Hi @Hektor that was so helpful, thank you for your quick answer! I am new to Interrail, I wonder if I book on the SJ webpage, how does the Interrail APP include this trip? Do I have a way to introduce the data on the app?Thank you in advance😊
Great thank you again. I forgot to mark best answer, I just did. Have a nice evening :)
Thank you. I expected to have booking fees of around 10€, as that’s what Interrail website announces for trains which need reservation. I see the reality is quite different… so I guess Interrail doesn’t work better than any train operators which usually are a mess haha.It’s a pity because we have the infrastructure, the AVE connexion that goes from France to Spain through Figueres was super expensive to build and the frequency of trains is always been low, and they keep lowering it… there used to be a direct Barcelona - Toulouse, Barcelona - Lyon, and there’s always been not so many Barcelona - Paris. It’s also a problem that you kind of need to go through Paris most times…Okay sorry for the rant haha - just needed to do it once. Thanks for your answers @rvdborgt and @thibcabeSo there is no way to get a Barcelona - Paris under 35€? If I call SNCF they will charge me 35€, is that right?Same goes for Montpellier I guess. There used to be a direct Mulhouse - Freiburg, which is also gone.B
Yes I wanted to use Rodalies, I love the RG1 :D I’ve been checking that but seems a bit complex to get much further than Montpellier or Marseille in the same day. Probably will do a stop at some place. Thanks for the suggestion @Schelte !
What about if I go to La Tour de Carol first (first stop in French Pyrenees)? Not sure what my options are from there. I saw I can go to Toulouse or to Paris but I am not really sure which connections are available currently or what other options I have to try to get to Germany. My final stop is actually Hamburg but I thought I’d stop in Freiburg… quite tricky! As always helps for your help everyone, what a nice community everyone is helpful.
Deutsche Bahn planner? Never heard of that, will give it a look!You can find Rodalies de Catalunya timetables here: https://rodalies.gencat.cat/en/horaris/index.htmlThere’s a search box as well as a PDF for each one of the lines with timetables.Sad they’re not integrated into Interrail…
Hi @thibcabe that’s very helpful thanks! Didn’t think of Strasbourg but it’s actually quite a good idea.Also love the night train! Specially starting in the Pyrenees. However I don’t seem to be able to book through Interrail website. I tried on two different browsers to be sure browser it’s not the problem. Here’s what I see:Firstly I search the night train and I find it. It shows a price of From 11€.Then I click in the option of the night train. The 11€ price is gone and there is no booking button So it seems there’s no way to book anything with SNCF through Interrail website. Is anyone able to get the “Book” button?
Okay thanks for the information! 😊I’ll keep on checking and see.
Freiburg in Germany :)
Hi @MaartenBrusseleers I have the exact same problem. German, Swiss, or Swedish train operators have an option to make seat reservation for interrail pass holders. SNCF seems to be lacking behind. I also tried calling, but I had the same problem, I was on the line for 10 minutes with no answer. They say they have strikes, that might be one reason. I have the same situation than you, a TGV that is bookable through SCNF Connect is not through Interrail website. From my experience, SNCF does not facilitate things when it comes to international train connections, they have been removing very good connections and making it more difficult to navigate France from other countries. I was surprised to learn they don’t have an option for interrail booking given that other similar train operators in other countries do so. In other words, the service they give is not good. You can try to do as I did: change your booking date to for example March or April and see if the booking is available - that w
@MaartenBrusseleers you are right. The train needs to be part of the solution to climate change but train operators and governments make it so difficult for us customers to book, or afford, or find routes. If you are interested in learning why this happens, this short video explains it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY7vjbPb-SI Here’s more information from Investigate Europe’s in-depth articles on the topic of European railways:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRFtFelZcVEhttps://www.investigate-europe.eu/en/2021/derailed-europe-railway/
Perfect thank you very much! I am new to Interrail, how does the QR code work? I guess it is generated through the Interrail Planner App, am I right?
That’s super helpful thanks @rvdborgt and have a nice start into the week.
