Travelling on a weekday so the earlier train is no use. That SNCF timetable is mental, they’ve even got a little section proudly displaying the utterly useless connection times to Barcelona.
The times are from the SNCF app and the Rodalies website.
There’s a lot of unclarity about that, but as for now, you are able to use it. See this discussion. If the app won’t select it, you can always add a trip manually. (DB/NS want to avoid overcrowding on the ICE, in the summer peak travel periods but are still discussing the modalities) Aye, I was aware of them removing validity in the summer then rescinding that decision. Bit weird that all trains direct are now showing no pass validity. Interrail’s Twitter support has responded with confirmation that pass is still valid, see my message below.
Interrail’s Twitter support has responded with the following message.“Thank you very much for your message. I apologise for the inconveniences. The journey is still included in the Pass and this message is only for travellers in June, July and August. Please make sure the App generates the QR code for this journey. Kind regards”
Yes, this is correct, there are city walls and fences arounc port blocking a more direct route, you have to enter Port area at the northern point of your route Thanks. I reckon a taxi may be best then.
I also would suggest avoiding Paris if your destination is Germany. I’m from near Oban and have done Glasgow to Cologne in one day, in time for dinner, admittedly without kids though. I still think Glasgow to Brussels is no problem in a single trip, also decent accommodation in London isn’t cheap. Another option to consider, and this is the route I’m taking next week, is via ferry Newcastle to Amsterdam. It’s costing us £48 each, each way including bus transfer from Newcastle / Amsterdam and that’s overnight so saves on an overnight accommodation stay. Food and drink on board is expensive but many folk just take a picnic. Our tickets from Glasgow to Newcastle were so cheap it was no point wasting a pass day on them. from Amsterdam you could easily get to Baden Wurttemberg in time for dinner, or take a more leisurely day and stop somewhere on the way, maybe on the Rhine.
