Thanks for your help I did read those instructions but nothing helped so I contacted customer service. I did get a very prompt reply from them and it turned out that there was indeed some technical problem - didn’t really understand, to do with the coding? : and they fixed it for me. Thank goodness!

Spain reservation nuisances (fees, quota and more)

With regard to Spanish trains, I have found that it is usually fine just to get to the station with time to line up at the ticket counter and get the reservation on the day. Or take more time and do all your reservations in one hit if you know when you are travelling. The only time I’ve had a problem is at Easter when the trains literally fill up completely. FEVE doesn’t need reservations at all. Maybe one day RENFE will have a usuable website!And with timetables: I bought the European Rail Timetable for each trip: (global pass last year and this year) and although it felt like an expensive extra, given there is DE and trainline etc. It has been so useful - it gives accurate timetables for each country and heaps of extra information, with holidays noted and also when certain trains won’t be running. For example, I had planned to go on the Yellow train from Spain to France last year but saw that it wasn’t running at all when I’d hoped to go, and so I had time to re-plan my journ

Check out for buying global pass

Even that did not help. But it works on my (Android) phone, thank goodness. So maybe the Eurail team need to look at why the check out page won’t load on a Mac. Thanks for your suggestion: I would have hated to miss the sale!

Thanks to the community

I agree - the community has helped me a lot, and I do give feedback! I’m from Ausralia and three days in to my three month global pass and dealing with the French train strikes - so much for all that careful planning! have other people been impacted? I shall try and work out an alternative route north from the south of France to Germany, so thank goodness for the pass.

Night train 1st class with VY?

Yes, I have planned around May 1 and thought that May 17 was just a one day holiday in Norway but had no idea about Whitsun. Just remembered that the European Railway timetable does have a list of national holidays but I don’t yet have the new Spring one,which was out last week - I found that extremely useful last year as a back up to online timetables and information in case anyone is interested.

Night train 1st class with VY?

Thanks for all your information: I had no idea that the last weekend was a holiday weekend… so much for careful planning. It is so useful to have this guidance - especially with regard to the overnight trains. Entur it is! at least now I know what to do.

Night train 1st class with VY?

Okay, thanks, rvdborgt!. I shall try the chat function, too expensive to ring from Australia. Do they charge a lot for the reservations? (I have a first class global pass)Is it mandatory to reserve all Norwegian trains in advance, or do you think it is okay to just turn up at the station and do it then? I can’t imagine that they’d be completely full in May, but having never been there have no idea! Just so that you know what I am planning: Kristiansand to Stavanger 4pm on May 19th. Bergen to Oslo with side trip to Flam May 22, Oslo- Andalasnes May 24, Andalsnes- Trondheim May 25 then night train to Bodo same date. Then Narvik to Stockholm about a week later. I’ve noticed that it is easier to give advice when exact details are provided on this forum: am so grateful for any help!

Thank you very much for advice. Can I also ask: how to reserve a night train in Norway from Trondheim to Bodo using my pass: is that via the same sj.se site?

Night train 1st class with VY?

I have been waiting to book a couchette from Narvik to Stockholm but so far the site says that is unavailable for the end of May. But when I tried the suggested site, Trainplanet, to book, I still cannot see how to use my eurail pass to book: I’d be very very grateful if someone can walk me through the process. Sorry if this is something that has been covered elsewhere, but I can’t find information . thanks!

Reservation for Norway trains crushed?

How far ahead do you think I should try and reserve seats in Norway:? Ihave been reading all the Norway threads and it seems quite difficult to make reservations. I’m planning to arrive on the ferry from Hirtshals, in Kristiansand on May 18th, and get the train to Stavanger that day. Then from Bergen to Oslo a few days later, then up to Trondheim and the night train from there to Bodo. And then later, the sleeper from Narvik down to Stockholm. I have been trying to find out if these trains are likely to be booked out at that time of year. Ringing Entur from Australia is very expensive and it doesn’t answer sometimes. Or is it safe to wait until the day I arrive? I have a first class global pass. Thanks for any suggestions or advice from the community.

that works! but sorry, another question: the night train from Narvik to Stockholm is still showing “not available” for the end of May. Is that one not open for booking yet? thanks again for all your great help.
