Thanks. Yes, think I’ll probably go with Snälltåget from Stockholm to Berlin. Definitely want a private couchette and will probably go with Interrail pass, so makes sense. Saw the prices and wanted to compare to SJ - I guess if I can’t wait for SJ to release tickets and still need to get Eurostar reservations done it’ll be safer to go with Snälltåget.
Thanks. This has given me some things to think about.I like the idea of the dining cart, and if I go as far as Berlin it arrives around 8.You mention SJ is cheaper reservations. Do you know how much for a private berth? I can’t see that on the reservations page, but assume it would be EUR20 x 6 berths = EUR120? Snälltåget is SEK2,500 (around EUR220).So I might do London > Amsterdam (2 nights) > Copenhagen (4 nights) > Oslo (4 nights) > Stockholm (4 nights) > Berlin (sleeper 1 night) > Brussels (1 night) > London.
Ah yes, I forgot to ask about the SJ and Snälltåget. Do you know if there is much difference in the services/stock? I can compare prices against the latest available ones and it looks like Snälltåget is already available.Berlin may be a good shout, particularly if we go with Snälltåget as that leaves at midnight from Hamburg. Will have a look at the return times.Yes, if we decide to add Amsterdam we'll do it at the start. Will have to see if connection to Hamburg is easy from there.Thanks
Thanks all. If we do miss, how do we go about getting the Thalys? Would we have to book the tickets there, or would it be covered by them?
Thanks. Have tried seat61 and noticed the shortcut, but couldn’t see him mention NJ platform.Worst case you mention is really not ideal with wife and two kids...
My concern is that I don't want to have to share the berth with two strangers. Would that possibly happen?
Thanks for your help, but this is precisely how I’m accessing. I just don’t get the ‘or select the seat of your choice’ piece. Maybe it’s a date issue? Am booking 12th August
Thanks.Weird - trying to book Vienna to Prague. I can pay for reservation, but nowhere does it show seat selection. Just the option to request a table etc. I see seat selection on a different journey I’m booking through DB (Berlin to Amsterdam), but nothing on OBB.Trying to book Vienna to Prague on DB, but it takes me to international-bahn.de, and again no seat selection...
Thanks allYes, have been keeping an eye on the Eurostar reservations. Going mid-week around 9th August so a few times left to both Brussels and Paris, but want to book soon.Appreciate the route is city-heavy, but with the kids we’re quite enjoying the city breaks.Think you may be right on Stockholm being out of the way. May leave until next year.
