Questions for Balkan travel

Hi all,This summer I would like to visit the Balkans as part of my interrail pass. However I do have some questions, so I hope someone can help me! The route I'm intending to take is as follows:Split Mostar Dubrovnik Kotor Bar Belgrade LjubljanaI already figured out that I need to take the bus to reach the first 4 destinations and to go from Belgrade to Ljubljana. I do have some questions about the rest of the route. Is there a train running from Kotor to Bar? Since I'm traveling in summer, there should be a night train from Bar to Belgrade. Is there any way I can reserve this train in advance?Could someone help me? If anyone has any additional advice regarding this route it would also be appreciated!

I only have to buy the Eurail and all my bus tickets will be "free" during the time that I bought Eurail, like 10 days?

Can I pick any bus even when with a normal ticket would be expensive? like a bus from Spain to Finland, is it covered without extra payments?

One Country Pass UK - Was able to make reservations on Eurostar Bxl-London but still confused

Hello,I’m very confused.I bought a UK One Country Pass and successfully made seat reservations for the Eurostar. Now I read on several websites only a Global Pass can travel with Eurostar. Should I worry? Will the train attendant check my pass and make me pay the full price for the ride, even when I successfully made a reservation with the pass? Also confused about the possibility of swapping to a Global Pass → is this even possible with a booked reservation linked to my current pass? Many thanks for the help, quite panicking right now 😅

Questions about the trains that don't need reservations

Hello everyone, my name is Nathan and I will be travelling with 6 of my friends all over the Europe this august between the 1st and 17th of August. We planned to do : Paris → Amsterdam  Amsterdam → Berlin Berlin → Vienne Vienne → Ljubljana Ljubljana → Zagreb Zagreb → Budapest Budapest → Prague and then take a flight between Prague and Paris We will stay in each place for 1 to 2 nights and sometimes take a train during the night in order to not pay any hostel (for ex. between Berlin and Amsterdam). However, when we try to reserve any seats, it says that we don’t need any reservations. Does that mean that we just go to the train and enter it hoping there are any places left ? If there any places available, can we just stay in the corridor or we must go out ? If we must go out of the train, we are in a pretty sh*tty situations since we have all of our hostels reserved in advance. How does we active a travel-day on our pass ? We just have to show our phone with the reservations ?

Train arrival searching engine or paper (poster) timetables

Hi,I don't know if anyone has encountered a similar problem, so I'll describe it here:I'm in the early stages of planning my trip with Interrail. I know that I want to go to place Y (let's say: Barcelona, for example), and I know that the train to that city leaves at 8pm from city X (let's say: Paris, for example).So, I plan a 6-hour stop in Paris, and I want to check the trains that arrive in Paris at 2pm. At the station in such a situation, I go to read the paper timetable, and there I have this information. But where can I find such information on the internet?My problem is that I can't search for a specific connection to Paris (let's say: form Amsterdam, for example), because I don't know yet whether I'll be leaving from Amsterdam, Rome, Cologne or Zurich (or yet another city).For PKP (Polish railways) I can search for poster timetables (identical to the schedule at the station) here: https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty (you have to enter the station names in Polish, for example:

When to connect a trip to my mobile Pass?

Hello there So I am new to the whole interrail thing. And I was wondering, when do I have to ”connect a trip” to my mobile Pass?I know I can “activate” the Pass on the first day of travel, but can I “connect” it at any time between now and then? Or do I have to connect it now to keep it from expiring early or somethig? I know I am propably overthinking this, but thanks for any help beforehandGreatings!

No order confirmation email received

Guessing it’s due to the high demand on the site? It was very slow when I was ordering and I see a lot of posts talking about how they can’t purchase their passes.

QR Code missing

Am I able to get a refund since My pass has no QR Code and this has made it impossible to use the pass?I purchased a 10 day pass, was able to book my first ticket and have not been able to use the pass since. I’m currently traveling, EURail has no one to contact  and responses are delayed for 7 days. I purchased this pass in good faith. but it unfortunately it is a subpar product/service and should be fixed before it is sold to consumers. I have spent hours at counters trying to make reservations and have to end up paying out of pocket every time. I would like to be refunded the the unused 9 trips I have left on my pass since I’m not from Europe.

Sale extended for Eurail?

The website crashed while I was purchasing my 2x Eurail tickets for the 50% sale! I can see that the UK reseller has extended their sale, but as I live in Australia I can’t purchase of their site (I think). How can I purchase a sale ticket as a resident of Australi if the website keeps crashing:(

Unable to make reservation Rotterdam-London

I am trying to make a train reservation with my interrail pass from Rotterdam to London. First you have to log in. I did that so you can see the what reservations are availlable from ticket holders. The only day (3 june) we need to make a reservation, says they are all €0 and " prices unavaillable".  I know there's a max. Ammount of interrail holders that can make reservations in an Eurostar train. But ALL other days seem to be just fine. Does this mean theres just a bug or something? Or  are we not able anymore to make reservations for that day?. If so, this means we have to buy +€400 worth on Eurostar ticket for 1 train... That's is more then the Interrail ticket itself we bought.  Does anyone know, if this is the case, if we need to buy those tickets, or is it possible to go without reservations & tickets....? Thanks

Issues with Reservations ''prices are currently unavailable'' error

Hi Everyone,I’m sure you guys have had plenty of questions like this so far, but I’m at my wit’s end here. I’ve had no END of problems with my Pass, and this latest one is infuriating. I’ve been trying to book a trip from Venice to Verona on June 17th for DAYS now. Every single time, there has been a ‘prices are currently unavailable’ error. Other sites still have tickets available, so I know they aren’t sold out: moreover, the entire DAY will not load. I’ve already had to buy multiple tickets on other websites, defeating the purpose of this pass, and I’ll be damned if I lose more money to this. Any ideas?
