What is travelling like using Lux buses in Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania?

Hi,I have a global pass and was thinking of heading up to Finland and then heading to Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania but saw that Eurail is disrupted in this region, although there are buses available.Was wondering if anyone had travelled on the buses and what it was like.Or if anyone has an opinion on best way to move around that region at the moment.Thanks

Lyon-Madrid train either not bookable or sold out. Suggestions?

I am hoping someone has a way around all the interrail site seat reservation restrictions. I plan on going from Lyon to Madrid on August 1. The first train is not sold out, it cannot be booked on the website. Can I only book it in-person? Other routes are sold out, I think. Are there any other "magical routes" through some other city or route? Thank you all in advance!

Incorrect gender on reservation. Will it be the same on the Pass and does this need to be changed?

We have yet to activate our passes for our trip to Europe at the end of august and we just reserved seats on one of the legs of our trip, only to realize that my fiancé is listed as a female. Does this mean his eurail pass too will say he is “Ms?” If so, is it a big deal or do I need to do something about it?

basel milan reservation

Hello everyone! A few days ago I booked this direct train from Basel to Italy, I paid 13 euros. The problem is that I never received an email with the seat reservation. In my account I can’t find it either.. there is 13 euro taken from my creditcard so I made the reservation but I have no information about it, not even a reservation number. What can I do? I already tried to contact interrail by answering questions to this bot to find out how I receive my reservation but i haven’t heard anything back. I will need to use the trai in 2 days. On the 22th of July..what is best to do? But another reservation or go without reservation? Or is there another way to receive my seat reservation?Kind regards,Adina

Austria Eurocity reservation with 1st class pass- is it possible to stay in first class on EC trains without a seat reservation?

Hello everyone! I hope somebody could help me. I bought a 1st class One Country Pass for Austria. All the trains I will take are OBB Eurocity trains for which the seat reservation is not required.Given that, is it possible to stay in first class on EC trains without a seat reservation?

Separate browser and mobile accounts for the same passes?

I bought a continuous pass during the sale a few weeks ago and am planning on using it next month. However, I have trouble with my account(s).I made reservations on the website, but after activating the mobile pass in the app, I do not see those reservations in the app.I do not see the trip I made on the website in the app, nor do I see the trip I made in the app on the website.It seems like they are two separate accounts even though both are connected to the same pass. Edit: How do you use interrail? The feeling I get now is that where possible you can use the QR code from the pass in the app, but for some trains you need to make reservations, and then you need to use the tickets you get in your mail, and not the QR code in the app. Is this correct?

Travelling through home country without stop

Hi,I‘m German and during my Interrail trip I want to travel from Vienna to Innsbruck and I‘ve seen now that the only direct train for this journey, for a small bit, passes through Germany but the train actually has no stop there - My question is now am I able to use this train via Interrail without buying an extra ticket or using (wasting) a In/Outbound journey?

Seat reservation

If on trains where seat reservation is mandatory and a person does not book it, can you still get on the train and travel? So if a person doesn’t book a seat when is obligatory what happens?

Changing devices

Hi:)So I’m leaving for my trip soon, and I need to add my pass to my phone, which doesn't work because I've added it on my computer (didn’t know back then I can only have it on one device). To remove it from my computer, I need to delete my trip. To delete my trip, it tells me I first need to delete travellers from the trip. If I click on edit travellers and want to select the only traveller (myself) to "delete this traveller", I can't select myself because "you can't delete this travellers details" with no explanation as to why or what I could do to change this. I need the pass on my phone so I have the tickets with me on the train.Does anyone know what I need to do? Did I just not get something? And sorry if there’s already an answer to this that I couldn’t find.I’m thankful for any advice!

Can't book reservation Bucharest-Istanbul

As I can’t make a reservation for the Bucharest Istanbul train online, and yet would like to avoid any potential disasters as I am travelling with my panicky father, would there be any way for someone to make the reservation for us at Bucharest train station/is there any way at all that I can make the reservation in advance: We will only be arriving in Bucharest a couple of hours before taking the train, so that’s why there could be a problem. In any case, how full would the train be likely to be in September? Thanks

Cancelled Connection

Hi,My husband and I were originally scheduled to travel from Prague to Salzburg via train on August 8th. Our original schedule had us taking a train from Prague to Linz and then catching another train in Linz and arriving in Salzburg. I received an email that there is a “discrepancy” with our trip and that our connection may no longer be available. When I looked at the timetable (https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/dn?start=1&S=Praha%20hl.n.&Z=Linz/Donau%20Hbf&date=08.08.2022&time=10:04), it appears that our original route is no longer available. Instead, it appears that we would need to take a train from Prague to Rybnik, take a bus from Rybnik to Linz, and then catch our original train from Linz to Salzburg. My question is: can I use my original ticket to board the new train and bus, or do I need to be issued a new ticket? I don’t see a way to change the ticket on the website without paying for it again. It’s also not clear on the timetable who the bus operator is.

Reliability of Eurail Webstie Timetables

So I’m planning a trip through Eurail and have already found out that alot of the trains don’t match on the app vs online (I did as much research as possible and I know that the app isn’t always reliable since timetables aren’t always current). My question is how reliable is the Eurail website timetables? A few of the trains I need require seat reservations (despite conflicting with the app saying seat reservations are only recommended), but when I double check the trains with a specific country’s timetables there are vast discrepancies. I’m afraid to make a train reservation on Eurail if the train doesn’t end up existing. Any advice on this? Should I just trust the Eurail website and go ahead and get the reservations?

Night Jet - Milan to Munich - Austrian border controls

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to find availability on a night train, I’ve clearly left it far too late as the closest I can get is either just a seat or a luxury cabin. I was thrilled to come across lots of availability on the NightJet from Milan to Munich on 11th August and changed my plans accordingly. I nearly finished booking the journey on the Night Jet website before having a look on Train Line and was gutted to see what looked like border controls in place between Austria and Slovenia just past salzburg . From Trainline it looks like you get off the Nigh Jet at Salzburg and get another domestic train to Freilassing, where you go through border controls, then get on another domestic train to Munich! Rather defeats the point of a sleeper train. Not mentioned on the Nighjet OBB website. Has anyone experienced this journey with checks? Is my research right because I really want a sleeper and it’s not mentioned by OBB?From a quick google it seems the border ch
