@rvdborgt Great!Thanks a lot for the extensive research on this trips. It helped me a lot!I still have a hard time finding the right information myself. I think I know how to check the availability of passholder seats on the TGVs on this website (is this website part of the Interrail website or of the NMBS website?), but the route from the France territory to Belgium (or Bruxelles), or The Netherlands (Amsterdam) is still a mystery to me. Seems it takes a lot of experience to easily find your way on the European railway network.Anyway … many thanks again!
@rvdborgt Thanks again for the quick reply. I checked the websites you suggested in your first message. At first I thought I had to enter an Interrail pass number, but it appeared that I only had to enter a pass type (1st or 2nd class). So now I am a step further. I see some trains appear on these sites (but not all of them?). I wanted to travel from Amsterdam to Marseille with a minimum of transfers. I can travel via Bruxelles Midi and that gets me to Marseille with only one transfer. But availability is low. Maybe I have far more chance to travel that route if I except more transfers? Maybe my approach is too rigid?
It seems that I only can check availability of seats after I have purchased an interrail ticket (in the phone app or on the website). And after I purchase an interrail ticket it might be very well possible that there are no seats left on the route and day I want to travel. A bit of a catch 22. Or am I looking at the wrong place? Is there a solution for this problem?
Thank you very much for you quick and clear answer!Will the chances be higher for successfully making a reservation if I travel on a first class interrail ticket?
