Inlandbanan Train Gällivare to Östersund 2023 - Food Stop

I know the train only started running a few days ago but need help from anyone who has done the train from Gällivare to Östersund this year (2023)Three of us a booked to travel on 20 July Gällivare to Östersund. I see this year the southbound train stops at Arvidsjaur for 25 minutes. For 2022, the menu I downloaded off their website had a menu for Hotell Laponia but that is a 15 minutes walk from the station so won't be possible to walk from the station to buy / collect. The late afternoon stop this year I see is 45 minutes at a Vilhelmina Norra (17:01-17:46) yet the only place I can see there is Bergmans Fisk & Vilt which closes at 17:00! In 2022 the southbound train stopped at Vilhelmina in the town which is 8 minutes walk from the Hotell Wilhelmina. But no chance to make use of this year?Do the places Inlandsbanan advertise take food orders and deliver to the train?It's a long 14 hour journey and I'm not sure the offer on the train will be enough for everyone. Does anyone know i

Is there a clear lookup for each European stations address?

Hello,I am planning a multi country trip across Europe and planning to use the EU Rail system. I am starting my trip in Lisbon Portugal and to my understanding the best station to use for my connecting city (Madrid Spain) would be Oriente to Chamartin. Is there a clear lookup for each station address based on the city i am in and planning on going to? For reference iam trying to do: Lisbon to Madrid to Paris to Brussels to Amsterdam to Frankfurt to Zurich to Rome

Global Pass valid in Greece for the route Patras-Kiato-Piraeus?

The train connection Kiato-Piraeus-Kiato doesn't show up in the Interrail App, neither does the courtesy/shuttle bus Patras-Kiato-Patras. Can I use my Global Pass on that route and just add the connections manually under 'My trip'? Thanks a lot in advance! Alois

Italian seaside resort near Rimini?

Hi Everyone, I’m heading off to Europe with my partner in a few weeks time around 20 April. We are heading to Frankfurt via Brussels and down through Germany to Italy. We fancy taking it easy in a nice seaside town in Northern Italy near Rimini or Ravenna perhaps. We’re not looking for a beach holiday, just a nice comfortable place to relax and chill out for perhaps 6-7 days. We like walking/hiking, art galleries and good food. But we’re also happy to daydream in beautiful surroundings after a hectic winter. I don’t know that part of Italy at all and would be grateful to hear about peoples’ experiences there. thanks!

Spontaneous traveling in August.

Hey, me and my partner are planning our 1month interrail journey in August and our planned destinations will probably be Amsterdam,Paris,Madrid,Lissabon,Barcelona. We want to travel rather cheap but also want to be spontaneous. Has anyone experiences with traveling during main season without planning anything beforehand? Is it possible to come to a new city without any plan of a place to sleep and find one for relatively good price, means below 40euro per person per night.?My Main concern here is hostels being sold out and prices rising the sooner you book to the actual date you are sleeping thereMy father told my about his interrail trips when he was 20, back then you could just do everything spontaneously ,so it was one big adventure. Is this still possible? Or has interrail fundamently changed since then.

Do you have destination tips?

Hello there, I am going on a trip in August in the UK with a friend. We are trying to plan our trip now, but we are kinda stuck. We are not sure if we should just do a daytrip to Glasgow or if we should spend at least one night there. If somebody can give us an advice that would be amazing. Our goal this summer is too see as much as we can and have a good time. We are the kind of people that enjoy strolling through an old town, visiting libraries or café‘s. Is Glasgow the right fit?If you have another idea of a place or a destination that amazed you I‘ld love to hear about it.Thank you very much in advance!

Travelling to Montenegro from UK

Hi!I am looking to travel to Bar in Montenegro in May from the UK. We then plan to travel back via train too. My husband has a fear of flying so thought this would be a great way to get to Europe with him having a meltdown!On the way there we need to travel as quickly as possible as we are going to a yoga retreat that starts on 18th May. However, on the return journey (25th) we have a bit more time. Is it possible to get some help and advice on planning this journey. I’ve never done anything like this before as I normally fly so I would really appreciate a bit of help! Thanks in advance 🙏🏼Corfe

Basel-Zurich

I see the question I was about to ask was answered a year ago here.We need to get between the 2 cities on Saturday 29th April and it seems like a TGV with a cafe might be a better bet than a regular (if comfortable and functional) Swiss train between the 2. Even if it’s only to get a cup of coffee in Switzerland at French prices.I thought that not-sitting in a TGV was a non-runner as a general principle - do they really let everyone on (a TGV) in Switzerland regardless of space?Alternatively, does anyone know of other trains between the two cities that are different than the regular SBB trains? Yes, I’m a train nerd.

Nighttrain through the home country

I have a question regarding a night train. I would like to start from Germany with the Global Pass. My first destination is Prague. From there I would like to take the night train to Zurich. There are two options for this: The EN50466 of the CD via Austria or the EN40458 (Nightjet) of the ÖBB via Germany. Can I travel through Germany with the Global Pass without getting off (EN40458) or do I have to travel around Germany (EN50466)?

Split-Mostar

Hello all,I’m planning an inter-railing trip next year and was thinking of going from Split to Mostar. However, I have just found out that there are no international trains that do this route and don’t believe buses are included in the pass. Is it worth just paying for a bus (if it isn’t too expensive and if there definitely aren’t any trains to Mostar) or shall I rearrange the destination?Thank you!

Routes no showing

Hi all!I want to go on a regional train tomorrow from Modena to Parma as part of my Italy interrail trip.However, I only found 3 regional trains departing at 9, 10 and 11 AM. Checking the trenitalia website, I could see that there are many more trains that do not appear in the timetable.I know the possibility of adding them to the trip manually as I have already done it, but I want to make sure that doing so won't be a problem if an inspector checks my ticket (I say if because the inspectors don't always go by, specially in regional trains).If you have ever taken this solution, could you tell me your experience?Thanks in advance. Best,Pablo.
