Train from Sundsvall (SE) to Trondheim (NO)

I want to take the train from Sundvall (Sweden) to Trondheim (Norway) via Storlien. I am planning on doing this in July.If I check the Rail Planner app I don't see this specific option. But if I check the Vy website (transport in Norway) it does give this option. Just not in July because that is too far in the future. Does this track still exits and does the train ride in July? And is it possibele to take this train with the Global Pass?Thank you!!

nightjet train from Amsterdam to Zurich with bikes

I am trying to book tickets from Amsterdam to Zurich with bicycles, it doesn’t seem to be available on ANY date, is this something that is no longer possible does anyone know? The OBB website does not suggest it has stopped, yet I can’t believe every date for 6 months is fully booked! Have they blocked this option?

Interrail in Norway

Hello everyone!I´m planning an interrail trip with my sister in Norway right now and we have some questions regarding the trains. On the trip we would like to travel with the following trains, but we don´t know if they are included in the interrail pass, because they are also scenic routes: The trains are Jærbanen, Bergen railway, Dovrebanen and Nordlandsbanen. We can find the routes in the app, but it always says regional train, so we don´t know if they are those trains we wanna go with. Did anybody go with those trains and can tell us, if they are included in the pass? The support of interrail couldn´t really help us.I also have another questions. There are some train routes I can´t find in the app, but on the website of Norrtag. Since the interrail pass enables us to go with trains operated by Norrtag, I suppose we can go with any train of them, no matter if we can find it in interrail or not. Is that true? Thank you so much in advance!Best,Isabell 😊

Book trains and hostels in advance? If so, how long before?

Hi,me and a friend are going on interrail in june / july for 6 weeks. We will visit the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia. (more specifically; Amsterdam, Bruges, Bern, Como, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana and Split) Should we book trains / hotels in advance; if so how long before? We would prefer to be able to book during the trip but we are skeptical about whether trains and hostels will be sold out as it is high season.Does anyone have experience that trains have been sold out or will there always be available trains every day?

Romania to Serbia no trains

Hello, We are currently traveling to Timisoara. We wish to transport ourselves from Timisoara to Beograd on August 12th. I wanted to book ahead of time at GeaTours, starting emails a month ago but it was too early. They said I should only ask just before my travel date, but of course now that I have asked they are no seats left for the 12th. All this experience is quite frustrating. Do you know another bus company ? I am having a hard time finding solutions, it is also a shame the train has never been renovated :(I have found Simplicity using omio search engine, but the cost is aberrant (105€ for 2 people)… Also no BlaBlaCar available.

Traveling in Italy with Eurail Pass

I am going to be traveling in Italy next May for my honeymoon and I’m trying to set up my itinerary. I didn’t have any problems finding train routes from Rome to Florence but after we leave Florence, we plan to go to Cinque Terre. However, no routes show up when searching trains from Florence to La Spezia on Eurail. Additionally, after we leave La Spezia, we will head to Venice but I couldn’t find any routes for that either from La Spezia to Venice. What should I do about these two train trips?

Switzerland advice

Spending 4 days in Switzerland and looking to base ourselves in Lucerne to do as many scenic train trips as possible. Coming from Strasbourg/Colmar initially and leaving from Buchs SG - any tips and guides would be appreciated - especially thinking of multi point routes so we can return to base each day if possible.

Do people solo-interrail in winter?

Hey there, I really want to go interrailing solo this winter, but I'm pretty worried that not many people will go interrailing during this time. My plan is to start from Helsinki the first of December and travel from there back to Germany. Does someone of you have experience of interrailing in winter in Scandinavia, are there people to met in hostels? I'm really looking forward for your answers :)

Direct train Bilbao to Santander

Thanks to comments from @mcadv and others in this forum, as otherwise I wouldn't have known that this connection (regional Renfe Feve) even exists.Used our Passes last Friday on the 71872 13:31 Bilbao-Santander service. We had the time and continuous Passes so why not…Times given on https://www.renfe.com/es/en/suburban/cercanias-feve/timetables were accurate.On the Renfe home page planner https://www.renfe.com/es/en the train came up but with incorrect times (30 minutes out for some reason).Couldn't find the train in any planner apps.Departing from Bilbao La Concordia, next to Bilbao Abando but a separate building. A nice peaceful station. Showed our active Passes at the ticket counter and they gave us tickets to use to get through the closed gates. I'd asked the day before just to make sure and the staff confirmed both times this is how they do it.Views were better than we'd been anticipating, nice suprises pretty much all the way.Conductor was happy enough seeing the printed tickets

Trip Planner

I am terribly confused by the eurail website. I expected to be able to put in a start location and a destination and it would show me all options of how to get to my destination including stops. Instead it just shows a map with a straight line which is not part of the rail routes. I expected it to be like google maps which shows exact route or even better, like San Francisco CA MUNI which shows you every form of transportation including length of time to get to your destination. Can someone please tell me if this feature exists and if so, where do I find it on the Eurail website? Or if you can recommend a better way to try to plan a 10 trip in France and Spain next summer. Thanks so much for any help!

Naples to Sicily Ferry

The interrail map shows a line crossing the sea from Naples to Carania. Is this a ferry connection and if so who operates it and is it discounted or is it just a misleading line across the sea?

Traveling in Baltic area (busses with discounts and route suggestions)

Hello! Thanks a lot for your service I have a question. We have interrail pass (1 month of traveling) and we have a few questions. 1) When I activate my pass in mobile app, will it automaticly generate QR code of the ticket? I know, that I need to reserve the train in the app, but I mean, when sth happens and we need to quickly run into another train and don't manage to reserve it in the app, is there still possibility, that I have my ticket in the app and I can show it to the ticket person in the train without previous booking of the train? 2) We will be also traveling in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. There your app is not working. But we found out, that you have some discount on bus tickets for example. Can you please tell me, how I can use this discount? I was trying to book some ride with company we should have discount, but I couldn't find some space do add the discount. Or can you please tell me the best travel opportunities from Tallinn to Riga and then from Riga to Vilnius, th

Which itinerary between Belgium/ Netherlands/ Germany or Austria/Hungary/Slovakia should I choose?

Hello, I’m prospecting for a travel in Europe but I am indecisive ! On the one hand, I wanted to visit Austria/Hungary and Slovakia because it is easy to make a reservation by train (pass) and that I want for a long time to go back to Austria and visit Hungary, and moreover because I want to see beautiful lakes. But I’m scared it is dangerous in some eastern cities and I prefer tovisit smaller typical cities, and on the second hand, I also want to visit Germany on a larger scale than I did ( I went to Mannheim and Heidelberg) and I also want to visit Netherlands/ Belgium ( Brussels) and if possible one or many cities in Germany ( so sadly, Berlin is too far from me ):What do you think about it ? What should I do in priority ? Thank you in advance
