Madrid to Porto or Lisbon no direct train. Any alternatives?

Hello again!I’d like to go from Madrid to Porto on the 4th of July. Since I already looked up this question I know that some others tried or want to try the same thing. i k ow there is no direct train from Madrid to Porto but does anybody know an alternative route? I only found a bus which drives between Madrid and Porto. Currently the price is about 13€ and it would take 9-10 hours I think.

Outbound journey booking sequence

Do I need to book journeys in sequence of travel? For example outbound journey is Glasgow to London then Eurostar to Amsterdam. Eurostar tickets harder to get so should I book this first? Easier to get train for the first leg.

Travel through home contry without the train stopping in it

Hello there,consider this:I’m from Germany (Eastern Germany to be exact, that is also important for my question) I’ve got a global Pass that is valid for 2 MonthsI have read through many different situations on this forum but still can’t find an answer to the following question: I will be in France and want to travel back to Germany but I do not want to waste my inbound journey for a weekend in my hometown. I know that I can travel through Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Czech Republic. And I will do so. I found a nice night train that runs from Zürich to Prague without stopping in Germany - so far so good- but it still goes through Germany for some km. Am I allowed to use this? I sent a picture of the running Map of the train right down there.I’ll just take the s-bahn with my 9-Euro Ticket from the border of Czech Republik for the last Meters.I am looking forward to your answers!

Seat reservation in 1st class but 2nd class pass - Thalys

Hello,I had trouble booking seat reservations via the Interrail reservations page for Brussels-Paris Thalys operated train so I called the customer service and bought the reservation there. I have a global 2nd class interrail pass and I was told that they are out of 2nd class seats but can sell me the comfort seat. I said I’ll take that since I thought that maybe then I’ll just be charged with a higher fee (the reservation was 25 €). When I got the reservation via email, it said pass comfort and 1st class. Now I’m worried that can I actually use this reservation with my 2nd class pass.

Travelling in my home country

Hi there I have purchased a interrail global pass for 2 months knowing I can only have 1 inbound and outbound journey. We are planning on going from London to Bruges outbound but on the way back we are getting a flight from Portugal to Edinburgh (due to timing). I was wondering is it possible to use my second inbound journey from Edinburgh back to London or does the journey have to be travelling from out of my home country back into it? Want to make sure this is okay before booking any flights! Thanks for the help!

When making a seat reservation (Prague-Budapest), it only asked for my name, not anything about interrail pass. Is that normal?

Hello!I just bought a seat reservation on the Czech Republic train website for a train from Pagra to Budapest where seat reservation was mandatory. In the purchase of the ticket I have only put my name, he has not asked me for anything about the interrail pass. It is normal?And can someone explain to me how the process of taking a train is, that is, I have to show both the ticket (QR) of the interrail pass train from prague to budapest and the QR of the seat reservation, right?Thank you!

Haven't got my pass

I ordered the 50% off pass for the 50 year anniversary - money has been paid and I’ve got a confirmation code but my actual ticket never arrived. I reached out to support and their phone didn’t work, and so tweeted them only to find that it was a different interrailing company offering it. emailed support and they’ve just said ‘we’re busy processing things’ but it’s been a week and I’ve now not heard from them for a few days. Am meant to be starting interrailing next week but how can I without the pass! Beginning to panic that it’s a scam somehow. has anyone got any suggestions/ had this issue?

How to reserve seats on Eurostar?

I have a mobile pass. I got the pass to use on Eurostar. I cannot reserve a seat on the Interrail site. It goes in a loop. I go the to booking tool. I choose the train. It shows ‘reservation required’ on the train. There is a dialogue to click ‘how to book your reservation’. Clicking on it sends it back to the booking tool.

Greek island pass - does it cover Athens, Paros, Santorini and Crete?And what ferries can we choose?

Good morning, I need information about the pass interrail greek islands. We are a family of 9 persons (7 adults and 2 babys) and we travel to greek in July and we want to go to athens, paros, Santorini and Creta. We see you have the interrail pass for 4 days in a month, we want to know if with this pass we can do this travel itinerary and what ferrys we can choose with this pass, because some ferries are faster than others and how long in advance to book each ferry. Thanks!

Can I get an additional inbound trip due to UK strike?

I'm due to make an inbound trip with a Global Pass to the north of England on 25 June, when there is now a major strike planned. Assuming the Eurostar runs but I can't get the onward train home from London, will it be possible to extend my inbound trip to the following day and if so who should I ask to do this?

If a train (that does not require reservations) is fully booked, can we still board it without sitting down?

Hello,My friends and I are planning on doing an Interrail trip this summer and we had a question about the seat reservations. Some trains seem to be fully booked on the days we were planning on taking them but the seat reservations are not required to board the train. Is it possible to still take the train without sitting down or is the seat required to board the train ?Thank you for the help,Louise

Paris Montparnasse to Bordeux train glitch - wrong time

Hi I made five seat reservations yesterday for the Paris to Bordeaux Train ( In August ) There is a glitch, which means that when I select the 17.11 train, the 16.11 train is indicated ( screenshot attached ) however when you fo through to review order, the 17.11 is indicated again. My reservations have arrived, but they are for the 16.11, which is too early for our connection. Is there a helpline/ email address I can contact to correct this? Has anybody else experienced the same problem? Thank you Faye

Santa Clause Express

Hey :)i am planning my first interrail trip and our route is now trough Denmark to Stockholm, from Stockholm overnight with the Tallink ferry to Turku and from there staight to Helsinki.In Helsinki we want to take the Santa Clause Express Nighttrain to Rovaniemi but i am encountering a few problems while looking for reservations on this train. I have already seen this site which says that the train is included in interrail and lists prices. We want to book a cabin for two people with an own shower which should cost 49€ p.p. according to the interrail site. On the vr website i could’nt find an option to look up the prices with an interrail pass so i went to a train station. Here they said, that they also cant look up the prices for late august, which i assume is due to the fact, that you can only book 60 days in advance. Is that correct or is it possible, that the cabins are already gone?And when the lady looked up an earlier date, to see the possible prices, they were 120€ for that cab

Mobile Pass - Pass Cover Number for Eurostar

Hi there. I have kept trying to get in touch with Eurail or Interrail over the last couple of weeks but haven’t heard anything back, so am trying here instead. I’m trying to book a Eurostar with an interrail mobile pass but everywhere says I need a Pass Cover Number, which I don’t have as it is a mobile pass. This seems a pretty significant flaw in the system which they should tell you before you choose a mobile pass. It looks like people have been sent private messages with pass cover numbers through this thread so I am just trying to see if I can get some help quicker through here as I am worried about our trains being booked up before I hear anything. Does anyone know how this might happen? Many thanks

Family of 5Rail rookie

asked in Train connections & reservations

I have not been able to reserve the full couchette for our family of 5 travelling 23rd July Austerlitz - Nice

I had hoped to book the complete space for a family of 5 to travel in comfort, it is the first time for the girls and travelling overnight with an additioanl stranger is going to be challenging for them. Unforatunaly the very helpful SNCF assistant could not inform me whether we were to be travelling with an additiaonl Male or Female.When I look at the Trainline app ( UK booking site) , their option for booking five people is as shown and doesn’t seem to want to group us together!! I am wondering if this if why there are no empty couchette, as I was informed that there was one person in each carriage??Any advice would be appreciated.
