Thank you so much for your help.All booked now. One sleeper cabin for three of us, and my partner in a single cabin! Phew!
Thank you, I’ll check it out - it’s so confusing!We’re basically trying to get from Lake Ammersee in Germany to Dijon!So i was thinking, Munich to Zurich, Zurich to Dijon.
If now is too early when is the best time to try do you think?
That’s great - thanks everyone.So I think I’ve decided…Diesen to Basel, Basel to Mulhouse, Mulhouse to Dijon! Then that’s just the one domestic TGV, as you say, so cheaper and it doesn’t really take that much longer.
Thank you. And they definetly won’t say we can’t travel from there?!
Thank you! This forum is the best.
Thank you.Yes, looking at it I think DB are favourable towards families. I shall go ahead and make the other seat reservation!
Bratislava is indeed a fine place for a day trip from Vienna. There is a regular rail service that takes about 1hr 15min each way for about 15 euro return. Bus services take a little longer and a similar price. Thank you!
Excellent - thank you. I’ll check it out. *Train nerds rule!
And does anyone know how long it takes, roughly, once at Zurich HB to get from platform 31 to platform 15?Many thanks.
And does anyone know how long it takes, roughly, once at Zurich HB to get from platform 31 to platform 15? Just a few minutes. Platform 31 is in the tunnel but there are quick ways to get to the surface. Just follow the signs. Thanks!
If you decide to get the train from Cambridge to Birmingham on the 22nd (I think you’ll need to change twice), the longest leg is with Cross Country. To reserve a seat on that train you could try emailing them: sales.support.crosscountry@trainsfares.co.uk
Sorry yes, it’s a sleeper reservation. Why do they keep them, do you know?
Thank you @Hektor
Thank you, I’ll keep an eye out!
I contacted Eurostar recently (though not about the same issue, just a timetable query) using this form: https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/contact-us/eurostar-contact-details and got a reply from this email: contactus@eurostar.com I messaged them on twitter as well and I think that got a slightly quicker response.
Thank you. I’ll check back again in couple of weeks and hopefully purchase in November.Yes, I think I will use an interrail pass, as I think it will work out pretty much the same or a little cheaper than if I buy separate tickets.
Was it an ÖBB train? This page had details on OBB’s compensation. https://www.oebb.at/en/reiseplanung-services/nach-ihrer-reise/fahrgastrechte/zugausfall-oder-verspaetung
And this is the form to fill out (OBB):https://www.oebb.at/en/reiseplanung-services/kundenservice/refundierung-chatbot
There’s no harm in waiting to see if there’s a promotion. You can buy the pass on the day you will depart, and activate it straight away. (Although I might do it the day before!) That’s what i thought but as I need to reserve 4 people on Eurostar I need the pass before I do this - is that right - can I reserve seats before I actually have the pass? Thank you and Merry Christmas/festive season!
Thanks.If I’ve not got the pass yet, what do I do when the b-europe booking page asks me for the pass cover number?
Thank you Camilo.Do the pass prices increase on Jan 1st and if so do you know by how much?
Thanks,what’s the difference between 1.kl and 2.kl (I’m an English speaker),
Thanks for your replies.
Just in addition to my question I’ve just calculated this cost - based on feb/march dates/prices: Interrail option still seems favourable even if the alternative is Ouigo cheaper single ticket: Costs without pass:Stroud to London (7.31am dep) total return price £97.80 with family railcard London to Lille Europe (11.04am dep) total return price £592 arrives 13.26 Ouigo Lille Flandres to marseille: 15.15 - 20.12 £69pp (plus 3 euros pp seating) (e288) £250 return £35pp 10.02 - 14.30 (e152) £131 Marseille to La ciotat £18pp returnTOTAL WITH OUIGO £1142
