Hello, While checking timetables, I noticed there are practically no trains on the axis between Perpignan/Toulouse to Nîmes on the 9th, 10th and 11th of May. Unfortunately this is a quite vital link in my travel plans. I searched online for more info on why there are no trains on these dates, maybe construction works? But I can't find any information. This makes it quite difficult to plan. Will trains be available later or should I adjust my travel plans? Is there anyone here who can help? According to SNCF, Narbonne to Perpignan is closed for any rail traffic 8.5.2024 to 12.5.2024 (first and last day maybe just partly). Expect rail replacement with too little capacity (not yet confirmed). Thank you, this helps a lot. I dont understand why SNCF cant provide people this simple bit of information on their websites... It’s there, but you

Ah that’s interesting to know but a shame at the same time… Where would you be coming from @Joost26 ? I guess the Breda - Antwerpen - Kortrijk - Lille route is your best option, even if it takes some time. I chose to travel via Paris. Not ideal since it has the transfer from Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon, but I will manage. Thank you for helping out.
Well it’s weird… I can get the 20€ fare as far as Marne-la-Vallée (Disneyland) but afterwards it doesn’t work. Through RailEurope at least. What does interrail.eu show when you try booking this exact connection ? (I can’t check as I won’t have a pass valid by that date.) Interrail.eu says the following for the exact same train number on the 27th of april. For Brussels - Valence: “Prices unavailable” No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats - more info below our timetable”. For Brussels - Lille: Tickets available €32 1st Class, €22 2nd Class For Brussels - Marne-la-Vallée: Tickets available €32 1st Class, €22 2nd Class For Lille - Valence: Tickets available €22 1st Class, €22 2nd Class
The TGV from Bruxelles to France does have a special passholder tariff of 20 € 2nd class or 30 € 1st class that is (AFAIK) implemented just to stations in the Paris area (or before like Lille). If you’d like to go any further the system can’t connect two different types of reservations and it doesn’t work at all. The only workarounds I see: 1. Ask at the station. 2. Avoid the TGV from Bruxelles to Lille. I dont think this is the case. If I try a different date (for example the 23th of april) it does allow me to make a direct reservation from Bruxelles to Valence.
I think it is a dangerous advice to give to someone to enter a non-existing passnumber. It will probably be no problem in 99,5% of the cases because ticketinspectors don't get to see the passnumber when scanning the ticket or not paying attention to it. In case of Eurostar, the pass number is not mentioned at all on the reservations. This is also the case for SJ. In fact, the only case I know where they do mention the pass number is on Italian reservations booked via Trenitalia (including via Eurail/Interrail, Italiarail and probably also Rail Europe). I currently own a Renfe reservation with a passnumber on the ticket. There are a lot of resellers for interrail reservations. All of them using scripts to generate etickets. The script may not have put the passnumber on the ticket in the past put the script can be changed next week, tomorrow or today for all we know putting the number on it. The fact is, that technically a train inspector can block your pass in case of an incor
Hmmm, yes that will probably work. I think it is better to take the following steps though just to be sure: 1. Check availability of the seat reservations you desire. 2. Buy a pass 3. Buy the seat reservations using the correct pass number. It’s really not necessary to buy the pass first. You can if you prefer, of course, but the advice above is correct. I think it is a dangerous advice to give to someone to enter a non-existing passnumber. It will probably be no problem in 99,5% of the cases because ticketinspectors don't get to see the passnumber when scanning the ticket or not paying attention to it. If that is no longer the case due to policy changes or a very precisely operating train inspector people could get in trouble. My experience travelling with interrail is some ticket inspectors only take a quick glance at my reservations while others spend two minutes checking everything. On some of the reservations I made for my upcoming travels in april the passnumber in f
It mentions raileurope.com, b-europe.com and interrails own service. These platforms all require buying a pass first as far as I know. Only the latter really does. The other ones are happy to accept any pass cover number such as I11111111. It won't appear on the reservation anyway. Hmmm, yes that will probably work. I think it is better to take the following steps though just to be sure:1. Check availability of the seat reservations you desire.2. Buy a pass3.

Which websites allow to make a reservation for these routes without buying a pass first? Check here: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm It mentions raileurope.com, b-europe.com and interrails own service. These platforms all require buying a pass first as far as I know.
Which websites allow to make a reservation for these routes without buying a pass first? I dont know them myself.
