I was able to book reservations from Lund Central to Goteborg using TrainPlanet.com . I’ll arrive in Goteborg only 55 minutes later than via HST, and the reservations were sent by email. This leg turns into train + bus + train and so I have five (total) transfers that day, but they are all 25 minutes or longer. I have never seen Sweden, and now I know I will have window seats on this mid-day journey. 🙂 I hear the autumn colors may be showing.The “return to Berlin” leg remains unconfirmed, but I think you have given me enough options to work on that later today. Thanks again, very much.

Thanks again for the advice!I have not rebooked my tight connection in Warsaw yet. It looks as if reservations are not available on either train departing Warsaw, and so I may lose a half-day getting to Berlin. I am still working om that.I keep checking the HST status through Lund in hopes that the construction will be complete in the next week. If not, the Oresundtag link will be handy!
Thank you, thibcabe, for your prompt reply.I used intercity.pl to online-purchase a spot in a sleeper car I wish to take from Krakow to Warsaw, departing 00:24 07.10.2023 (TLK35170). It was a small amount more than the price Eurail quoted, but Eurail would then need shipping costs, and shipping time too. So I bought it without using my Eurail pass at all. The ticket arrived by email within a minute. The peace of mind in securing the ticket ahead of time is worth any difference.Using what I learned there, I continued and used intercity.pl again to book a day train (seat) Warsaw to Berlin (EIC 248). But I was surprised to see no Eurail discount, even for a seat. I then tried Deutschebahn’s web site and again, saw no way to use my Eurail pass. Both sites only offered full fare. Booking through Eurail would be easy, but was again a paper pass and would require shipping time. So I have made no progress on this leg of my trip. That leg is reservations-required and my connection in Warsaw is
