Update for anyone else making this journey over the weekend 22/23 April. It is now possible to make a reservation only booking for services provided by OBB. As expected the journey will involve an ‘SV200’ rail replacement bus, at least on the 23rd, between Salzburg Hbf and Wörgl Hbf (Vorplatz) then onward connection either by an EC or Cityjet Xpress. Thanks for earler discussion / advice.
Thanks. I have applied the Interrail discount but for travel over this weekend this makes no difference to the offer of “Ticket not available”. I have discovered that there is DB Netz construction work affecting this route over that weekend but it seems strange that I can buy a ticket but not make a reservation only. There is another option of travel by WESTBahn trains, although there are only three on the Sunday. By WESTBahn it is a clear rail replacement bus between Salzburg and Innsbruck but note that this requires a mandatory - FREE - reservation via westbahn.at.
Thank you very much, I’ll take a look at each of the options suggested.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the two Polish international journeys I’m looking to do are Lithuania (from Bialystok) and Slovakia (from Krakow).
Absolutely, I found two things I needed to do to get the reservations needed. First, and I believe noted elsewhere, the fact that you can only book one reservation at a time due to the need to add each individual Pass Number. However, I also found that I couldn’t make the required second reservation and simply add it to my basket / cart as the system wouldn’t offer me an option to book a seat; I had to log out and back in again!Very frustrating that you can’t make on-line reservations on ‘international’ trains from or to Poland. Let’s hope that they are still available when I get to a booking office.I agree that the sheer volume of knowledge at The Man in Seat 61 is invaluable.Thank You.
Thank you for ‘ralderton’ for taking the time to reply. I have now managed to book reservations on my chosen train. It seemed that for some reason that when clicking on ‘V’ or ‘CHOOSE’ the system didn’t offer any options for the train required but I managed eventually to get through this problem by doing repeated searches. The other issue was that I needed two reservations for this train but hadn’t realised that you need to do these separately!
