Thank you for all your help & time.However, I just couldn’t understand one thing (due to my lack of experience with Eurail):About Tirano-Milano, there are works and they put a bus instaed of a local train on this line. On local trains reservations are not possible, just add the bus or the train in the app and hop on the bus/train and find a free seatI don’t know how to find this bus, so I can add it? And as per my previous searches, Tirano - Milan was a paid route requiring reservation, however, you are saying its free ??
Thank you for the detailed information. Related to what you have told me, I had a few additional queries:I hear the term, ‘Regional Trains’ a lot. Which trains are these? I would be carrying 2 x 23 KG Luggage bags along (besides bag pack). I hope we can take these along on all trains and all related (especially) buses? I couldn’t fully understand your first point “Tirano - Milan : reservation-free (not possible). There are engineering works this summer so you might have to take a bus for part of the journey (pass valid).” Your first point regarding Tirano-Milan, you mean there is no ‘Free’ Train available? And secondly, what is meant by ‘Pass Valid’, for the journey to be taken on the Bus due to train closure, and how to avail that? If I book tickets through different train sites, like tickets.oebb.at. How will I be able to use them.. like I have to add them in Rail Planner app (how?) or just keep the PDF on my phone? My last query is regarding “Night Trains”. I guess people use them t
13. If your itinerary isn't fully set, I'd travel in this order : France - Belgium - Switzerland - Italy - daytime or night train to Munich - Munich - Berlin + night train Berlin - Copenhagen. As long as you board the last train before midnight, only one pass day is used. Unfortunately, my itinerary is set & I would not be able to make major changes due to hotel bookings (though it is far from perfect 😓 ).Why are you suggesting night trains within Germany? Are there any advantages? And by ‘night trains’ you mean the trains showing me “+1” with them?
10. Rail replacement buses when there are engineering works + boats on Lake Thun and Brienz (Switzerland). Those are mostly exceptions. You get a 25-50% discount for most mountain railways in Switzerland. I read on the Eurail website that Bernina and Glacier Express are totally free with Eurail Global Pass! (?) Boats on Lake Thun and Brienz are included with this pass (for free)?
9. There usually is a waiting space (seats) or what do you mean ? In big stations there are lockers for luggage too. Yes I mean to keep my 2 x luggage bags (23 KG each) temporarily for 1-3 hours, while I can explore that city a little bit (or maybe take a few photos)
7-8. Explained in my last post. Sorry, couldn’t get you :( Can you guide where I can find this answer?
4. It depends but you shouldn't wait for those trains, esp. Thalys between Paris and Antwerp as it has a limited quota (can sell out weeks in advance). There are always alternatives though. You need to book night trains ASAP if you're planning on taking them. Can you please explain what you mean by booking the Night Trains ASAP? What is the benefit of these, as I found them quite long, for example, 10-16 hours?
