Hello Interrailers. Would appreciate any info. on what Interrail discounts (or free on a travel day) are available for ferries/boats for short(ish) river/lake trips. I saw one Community post about Lake Constance, but the links are now outdated and the bsb.de site doesn't seem to have specific info. re. Interrail (that I can find in English). I will be on a GP in July visiting Salzburg, Munich, Black Forest, Metz, Ghent-Oostende, Amsterdam/NL, Magdeburg (Elbe?), Prague and leave from Vienna. If anyone has done any water trips in any of these areas I'd love to know what trips my 2 teens and I could take to connect even just 2 cities (e.g. Lindau-Friedrichshafen on a Munich day trip loop). Thanks in advance for any tips. Happy training :)
Hi, I’m wanting to book the night train from Stockholm to Berlin on 7th July, SJ are slow to release tickets, it looks like track work is planned. On their website they say tickets are released until 2nd June so far but when I’ve looked it says ‘not available’ even for then.Does anyone know if the track works are likely to impact the night trains? I’m mindful that I want to travel on a Sunday night too which may be an issue?I’m wondering if I should just booked with Snälltåget instead, but the reservation costs are a lot higher.Thanks 😊
Hi!My mom and I would like to plan our interrail trip to the UK with the Global Pass, but before we book everything, we would like to know: If we book a seat reservation (which counts as a travel day from the Global Pass) but then cancel it later (because we changed our minds, got sick or something else), can we still use the same day from the Global Pass to make a new reservation? Or is it used off for good? Thank you in advance!Matilde & Aline
HiI got Schengen VISA for France starting 18/05. I am residence of UK and holds BRP so would go for Interrail Global 2nd class Pass. Now, to best utilize my first day (18/05) in Paris, I am planning to start from Edinburgh on 17/05 and would like to take night train at 19:58 from Edinburgh, which will reach London King Cross at night 1.05 AM. I would then take EuroStar morning train from London St Pancras at 6.30 for Paris.Could you please help answer.If this night journey from Edinburgh to Paris will count as 1-day or 2-day travel for Interrail Pass? Does ‘7 pm rule’ still valid? Would appreciate, if one can suggest how to best utilize my first day and Interrail pass, Can I make reservation on 1st class of Eurostar and in Bernina express (for Switzerland) , if I am holding 2nd class interrail pass?TIARegards
Apologies if this question is silly. I am learning about the Interrail system before I have my pass and so things may be obvious once I get it. I see people suggest not to put a train into your pass from your trip folder until just before you get on the train. That is not the sort of person I am. I don’t like to do things in a rush.When I set off on my journey I will be travelling from my local town to London and then on Eurostar. There are several trains an hour from my local station: let’s say 9:15, 9:30 9:45. No reservations are required. Suppose I put the 9:30 train onto my pass. However I arrive early and can get on the 9:15. Do I have to delete the 9:30 from my pass and replace it with the 9:15 or does this not matter?Peter

Hello Community, I've bought several pass reservations for ICN and TGV trains in France thru several channels (interrail.eu reservation service, sncf hotline, sncb and DB).It was necessary in all cases to specify names and birth dates except for pass reservations ordered at DB Reisezentrum. These reservations are on ticket paper and didn't require personal details. Should I be worried that these tickets from DB are accepted? SNCF hotline said that passenger name registration is required by law for all long distance trains in France.How will I get access to the station and pass the gates with these paper tickets issued by DB without any QR code?
When I connect to Wifi or mobile data and search the trains from Heidelburg to Trier in Rail Planner it returns no results (see screenshot 1), but if I disconnect from Internet and search again many trains can be found (see screeshot2). How do I solve this or is it only possible to search trains offline?
Hello everyone,I am planning a trip to Scandinavia and I would like my first travel day to start in Rennes (Brittany, France) and end in Stockholm. This seems possible thanks to the night train Hamburg-Stockholm.There are different routes to reach Hamburg. The quickest one seems through Paris and Cologne. The good point is that there are nearly hourly Cologne-Hamburg trains so if I get delayed in Paris, I can hope to catch up and be on time in Hamburg. The drawback is the high reservation fee on the Eurostar to Cologne : 32 € (compared to 42 € for a full ticket, checked today!). What would be your advice ? There are alternative routes through Brussels, Mannheim or Karlsruhe. They seem at first glance to take more time. I read about the two Hamburg-Stockholm night trains. Which one have you best experienced ? On the practical point of view, the Snälltåget leaves later, 23h59 (within same travel day I understand ?) so that may be safer. And I can find it on the Snälltåget’s calendar on t

Hi Community. I have asked several questions already and the responses have been extremely helpful. I have a question that may seem basic to those far more EURAIL savvy than me. We have a Global Pass 1st class and will take the train from Paris Gare de Lyon to Mulhouse TGV6705. I have a confirmed seat reservation. My question is about the arrival experience. When I arrive at the station, what do I do? Do I have to pass through a turnstile or do I make my way directly to the train? If I have to pass through a turnstile, how do I manage this as my EURAIL pass is on my phone. Thank you for your assistance in advance. Hopefully I have been clear about my question.
I live in Cornwall Uk and will be traveling to France via the Eurostar from London to Paris. Below is an outline of the intended travel days: Day 1: Cornwall → London → ParisDay 2: Paris → LyonDay 3: Lyon → MontpellierDay 4: Montpellier → AvignonDay 5: Avignon → NiceDay 6: Nice → Paris → London → Cornwall My question essentially is whether I am able to make these multiple connections within my home country (Cornwall → London → Paris and Nice → Paris → London → Cornwall) on the global pass as the inbound/outbound days or would I need to but separate train tickets for the Cornwall → London and London → Cornwall sections? Thank you in advance!
I’ve just been ticket checked on a Railjet between Innsbruck & Kufstein.Sitting in First Class (not Business) with a first class pass.The guard insisted I should have paid a supplement of €15 for any Railjet journey. He said he’d let me off, since it was a short journey.I’m pretty sure he’s wrong, and the supplement only applies in Business Class? Or has something changed recently?
Hi all! A small group of friends and I are gearing up for a trip to the Picos de Europa in Spain this May. Our 15-day journey will take us through the Alps, possibly including the Pyrenees based on recommendations. Our focus will be on activities like bouldering, scrambling, via ferrata, and hiking. Starting from the Lake District, our first stop will be Fontainebleau for some bouldering. Another stop is Magic Wood, also known for bouldering, (we will get the train to Chur and then link with public transport).As we’re still in the planning stage, we're open to suggestions on how to seamlessly connect our destinations via trains and local public transport. Quality over quantity is our priority but any recommendations are greatly appreciated!Thanks :)
