Train connections & reservations

I’m traveling in France and Belgium on October 3rd and 4th! I am not able to buy any tickets! I was looking at Paris to Brussels on Oct 3. I was looking at Bruges to Amsterdam Oct 4. i’ve been looking since the beginning of june and it has said the same message every time. no seats available at this time. I’m wondering why this is. I asked the eurrail customer service team and they said check back in a week. it’s been about a month now and i’m very curious. Thank you to anyone who can help!

I am trying to book the 01:06 Offenburg to Hanau Hbf, on the 8th August (as shown in image). All signs point towards it being available, but when i reach a certain page it tells me the reservation ‘cannot be made’. Can someone help me find this trip elsewhere or diagnose the issue? Please!

I have a reservation from Lyon Part Dieu to Gare du Nord. However, I have discovered that the train I'm booked on starts at Lyon Perrache, which is near my hotel. Can I amend the reservation free if charge so that it starts at Lyon Perrache, or should I just buy a ticket for the journey between the the 2 stations - it's only a small amount.

I am trying to reserve seats from Brussels - Midi to London St Pancras, but when I enter Brussels the list of stations there does not include Midi. It does allow me to book from Brussels - Centraal to London St Pancras, but it goes to Midi and then we have to change trains and I want to avoid that.I know that others have booked from Midi - how do I get the computer to allow it please?

I assume this is not a problem as I have purchased my seat reservations for our Eurostar journeys between London to Paris.  However there appears to be a mismatch between the times shown both for departure and arrivals between the planner and the official Eurostar schedules.    As far as I can see the mismatch is for all trains available for booking this year.  

Hi there, I didn’t really find information for Interrail online, maybe not to many people travel in Poland…I want to take some IC trains to smaller places around Warszawa for example Lublin, Bydgoszcz  or Łódź. The rail planner app says I don’t need a reservation, but via Google AI I found out that there is an exception for Pesa Dart EMUs. I looked in the PKP App and found the symbol for reservations on some of these trains. Not my question: Is there an exception for people with interrail or is the Rail planner App wrong? The reservation is super cheap, but it is annoying to make reservations for interrail in the PKP App, because when you travel in a group you can’t make interrail reservations for several people at once. Is there a smart solution?Thank you so much!

Hi,I've been trying for two days to reserve seats on Iryo trains from Barcelona to Madrid and Madrid to Seville using the Interrail reservation tool. However, the tool only displays the following error message: Is this a known, possibly temporary problem, or is booking simply not possible?GreetingsVolker

Having seen how difficult it is to get to Lisbon from Madrid has anybody tried Madrid  to Seville then 3 hrs bus ride to Faro?Regular trains then to Lisbon take about 3hrs.

Hello, me and my friend are going on interrail in about a week!We kind of „overslept“ booking our seat reservations and just started to book them today.Unfortunately we now have a problem, because the seats of every train going from london to paris on the 14th August are reserved. We then tried to book them over the eurostars website, but the Website does not find any train going from london to paris. Online you can see that the website eurostars is for trains inbetween the United Kingdom, Belgium, France,…we also tried booking from an extern website, but there you can only buy tickets to get seat reservations and those are very expensive. we are now desperate and unsure what to do.please help us, thank you in advance!antonia & anna

Hello everyone.I need some help. I'm having a problem with an Interrail route: the founder of the group can see it and added it without problems, while to me that same route doesn't appear when I try to add it. Also, even trying to import it through the link he sent me, I can't. We tried to figure out how to solve it, but we can't figure it out. Has it already happened to anyone? Do you know how it can be done?

Hi My friend and I would like to book the train 16 August with my interrail pass, but I can’t, are their any other options available or can you book it for us?  It’s the train from 14:00 Lyon Part Dieu to Breda arrived at 20:19. 

Dear community, I’m looking for a reservation for the train IC 416 or EN 40416, in particular the first, from Wien to Krakow on September 7th. I looked on the OBB website and others, but is not possible to book it. On OBB I read the message “Currently not reservable”. Do you think this is a temporary situation or all the seats are booked? I’m worried since I have less than 2 months left. Thank you for any clearifications!Best Pierluigi Pellegrino

You can now book pass reservations on www.raileurope.com. You have to add a rail pass, which will then be applied to all passengers in the group, and at check-out, you need to supply a pass number.I did a test for Italy (Frecciarossa Milan-Rome) and there don't seem to be any extra booking fees. And you can select a seat for €2 extra, like on the Trenitalia website.No luck for Spain yet. It will be interesting to see if it can book anything that can't be booked online elsewhere.

I have made seat reservations for me and my partner in my own account. These reservations are visible in the app on my phone. Is it possible to make the reservations that are on my partner's name visible in his own app?

Hi, I am trying to book a reservation. It is 2 ICE and a Nightjet. I can't seem to find how to reservate it. It gives warnings. '’One or more Passes cannot be used for this journey. Please select the travellers with valid Passes for this journey in order to book seats.'’ How can I reservate? Also if I go to the Nightjet website directly it also says it is not possible to book the journey but no information about if it is fully booked or anything. Has anyone als had this before? It is my first time interrail and it feels like a maze.You would think that the 28th is a bit afther the holidays for everyone so should be fine.. I don't know what to do. 

I have been trying to reserve a seat on any (high speed) train from Amsterdam to Paris-Nord, but on none of the trains scheduled on that day it seems possible to reserve a seat. The following warning appears when I try to reserve a seat:“Er zijn geen prijsresultaten gevonden. Plaatsen voor Pashouders kunnen voor deze verbinding uitverkocht zijn, maar er zijn andere manieren om te kijken of er nog plaatsen beschikbaar zijn. Meer informatie vind je onder onze dienstregeling.”Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance! 

I am travelling in October with Ave international Montpellier - Madrid. I have read that I can get seat reservations on 3 sites; (Interrail, Happyrail and Raileurope).  But what site is recommended? I am travelling with 2 people and I have an interrail global pass 2nd class.

Hi!I’m currently looking at journeys within the Netherlands, and I’ve found conflicting information in multiple places. I’ve read that ICE trains require a supplement when used within the Netherlands (not internationally!), for example the journey from Amsterdam Centraal to Utrecht Centraal by ICE 125, 12:33-12:57. The NS website seems to imply that this journey would require a supplement, but the Rail Planner app doesn’t show it as needing one, and it’s not listed on the Eurail website. Similarly, this NS website specifically states under the “In which situations can I travel without a supplement with Intercity direct?” header, that:if you are traveling within the Netherlands with a Eurail or Interrail pass, an Intercity Direct Supplement between Rotterdam and Schiphol is still required.This information is also repeated on the Eurail website.However, when searching for a matching journey on the Rail Planner app (for example Rotterdam Centraal to Schiphol Airport by ECD 9539, 12:21-12:

I have tried several times to make a seat reservation on different devices and after I changed my cookie settings. Every time I get a error saying: something went wrong… I am kind of out of hope and not sure how to solve this problem, I already did everything the help page told me to, so I hope one of you could help me out, thanks in regard.

my travel is from the 17th to the 21th of August,i don’t understand why the pass of Firenze-Pistoia on the outward trip and the passes of Pistoia-Firenze and Bari-Lecce are not on the schedine,maybe because they are regional trains?How do they work,are they still free?What do we need to do to have a ticket for these trains? 

Hello! My friend and I want to travel from Berlin Lichtenberg to Norrköping Central on Friday (24th July) with the night train. We have a seat reservation (booked via Interrail) for a connection that starts at 7:05 pm in Berlin Lichtenberg and ends at 08:24 am in Norrköping Central. But we cannot find a train with this timetable anymore. The only train we can find starts at 5:41 pm in Berlin Lichtenberg and arrives Norrköping Central at 09:45 am. Both of them are the trains EN344. Does our seat reservation change to the train with the new timetable? Can we just get onto the new train or do we have to do something?

I have 2 standard 2nd class reservations. Can I upgrade to Eurostar Plus on a 2nd class pass?

The system failed to book the correct journey, the wrong time was then booked, then the correct journey was booked, then the refund processed ended up cancelling the correct trip and leaving the wrong one.My family of 4 are set to travel later this week and it means a whole bunch of our other connections don’t work. Spaces on Eurostar trains are limited for interrail. How can I resolve this?I cannot even find a number to speak to a human being…
