the site shows me a blank page which I assume means that they have not even recognized that I created a trip on the app and connected my pass. I have been getting really confused and would appreciate any sort of help,
