Reservations

Hi we are still travelling in uk. Basically travelling in uk for short distance like 30 -1 hours journey not necessary for reservations, but need to done Yr qr code ready before get in to the train. Sometimes we reached railway station and noticed the train delayed or cancelled, so we just change the pass In planner/ my trip. Some destinations need reservations fee in eurail planner, We bought tickets free from ;Free reservations are available online for LNER trains only.Note: lner for reservations Yr ticket free. And you add train schedule in MY TRIP must be same TIME. With above you can go any railway station in uk.PLANNER is friendly and good to use as guidance for the information and train information in every station. Gd

Planning

To secure you able to create the QR code without panic, my idea.1. Create 2 different time in planner and save to my trip.2. Activate the train time that suit your schedule when you reach train station or Activate the QR for the specific train before get in to that train.Not rushing, if you run out of time, you still can create the above same method with new internally.

Change the train during the travel day - Can I delete or change my train (whitout reservation) one hour before the start of the train?

Hi, I used eurail pass travel few countries, we miss train/ change/ cancelled our train time . We don't pay reservations fee but we do planning and add in destinations in the planner trip, but when reach the railway station, we still can deactivate the scheduled time and activate the new time , just refer to the train ACTUAL SCHEDULE shown on trains led panel, it is simply and convenient, not worry!

seat reservation booked up

We enjoying using the oass, and still in travelling with eurail global pass, and we seldom do set reservations accept compulsory. We do forecast from eurail planner, and go to railway station check with the schedule screen for actual time, we often do amendments on the train timetables depending our convenience.

Hi I just sharing my Experience, I bought 15 days pass,1.first travel day my train left due to Airport crew strikes , ( eurail compensate 1 day back to me).2. We can change our time schedule as we like, we just get in to the train and show the crew our qr 3. I miss the train with my family in Switzerland, we easily meet up with changing other train with the schedule from rail planner. 4. Now Our train in Germany cancelled when we reached half way of our destination, we add new qr for new train at the station and boarding other train to same destination. 5. We seldom pay reservations fee! 6. Eurail pass really fantastic and easy to use, my kids become experts ofter few time they booked the trains!!!!7. I definitely encourage to use eurail pass for those want to travel between Europe Goods day and happy journey to all eurail pass users.Lee

Looking for 17 days Europe trip advice

Hi thanks for the information about tirano/milan bus. I still have some doubt about the train connections and information provided by eurail planner. 1. Earlier I saw a route from milano to brusells have a direct from milan to Mannheim, so we sbout want to confirm this itenially, but now I check again it changed and need to transit ? (picture attached ). 2. Some itenially need to go for few transit and every transit time is very short like few minutes, is it work? We can catch up the following train? (Picture attached)3. One of my destination is Brussels, but the app planer offer us few stations for Brussels, which one should book? Because we also need to tally our hotel location. Tq
