So the night train doesn’t accept passengers at Copenhagen? Or I have to take my chances to board it without a reservation? Just trying to understand how that night train works.Thank you for your insights!
The time I wanted to travel - just to arrive sooner in Utrecht, to be honest - says “reservations impossible.” The later train, departing Copenhagen three hours later (3:01 am local time) does have an option for a seat reservation.
I’m trying to reserve a seat DB IC 433 directly on the bahn.de web site, and am getting the message “reservation impossible” … however I haven’t purchased a ticket, just trying to get seat reservation only, then use my Eurail pass as my ticket.
Can I use bahn.de to make seat reservations, as Seat61 recommends?
Here is my desired day 1 itinerary. all times are Central European Time. I found scheduled times at thetrainline.com - I realize train schedules may change somewhat between now and May:20 May 2023Copenhagen to Odense St., DB train depart 00:01 am, arrive 1:11 amOdense St. to Hamburg, DB train IC 403 depart 2:35 am, arrive Fredericia St. 4:45 amFredericia St. to Flensburg, DB train IC 5751 depart 4:45 am, arrive Flensburg 6:07 am Flensburg to Hamburg Hbf, DB train RE 11159 depart 8:15 am, arrive Hamburg Hbf 8:45 amHamburg Hbf to Osnabruck Hbf, DB train ICE 107 depart 10:35am, arrive Osnabruck Hbf 11:14 amOsnabruck Hbf to Hengelo, DB train RB 2-364 depart 12:26 pm, arrive Hengelo 12:26 pmHengelo to Utrecht Centrall, DB train IC 1746, depart 12:54 pm, arrive Utrecht Centraal 14:23 pm--Am I able to take fewer trains and not pay more due to possessing a Eurail pass? Other things I should be concerned about? Some of these connections are tight.Thanks,Scott
Elsewhere, I’ve been advised to use Rail Europe to make my seat reservations for those trips requiring seat reservations in advance, as it is much smoother than Eurail Rail Planner. Opinions?
