Get ready to travel

I’ve purchased an Interrail Monthly pass for my wife and I. She is German but a UK resident however, the pass says she is German resident. Does Interrail automatically mark you as a country’s resident just because of nationality? Or did I mistakenly mark her as German resident when I purchased. (The later seems unlikely but, I suppose, possible).

I would like to travel from Brussels to Budapest, and the following is itinerary is offered by all major reservation services:ICE at 16:32 from Brussels to Cologne / 12 minutes transfer time / ICE from Cologne to Mannheim / 7 minutes transfer time / ICE from Mannheim to Augsburg / 22 minutes transfer time / Euronight at 23:02 from Augsburg to Budapest direct .Zugfinder.net gives overall 50% chance that these connections would actually work, based on delay statistics. Based on experience with DB I also think it is a high-risk gamble. If it does not work out there is still a regular IC train to get later from Augsburg to Vienna overnight, to catch an early morning train to Budapest.I am willing to take the chance, but am wondering about the validity of the Interrail travel day. With the Euronight train, it would be sufficient to use one travel day for the whole trip, as it leaves Augsburg at 23:02 and goes to Budapest directly. But the later IC leaves only after m

Hi ! I’m planning a trip from France to Scotland with my bike. On the routes Dover-London and Edinburgh-Inverness, no seat reservations are required but i need to book one space for my bike. Is it possible to reserve a cycle space without reserving a seat? How? Thanks for your help. 

Hey all. Just wondered if anyone knows what the recent Stockholm to Berlin Snälltåget night train punctuality has been like? I have reservations back to Brussels the Tuesday morning (28th), but these are all out of whack due I think to some major engineering works in Germany. Trying to grab some more reservations but not sure it'll be worth booking something out of Berlin before 10.00 if it's arrival time of 08.47 is unrealistic. Also, may consider hopping off at Hamburg if it is expected to be delayed... Thanks

Good afternoon,We have an interrail pass 1° class. I want to make reservations for me and my partner. His name I’ve also added in my “travel trip”. But … normally I book everything via interrail.eu. But there keeps popping up the result only for 1 traveller. But when I go to eurrai.com I can book as well, and there is popping up automatically the info for 2 pers. What is the reason for this? And does it make a difference if I book via EUrrail or Interrail?(I”ve screenshots but we can’t add this on this forum).Thanks for your support!

Dear community,This is my first time using the Eurail pass I aim to begin in Leipzig next week and travel during the dates Aug 26 till Sep 10 reaching my destination of Greece, Athens. Is using the Euro rail pass make sense for this scenario and can I just get on any train and go to my next destination? So far my Itinerary:Train from Leipzig to Vienna: Day 1Bus from Vienna to Budapest: BusAnd the rest is up in the air any suggestions on remaining travel route and if my idea for using the Eurail pass this way makes sense.  thank you  

I’m planning to travel from London to Osnabrueck via Brussels and Koeln at the end of this month. The train from Brussels to Koeln has a reservation fee that depends on what time you catch the train. If I buy a reservation, and then miss the connection because Eurostar is late, what happens then? If the next train has a more expensive reservation fee, do I pay the difference, or what?This must be such a common issue - but never had to do this before.TIA!

Greetings I need some advice.  I am currently in Nimes and would like to visit the Chauvet cave.  After a long search I found the only option to get there by public transport.  Ať first tgv to Valence and then ter bus to Vallon pont d'arc.  As I read in other posts here on the forum, railpass should be valid in ter bus, although I'm not sure if it's still true and if the bus driver will know it too.  App shows me that they also need a Seat reservation for this bus. 1. Do I really need to reserve a seat for this bus?2. Does anyone know of any other way to get to Chauvet Cave in a different way and earlier, or at least how to leave Vallon Pont d'arc later.  I found the last connection to the train station at 17.00. Thank you for your help

I have activated my pass today for Sweden and I saw on the Ticket now „Not valid in Germany“ my last travel is from Kopenhagen to Stuttgart - is this pass then really not valid in Germany  

Ik schaf binnenkort de beneluxpas aan, maar ik begrijp dat je met een Nederlands paspoort daarmee niet in Nederland mag reizen. Ik moet dan een kaartje kopen voor het Nederlandse deel tot (volgens mij) het eerste station in Belgie. Iemand daar ervaring mee? En waar koop je zo'n kaartje? I probeerde al een kaartje te kopen bij NS Internationaal vanaf een station in Nederland tot Essen (het eerste station in Belgie), maar dat lukt niet.

We have booked two ferries within Greek islands, we have global passes. On blue star ferries there was no problem booking, and our ferry tickets say ‘global pass discount’ on them. However, on the app I cannot add the journeys to my pass, because it says the routes are for Greek Island Pass holders only.  Will I be able to get on the ferry? Do they tend to check interrail passes when checking in? 

I seem to have created 2 trips. One I’ve added no journeys to but it has 2 blank used travel days. The other I’ve added all my journey plans to and it allows me to toggle between using a travel day and not on it but I think it’s not connected to my pass. I can’t see how to delete a trip created - app keeps offering the option of adding a journey to a new trip but I’m avoiding that particular trap now. Help?Thanks so much Nóirín

Trying to book Paris - Bern, I needed to book Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel reservation. However, the eurail site didn’t worked at all according to error “being not able to press ‘continue to traveler details’ button”. i’ve tried to find alternative website from  to reserve Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel, but there was no website that can reserve it.(Only domestic lines were able to book at “travel.b-europe website for national rides in France”) Is there any alternative website that can book international rail Paris to Basel?

Hi everyone,I’m currently looking into the SJ night train from Stockholm to Narvik. The rail planner shows me to get a one country pass, but I will cross borders as the train travels from Sweden to Norway. Is this valid or should I look into getting two passes (1 Sweden, 1 Norway)?Thanks a lot!
