I’ll go to the station and ask. We’ve already got add-on twin sleeper reservations from Inverness so I’m hoping wouldn’t have to sit in seats to Perth, but we shall see. Thanks again…
Thanks. I have booked Eurostar already, that’s partly why I’m worried that it might fall apart. As you say, can change it to eg Perth to London (haven’t quite grasped the entering the time as midnight yet but the penny May drop) but then need to ask if and how I can buy tickets on the sleeper departure to get to Perth.. maybe I can ask at the station 🙏😬
Thanks again. As it happens we have 1st class passes, so I think you’re suggesting going through oebb for reservations..
Oops, and the departure time 1218…
Thanks very much, all noted. The date for 1. Is 13 June.
Are you starting in the UK, with the Caledonian or Cornwall sleeper? There’s a quirk here. Everywhere else in Europe, it is the day of the departure that counts for sleepers - so you can travel all day, then board a sleeper in the evening, stay on it until the end, and you’ve only used one travel day (as long as you make no connections after midnight). In the UK, it is in theory the day of arrival that counts. So boarding a sleeper in Scotland, then taking the Eurostar and further continental trains should only count as one travel day. But in practice, the planner seems to apply the day of departure rule. It’s never really been cleared up by Eurail what the traveller is supposed to do Aha! Yes, the plan is to start on the Caledonian Sleeper, so that’s interesting. Will bear in mind and look for anything definitive. Much to learn!
Thanks - still trying to establish for sure whether these can be multi-leg journeys as long as I end up at an exit point, or only single legs, if anyone can clarify for sure. Extreme example - if I were in North Wales somewhere, could my outbound travel day be one leg to Manchester, a second to London, and then a third to Gatwick? Or would only the London to Gatwick leg be allowable on my interrail pass?Thanks..
