Train from Basel to Zurich - Seat Reservations required ?

Hi , Myself and family are trying to book seat reservations from Basel to Zurich early April.Our train is midweek at lunchtime, an IC service. The SBB website states that reservations are not possible.Given the journey is just under 1 hour, I presume given this is such a frequent service that reservations are not required.Thx in advance.

from Bern to London

Hello everyoneI plan to travel from Bern to London via Paris on June 9th. I’ve already made the booking for the 15.12 Eurostar service from Paris to London.Now I found this interesting connection from Bern but I’m a bit worried about the transfer time of only 9 minutes:RE 18122 Bern 06.23 → Frasne 08.06TGV 9264 Frasne 08.15 → Paris G.d.Lyon 11.08Has anyone any experience with this connection? Is the connection guaranteed? My alternative would be travelling via Basel and Strassbourg as trains are more frequent on that route. But the transfer time in Strassbourg is also not too long.Which route would you prefer? I only want to catch the Eurostar in Paris.Thanks in advance for your help.

I need an eticket but a paper ticket is my only option

Hello everyone,I am currently travelling, trying to make my way down from zagreb to split. i have my eurail pass already, so im looking to only book the seat reservation. when i attempt to do so online, eurail website states my only way is though a paper ticket. since i’m not home, it’s impossible for me to receive a paper ticket, so an eticket is my only option. the same issue also arises when attempting to get from gyoer to zagreb. is there a way around this? thanks!

Select seat on train between Germany and France.

I am planning my summer holiday. A part of the journey goes from SW Germany to Paris. This could be one of these trains:Mannheim Hbf 13:42 to Paris Est 16:52 (TGV 9552)OrKarlsruhe Hbf 15:32 to Paris Est 18:16 (ICE 9572)OrKarlsruhe Hbf 18:05 to Paris Est 20:43 (TGV 9560)Since these trains runs in France, I will need seat reservations.If I buy reservations at Rail Europe.com, they will cost 18€. Here I can choose what kind seat I will get (window/aisle and upper/lower deck). But it looks like it is not possible to choose the actual carriage and seat number.But if I book at bahn.de I can get the same reservations for just 4,9€. But here the seat are automatically assigned.Does anyone know if it somehow is possible to get reservations at the cheap DB price AND be able to choose my seat? Maybe DB will be able to assign a specific seat manually, if I contact them.A side node: According to bahn.de all 3 trains is operated by DB Fernverkehr. That makes sense with the ICE train, but it looks

Train from Madrid to Vigo

Hi,I am planning a trip on 15.4.2024 from Madrid to Vigo train AVIA 4115. Since weeks most fast trains are only available unti 30.3.2024. On various community entries I found renfe usually makes them available for reservation about 60 days in advance. This would have been 15.2.2024. Unfortunately their phone support is terrible english and I did not find any mail adress to ask.Does anybody know what’s ongoing here or where I can buy seat reservations?

Eurostar QR code

I’ve begun booking some trips for the summer and have booked Amsterdam to Brussels and Brussels to London. The Amsterdam to Brussels portion has a ticket QR code on the Eurail app, but the Brussels to London segment (on Eurostar) does not. I did, however, have to add additional passport information on the Eurostar website to get my seat reservation for the Brussels-London portion of the trip and I printed out this ticket with a QR code directly from Eurostar. Can I assume that this ticket from Eurostar is the only one I need, and that there isn’t a separate QR code required on the Eurail app?

Eurostar from London to Brussels Not Available?

Hi, I have already reserved a seat on the 11:04 eurostar from London to Brussels on the 2nd July a few weeks ago and today my friend tried to reserve a seat on the same train. When you try to reserve it now it doesnt come up at all on raileurope and says “Not Available” on the eurostar website. My ticket seems to still be valid though and when I look at the seats the vast majority are still available, looking at other trains that day it seems all the trains that continue to Amsterdam are “Not Available”. Is this a timetable issue or are we going to need to change to the next available train?Thank you for any help.

Train Boarding Rules

Hello lovely people,I am planning to travel in the following countries for about 18-20 days in end of May: Germany (i start here) - Switzerland - Italy - France - Belgium - End in Germany. I am planning to buy 4 global passes as i feel it is convenient to have a flexibility with the trains to be boarded. However, i have some questions that i wish to be clarified before buying these passes. Question 1: How does the boarding a train work? Can i simply board any train from one place to other (regional or high speed train)? or is it required to book the tickets on some specific website or any app to avail the pass? (of course i understand a seat reservation has to be made separately otherwise, seat is not guaranteed ). The question is about boarding the train and what to do if ticket controller appears and asks for ticket. Can i simply show the pass on my mobile?Question 2: Does this train include the city metro or trams also? If it does, the same question for boardingQuestion 3: If i buy

Edinburgh - Frankfurt with Eurail Pass

Hi, just wanted to check if anyone here has used the Eurail pass to travel from Edinburgh - Frankfurt/Mannheim I am considering between 3 optionsOption 1:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 24min transfer & check in)1104 - 1405 London - Brussels1425 - 1740 Brussels - Frankfurt Option 2:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1555 - 1826 Paris to Karlsruhe1826 - 1958 Karlsruhe to Frankfurt Option 3:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1709 - 2059 Paris - Frankfurt There will be extra seat reservations if I travel via Paris. I am keen to travel via Brussels, but am afraid of the “short’ transfer time given that I am travelling out of UK (security and customs check). I’m also quite afraid that the ICE train at Brussels would be delayed/cancelled as it seems quite common upon checking the train history. What do you think? Which option would you choose? Let me know!

Does Eurail pass also work for a subways and buses in urban city centers?

Are subways and buses included in "CONTINUOUS Eurail passes" for transit only within urban centers? In other words, would the passes also work for subways and buses in urban centers?

Travelling from Leeds UK via train

Hello, I’m planning to go interrailing later on in the year and am planning on using two of my journeys for inbound and outbound travel from the UK (my home country) and just want to check if it is alright!I live in Leeds, so am planning on taking a train from Leeds to Kings Cross and then changing to get the Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels. Then I’m planning on returning by flying into Luton Airport and taking the train back up to Leeds. My plan is to get a train from Luton Airport to St Pancras and then travel with LNER back up to Leeds. Is all of this ok and does it count as one outbound and one inbound journey? Are all of the trains I have listed included with an interrail pass?Thanks!!

Paper pass for Eastern Europe

Hi everybody, Going for a trip through Eastern Europe with end destination Istanbul this summer. Including 2 kids. Should it be more safe choosing the paper option? Regarding the countries as Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. If the conductor doesn’t accept mobile tickets or app we have nothing to show, no? Or are we wrong? When I visit the interrail website i feel a strong push towards mobile passes, but also for Eastern Europe? Anyone with experience, please some advice, Grts

Problem with seat reservation france-spain

Hi everyone,I’m trying to make a seat reservation from Valence (France) to Barcelona, but it doesn’t allow me, as it shows in the image below. Can anyone tell me what can I do? Should I go to any Spanish train station and buy it from there? Does the Interrail pass applies, or do I have to pay the whole ticket independently from the Interrail pass?Thank you very much,Lúa

Switzerland to Italy Summer 2024

Hi,We are planning to travel from Geneva to Milan on Sun 21 July 2024 and we can’t find any sensible options. We had planned to travel over the border between Brig and Domodossola but this appears to be shut for the summer, does anyone know when a rail replacement timetable will be in place and how much of the line will be closed. I’m concerned about how long it might add to our journey as we’re travelling with two small children.Are any other options recommended? We’ve been looking at Zurich - Milan via Lugano but again can’t find any trains for the Swiss / Italian border crossing.Any advice would be great, every option we look at seems to fail!Cheers,Claire
