Looking there now, searching for Stockholm - Copenhagen most trains are already sold out, only morning departures available, last being 09.22. Instead search for Stockholm - Malmo, this gives a few other options and it is only this train that requires reservations, you would be changing at Malmo anyway. The frequent Malmo - Copenhagen öresundståg trains are mostly unreservable. It is possible to do the entire Stockholm - Copenhagen on unreserved trains but it requires several changes and a much longer journey time. Hi, thanks for your help! I ended up booking Stockholm to Goteborg C (Sweden), and then there is no seat reso needed from Goteborg C (Sweden) to Kobenhavn.
Reservations on many Swedish trains can be booked for passhoders at https://www.sj.se/en/ Add interrail as discount, a pass number or pass cover number may need to be entered. I have a eurail pass, does that make a difference? And where do I add in the pass number?
You only have to Google the area and you will know. Emilia Romagna is the region in Bologna. Your train travells via Genova and the strike is of Trenitalia Tper that operates only local trains and no IC, thats Trenitalia. Thank you. I checked my train route and it is all along the coast, not in that area so that is helpful! I will keep the strikes in mind as I will be using transit in Rome and Milan later in the week
I can confirm Ventimiglia is a small station and at that time should be OK. There is a realistic alternative at 0910 via Genoa that gets you into Rome 2 hours later using a FrecciaBianca (13 euro res fees) or 3 hours later using an IC from Genoa (6 euro res fees) Thank you! I downloaded the app Trenìt and it shows that the train always is on Platform 3 at Ventimiglia. Google says there’s only 7 platforms so I think I should be okay as long as my first train isn’t late.
If you book via ÖBB online or at mayor train stations in Europe you pay for Frecciabianca 10€ (instead of 12€ via Eurail.com) and 3€ for the IC (instead of 5€ via Eurail.com) Thank you so much!!
I know Italy is on strike today; I feel like striking on Sunday does not happen as much as weekdays. Thank you so much. I hope we catch our train On sunday is strike? in Italy not and about TER Sud Est I can't find a strike info, but @mcadv sometimes is over dramatic. The Ventimiglia station is not big. @travellingdoglover
Your major worry-I speak from experience- is STRIKe again-a favorite pastime of both the French and the Italiano, followed by delays-often on very first trains of day. How big a stazione is often does not matter-more on where trains are stabled-and from what I remember as there are only 2 directions there it is either same platform (thus other side) or via tunnel to next platform. But with some more changes you can go ev 1 or 2 hrs onward, it does not mean all is lost then (but probably yes the 3€ fee for IC) Oh no… I had no idea they striked. Hopefully the second train from Vent-Rome is delayed… I hope that doesn’t happen because we have everything booked in Rome now
Hi everyone please help. I bought Eurail seat reservations from offenburg to Paris. When I got to offenburg I asked a conductor if the train was going to Strasbourgh where I would catch a connecting train to Paris. They said yes. I’m now on the train, reliving it’s not going to Strasbourg but to Karlsruhe HBF. I’m so upset, I had paid for seat resos already too. What are my options? the trains on the app say I cannot buy seat reservations. I’m assuming this is my fault and I’ll have to repurchase seat reservations again but I don’t know what to do For anyone following this, we ended up going to the information office at Karlshue and explaining our problem. We were told to go to the platform and ask the conductor as we had paid for reservations and to show him that. The conductor let us on (thank gosh, it was the last train to Paris) but is was fully packed so we sat on the floor (along with many many others lol).
Apparently there are local trains across the border from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg with no reservation costs. I am now also again in DE/Germany and I am a bit surprised-why ask_ on ALL platforms are always screens that clearly show what the train is for and what stops it makes. We had a very very short layover time due to our first train being delayed, and we asking someone is usually faster. We didn’t know until we got onto the train. Anyways; an update: the information desk told us to wait till the next train from Karlsruhe to Paris and explain what happened to the conductor. They weren’t able to change or make reservations but because we had already paid she said they would most likely let us board if there’s free seats. there is no free seats. myself along w many others are sitting on the floor/standing along the sides but I’m grateful to have made it on board :)
Apparently there are local trains across the border from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg with no reservation costs. Thank you so much. I’m in line at the ticket office at Karlshue. So upsetting because we ran onto the train after asking too. When we talked to the conductor she said we should go back 45 min to Strasbourgh but we would miss our train by 10 minutes. We decided to stay here and see if we can get something. I’ll keep this updated in case anyone else runs into this problem.
Booking reservations as you go can either be done at ticket offices, who will give you a printout anyway, or via sites that will send e tickets in pdf format which can be shown alongside your mobile pass, to which you have of course added the relevant train to your travel day. Your pass generates a QR code, which is your ticket for all trains you add to your pass (one QR code covers all trains taken and added to the pass from your trip in that travel day. Remember that your pass is separate from your reservation so both are needed on trains with mandatory reservations. If you are travelling tomorrow then any reservation requiring a print out to be sent by snail mail will never reach you in time and you will need to use an alternative method. Paris to Barcelona is a regular problem on this community and has been answered many times so a quick search will show you the options there. Thank you! Any chance you know if it’s more expensive at ticket offices? Also ticket offices are alway
