Having issues when book Seat Reservations on GWR

Hi everyone, I was trying to book seat reservations for some UK trips, however, when it comes to this stage (shown on the picture below), the page doesn't refresh when I click the “continue” button. Has any one had the same issues of it’s just me? I did switch to different browsers and it was the same.

Validity of the Pass

When I buy the 4 days in one month ticket, is it activated since the date of the purchase or does it start with the first day of travel?

Planning a trip from Berlin to Bath (UK)

Hi everyone,I want to travel from Berlin to Bath(in the UK).I know that if I were to book over Deutsche Bahn this trip takes about 10 hours, especially because part of the trip is to go directly from Berlin to Cologne with an ICE (fast train).With the Rail planner it's ca. 15 to 18 hours, because it only proposes slow trains for basically the same trajectory. Is there a way to put together a route of my choice with the specific trains of my choice and still just only use one travel day of my pass, if yes, how would I do that? I'd still have to take 3 different trains with the quicker connection. But I don't know how to book this as one connection.I have the Interrail Global pass - flexi pass 4 days within one month.I'd be super thankful for any advice!!

Seat Reservations

I have the interrail pass and travelling to Paris on the weekend. The last train needs seat reservation but I cannot reserve through the app. It says “Pass holder reservation may be sold out”I have everything planned and really cannot cancel my travel! Is there any other way I can get the seat reservation?Thanks!

Two Country Pass Eliminated?

Hi. I can only find passes within one country or all 33 countries. I was looking to buy a pass for two bordering countries. I thought these used to exist. Have they been eliminated? Thanks for the help.

"Activate this pass by" - exact date?

Hey there,might be a stupid question, but it really matters to me.I have a 2 month global pass and in the Railplanner-App it says “Activate this pass by 19th April”. Just to make sure: I can activate it ON the 19th april, right? I dont have to do it UNTIL 19th April?I am a bit nervous about my trip, so I just wanted to make sure not to be 1 Day too late :DThank you very much.P.

Booking on the trainline itself

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

Studying abroad in Europe (Switzerland): Eurail or Interrrail

I’m a student from outside Europe studying abroad (on exchange) in Switzerland for 4 months. I just bought a Global Pass for a trip to Germany but noticed belatedly that I had bought the Interrail pass instead of the Eurail one, probably because I indicated Switzerland as my country of residence. I have not yet received my residence card, but I do have proof of registration at the Resident’s Office here. Seeing as I will likely have to activate my pass on 6/7 Apr (in a few days), I am a bit anxious and would like to seek reassurance that I don’t have to exchange my Interrail pass for an Eurail one. In short, can I use the Interrail pass I bought despite not having a European passport? I really don’t want to get fined.

Train from Florence to Rome airport

Hi, I am coming to Italy on 18-April. Have to travel from Florence to Fiumicino airport. My flight is at 10pm. I have time from 10am in the morning at Florence. I thought of exploring Vatican city on the way. I want to drop my luggage in a station (may be Roma termini) before I can explore the city and collect it later while going to airport. What is the cheap and best option to travel and explore the city?

About Global pass

Hello travelers! How are you? I am a Brazilian traveler, but, i never use the Eurail Pass. I'm going to travel around some countries in Europe, but in Italy I intend to visit more cities (Venice, Bologna, Modena,...). In that case, can I use the Eurail Pass Global inside Italy? Another question about this. I wanna buy the Eurail Pass Global 22 days. Do these days count even if I don't use it on my trip for a few days? for example I'm going to Italy and spend 3 days there without using my Pass, in this case, do the 3 days count or not?

Can't purchase reservations bc says one res is no longer available but doesn't say which!!

I spent more than an hour trying to book all the reservations for our trip to Europe in April/May. I go to check-out and says one reservation is no longer available!! After an hour? Okay, but it doesn’t say which. Frustrating. I try to click back to see if at any point it tells me which reservation is no longer available, but no, it does not! Instead, it empties my cart,I wish I had not purchased the Eurail Pass. The last time I purchased, back in 2018, it was great. You could speak to someone, spend time with them booking reservations, etc. Now you get an email back in two days!! And the reservation prices are all over the place - much more than they said on website. Plus, a $5 fee per reservation!

Can't book a specific seat reservation?

I am trying to make seat reservations for trains from Paris to Lucerne on 7th May 2023. One leg is Paris Est to Strasbourg (France) on ICE9571 leaving Paris Est at 6:55 am. Even though it shows up in the search with reservation cost, when I go forward and fill in the passenger details, it fails with “‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore” error. I am not able to confirm and pay for the reservation. I have searched for topics in the community (thanks for that, there are a lot of good info available) and when I tried to book directly on the train company website but there also I couldn’t go forward. I am attaching a few screenshots below.1/ What is the best way to move forward? I also have a couple of related question.2/ When I planed the trip on eurail.com (not logged in) it showed USD12.80 as the 2nd class seat reservation fee. But, after logging in, for the same train it shows USD24.00 as the fee. In both the searches I have “Included in Pass” filter selected. Som

There’s no availability on the interrail site but there is on other sites. How do I book this and can I use my global pass with these other companies? If I can, how do I go about this.Thanks

Unable to make reservations London to Paris

Hi Everyone,I have bought Interail global pass, and I can not make any reservations. Every time I click on a train to make a reservation, I get a message that says ‘Not available for some travellers...Some of your travellers passes are not valid on this train’.I’ve also heard that the interail app is not reliable, as the train times aren’t updated frequently enough.I want to get a train from London into Paris, and then from Paris to Barcelona. Can someone give me some advice on what to do?Thanks,Davro
