Seat reservations sent back to the post office

Yes it is PostNL and it says Item being held Adressee notified which I assume means that it’s gone back to the post office awaiting my collection. Do you think it will still be there just prior to the 1/10?  I can pick it up myself when I arrive in Paris.  Thank you :)

Thanks for your replies.  Eurail.com seems like a good legitimate business so when they asked to send the tickets to my accomodation I assumed that this is something that is common place in Europe.

When booking a train from Edinburgh to London should I use my family and friends Railcard or my Global Pass?

I’m flying into Edinburgh on the 21st.  If I go straight to the Waverley train station will I be able to reserve us 6 seats for us together on the Edinburgh - London line for travel on the 26th?

How to manage trips when 2/3 legs need reservations?

Thanks so much. I have a mobile pass.  Well at least i think i do.  It’s attached to my rail planner app i think.  I will activate it once i have my travel itinerary sorted :)

Thank you, that’s a great help.  On LNER i can only make reservations max 4 at a time.  It would be great to be able to sit together.  Do you think it’s ok to wait until we arrive in edinburgh on the 21st and book 6 at the station to travel on the 26th?  And, how likely is it that there will be delays etc because we have brought tickets to the soccer in London that same night.

Why was I charged for 6 x reservations that I didn't get confirmation for and don't have in my account at all.

Thanks for your replies.  I was contacted by eurail to let me know that there’d been a glitch in the system.  They gave an instant refund.

How to book at train from Edinburgh to Gloucester on 24th September for 6 people with family and friends pass?

I have 15 days over 2 months so plenty of days.  FYI most of the reservations I make aren’t free.  On top of my pass I’m paying about another $100+ to reserve seats so that I guarantee we are all together on a train we need to be at the right time.  In Australia if you didnt book a seat you risk the train being full and you missing out.  Plus, I can’t have my 12 year old sit on their own on a large crowded train.  Or doesn’t that happen?

How to book at train from Edinburgh to Gloucester on 24th September for 6 people with family and friends pass?

So if the UK allows travel on almost any train without a reservation does that mean that rail travel is free?  And if not, then how do I pay to travel on a train if not through a reservation?

How to book at train from Edinburgh to Gloucester on 24th September for 6 people with family and friends pass?

Thanks for your patience in helping me with this.  In Australia there’s no passes etc so I’m very confused.Here’s how I understand it.On 26th September, using trainline.com I search 6 tickets from Gloucester to London on the 11.13 train for $172.34. (aud)If i add my family and friends railcard to my search the price changes to $103.78I purchased the family and friends railcard for $55 because I thought that I would save that in this one trip alone.  I also planned to use it to save with the Edinburgh to Gloucester trip when I can work out how to buy those tickets.Does this make sense or am I still way off?  Thanks again, I’m so appreciative of your time.

How to book at train from Edinburgh to Gloucester on 24th September for 6 people with family and friends pass?

Thank you kindly for your answer.  Apologies if I wasn’t clear.  I have a family and friends railcard and a global pass.  I need to get 6 of us from Edinburgh to Gloucester on the 24th of September.  I fear that if I don’t make seat reservations I’ll get stuck somewhere and miss out on accomodation we’ve already paid for.I was able to easily make seat reservations from Gloucester to London on the 26th using trainline.com so figures this would be the same. Thanks again :)

Deactivating and reactivating a pass on the same device

Thanks for this advice but what if I don’t connect the journey to a trip until say the day before travel but then discover that the train is fully booked and we miss out?
