@Steve Weber Actually, the Swiss Railways nail it again: 😎 The online map I just sent is very detailed, and encompasses almost all of Europe. https://maps.trafimage.ch/ch.sbb.netzkarte?baselayers=ch.sbb.netzkarte,ch.sbb.netzkarte.dark,ch.sbb.netzkarte.luftbild.group,ch.sbb.netzkarte.landeskarte,ch.sbb.netzkarte.landeskarte.grau&lang=en&layers=&x=529567.05&y=6538603&z=6.06 Although the features only work in Switzerland but all other passenger rail maps seem to be correct. Amazing 👏
Here are some maps of rail routes in Scotland: https://www.scotrail.co.uk/plan-your-journey/our-routesAnd rest of the UK: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/rail-maps.aspx
Journeys are saved in your trips. So go to the 'My Trip' part of the app and then select the trip where you've been saving your journeys.If you press on a journey and keep your finger held down, action options should come up to delete it.
Hi @Shaz I think that’s a good move. They don’t start boarding until just 30 minutes before departure, but there aren’t loads of foot passengers, so the short turnaround is completed quite quickly.You may well know, but just in case and assuming your Interrail Pass is active, using discount code EURAIL2023 on the Stena Line website gets you a discount (up to 30%).If you use Google Maps to find the ferry port in Gothenburg, this bridge (Stenabron) will take you right into the terminal and the machines that check you in / print the boarding pass.We stayed in STF Stigbergsliden Hostel Göteborg, which is a ten-minute walk up the road from the ferry terminal. Shared toilet/bathroom but it’s nice and clean and a good budget option close to the ferries, with some nice places to eat/drink also easy to walk to (we liked Kulturhuset Oceanen and Blackbird).@rvdborgt is spot on about getting the those trams. We bought our tram tickets in the Pressbyrån convenience store in Gothenburg Central Stati
I know his thread is a bit old but others may find it as I did a week or two ago when I was trying to do the same thing. I see openrailwaymap got mentioned, which is an amazing resource, but you can’t draw onto it. However there is a tool that uses the ORM API and allows you to add and export routes, https://signal.eu.org/osm/ I’ve just used this to create maps for the online diary I’ve been keeping of my ongoing Interrail adventure, and have written up the instructions of how I did it in a lot more detail at https://travels.bream.org/about-this-site/ Hopefully someone will find it useful :) Nice maps and photos Steve :)
As @Yorkie says, better to both use your Mexican passports as your ID (for your Eurail Passes, regardless of what other ID you're using for other stuff). Select Mexico as your country of residence when booking the Passes. That'll make the travel you want to do in and out of the UK much more straightforward :) And passport is also simpler proof of ID than anything else too.
Evacuated to normal seats in our bedclothes. Not the best nights sleep I have ever had! Anyone else ever experienced something similar? It was pretty terrifying. I've been disturbed and felt rubbish after most night trains I've taken tbh, including... getting asked to vacate our carriages on the way to Syracuse (for the duration of the section that the train goes on the ferry, early hours of the morning when you want to be tucked up), and had other people sitting in my bed for the entirety of a trip albeit in 3rd class to Jaipur! I suppose they make for good stories rather than good sleeps. Never been in an incident like yours though, and thank gosh it didn't get worse and you're safe. I hope you and your family are all feeling better now.
Anyone can use the Global Pass but keep in mind that you can only travel on two days in the country of residence you select when booking (and need ID as your proof).With that in mind, what valid passports will you both have with you at the time you plan to travel? Assuming you might have dual citizenship.Paper Passes can be delivered to most of the UK, yes. You can also get a mobile Pass (a digital version that's an app on your phone). All that info on the Eurail/Interrail websites.
Just to add to what the other folks have already suggested, if you're only planning on doing those 3 train trips then buying point-to-point tickets might well be cheaper and less hassle than a Pass.So that would mean buying a single ticket Amsterdam to Paris, for example using https://www.nsinternational.com/en. And a day return ticket for Paris to Bruxelles, for example using https://www.b-europe.com/EN.A Pass sometimes offers more flexibility and better value when taking several trains in different countries for a less pre-planned trip. But since you want to take popular trains at a busy time and will likely encounter a need to reserve seats anyway, that aspect of the Pass becomes less relevant.
It's the same code you use to unlock your phone.
This question gets answered more often on other travel forums that provide a broader range of topics than rail travel focus here.The general consensus seems to be that if you can "squish" your bag down to Aer Lingus' maximum dimensions you'll be fine.If you can't squish it into the right size, but if it isn't clearly oversized or clearly too heavy, you'll probably have no problems either.If it's clearly too big or in the unlikely event they make you measure or weigh it and it's over, then obviously it's their rules at their discretion and whatever good/bad luck you may encounter. https://www.reddit.com/r/irishtourism/comments/w0fdrw/aer_lingus_personal_item_restrictions_how_strict/
In case it's useful for planning the brisk walk, station platforms and Eurostar location map can be downloaded at the bottom of this page: https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Stations/Brussels-MidiLive information about arrival platform/track also available. Eurostar entrance looks like:
If you're using his Swedish passport/ID as his proof of identity and only going to France, then I'm sure it will be fine.If you've both selected Germany as country of residence then note that you can only use one travel day for travelling out of Germany and one travel day travelling back in.
Thanks for the info ! No problem to take the bus for us but accomodation within the Lake District seems very expensive (end of August)… We’re now considering staying in Carlisle and doing a bus day trip to the Lake District from Penrith to Windermere (via Keswick or Ullswater). Then the next day take the Carlisle - Settle railway :) Sounds good! :) Hope the trip goes well.
Just to update this thread:Eurail/Interrail/German Rail Pass currently are yes indeed accepted on the Niebüll (DE) to Tønder (DK) section, and then onwards to Esbjerg (DK): https://www.neg-niebuell.de/PDF/PDF_Tarife/Tarife_Nieb_Tondern_2023_04.pdf The Passes are also being accepted Niebüll − Dagebüll Mole: https://neg-niebuell.de/index.php/fahrkarten/tarife/anerkennungenWe travelled on the border-crossing Arriva trains three times this week. Tickets were checked once on the Danish side. Interrail Pass was OK. No checks on the German side. One time passport control checks were done as the train waited in Tønder.Other thing to note is that the Interrail planner thinks there are two different trains (Niebüll > Tønder, Tønder > Esbjerg and vice versa), when actually it’s just the one train going the whole way and no change in Tønder. DB Navigator understands that it’s the one single train.This wasn’t a big issue for us but is misleading: the Interrail planner thinks there’s too littl
@JDH Thanks very much for the advice. We might spend a night in Carlisle or Penrith and explore the next day the Lake District by bus (or even boat). Which destination is better for the night ? Carlisle or Penrith ? Carlisle is a much bigger town with more of interest than Penrith but either would do for an overnight stay. The Lake District would definitely occupy you for a day, it has decent enough bus connections in the peak season. https://tiscon-maps-stagecoachbus.s3.amazonaws.com/Timetables/Cumbria/Lakes%20Connection/Summer%202023/CNL%20Summer%2023%20Lakes%20Guide%20WEB%20V2.pdf https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/cumbria-and-north-lancashire/explore-the-lakes-by-bus Yeah, like Al says, Carlisle (bigger city) and Penrith (market town, which is closer to the Lakes) are both fine and have those decent buses operating, though neither are particularly mind-blowing.If you wanted to base yourself close to a train station in the Lake District, you can of course change at
I booked through the Eurail app and was assigned a random seat in first class. I wrote to SNFC on Facebook and they told me that I have to return it and buy another one but when I do that I get another random seat again. Is there no chance in first class to choose the seat? What's actually the problem with the seat that was assigned to you? I just want to exchange it for another one. I think that if you pay you should have the chance to choose where you want to sit and especially in a "first class" pass. I certainly agree with you. Unfortunately the different reservation systems and people operating them don’t make the reality as easy as you’d hope though.Wherever you’re sat in 1st class, I think it’s going to be a good journey for you.Good luck ringing SNCF as per the advice above and let us know how you get on. If you originally received an e-reservation and still have it, it might help to have the “Dossier Voyage” reference number (also known as PNR) cl

On the day you want to travel, go to the ticket office and show the staff your valid and active mobile Passes on your phones.They should then give you a ticket like in the image below, which will allow you to pass through the barriers.As mentioned, because the route isn't recognised in the app, you need to create a manual entry for the journey itself. Type some random letters into the planner until it gives you the option to 'add your journey manually' and then put it in. Though when I did this nobody actually checked, they just wanted to see the Pass was active and we had the ticket.
On the way back down from Glasgow, you could get off the train in Penrith and take a bus to Pooley Bridge in the Lake District. There's a walk/hike from there around the beautiful lake Ullswater to Glenridding, then take a boat over the lake back to where you started.In terms of the cities, I think it sounds fabulous what you're doing, starting in York and ending in Bristol/Bath.
If you're using the mobile Pass and the Planner bit isn't finding any Sheffield-London trains, don't worry, it's the same for me.If you go to the Stations tab instead and look up Sheffield and set the date as 10/04, you'll get plenty of direct trains to add to your trip.
I've tried putting in the details here (see @BrendanDB's comment) but without knowing the train you were on, or French(!), I didn't get a result.
Do you know when do those engineering works start @rvdborgt? I'll be in Belgium over Easter.
I managed to load and scan the reservations via eurostar.com (manage booking > get tickets) on my phone. Without any app.
I like using the DB Navigator app linked up to my PayPal. Makes booking the reservations like these nice and easy.
Don't be shy and let us know about your challenge.
