@Tulbagh - sorry I hope the messages are also useful to you as a workaround.I have been sending detailed breakdowns of the issue to Myinterrail and they neither answer the questions and the latest email fobs me off to contact Eurail to sort it all out (they seem to be washing their hands of responsibility with one line responses which I’m not OK with).They haven’t answered the key question of - should a mobile pass code bought on Myinterrail.co.uk work on Interrail.eu and be able to connect to a trip so that you can make reservations yourself. If that was never the case then manual reservations might be the only hope. I’ll let you know if I get a response.
@AnnaB Have you encountered the Rail Planner vs Interrail.eu timetable differences? Has this ever cropped up in discussion? I will try to make the reservations as above (thank you!!) but for the rest of my trains, how do I know which timetable to trust? especially ones with international changes. Huge thanks
I encountered the same issue - Belgrade is a hub in the Balkans linking east and west and yet Belgrade - Sofia and Belgrade to Zagreb are not running due to COVID. I thankfully spotted it on Man in Seat 61. Train alternative is long winded via Hungary and Romania and very long.Some more detail below about the proposed route and disruptions. Basically a bus is needed. Rome to Rio website was helpful for planning this.https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/belgrade-to-sofia-by-train.htm
App screenshot aboveInterrail.eu below Screenshots just for ease. I hope this doesn’t all sound melodramatic. Just a bit confused and want to make sure I’m turning up to train times correctly. Based on first trip I pasted in the table above. Leaving Krakow Glowny on 10.07.22 at 13:37 (according to Interrail.eu search train times)
@rvdborgt - as requested. Sorry about the columns pasting weirdly but hopefully makes sense
Hi, Huge thanks. I’ve come against another issue which is related but was responsible for the hold up.I planned my itinerary using https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip for the timetable. I’ve started transferring these to a trip within the app and am finding the train times don’t align at all with the schedules within the app. I’m now not sure if one or the other is correct right as the entire set of trains seem is different with both up side by side.For instance, try to find Krakow - Warsaw or Warsaw - Prague in Interrail.eu (to the time/date I’ve specified) and then again in the Railplanner app. I’ve checked every filter, dates and triple checked again. Cross-referenced Train ID codes too. I can’t work out why there are train and time differences when they should be the same? It’s like they’re parallel timetables This would impact reservations if I tried. I’ve only included those Interrail.eu has identified as needing a reservation below for now.Huge thanks to you all. Humbled
Likewise - sorry to hear it has happened to you.. I have pummelled them with messages so far. I don’t have social media otherwise I would on there and I can see others have done so. The worst thing about it is they have a frequently asked questions section: https://www.myinterrail.co.uk/help/faqs/The email they suggest bounces back as not existing. The host website doesn’t exist either. At this point Your TripHow do I make a reservations & much will I have to pay?Our partner International Rail Ltd offers an excellent reservation service. Please contact them on myinterrail@internationalrail.com for further assistance. @AnnaB Thank you! I’ve looked at Man in Seat 61 for advice too and scoured the national rail websites. On the Polish rail website there was an option to just book a couchette and tick Interrail pass. Also some youtube videos say thought the app says you need a reservation, you often don’t in Eastern Europe as you would in Western though gambling in high season sounds
Hi,I’m having similar issues which is a nightmare. Bought a continuous global pass on Myinterrail.co.uk who are the uk branch of Interrail.eu. My pass number works in the app but to make seat reservations, it steers you towards the website flagging that this is a separate booking system. I’ve created a Interrail.eu account online but it does not recognised the pass number and/or name that I was issued by Myinterraik.co.uk. Had I bought directly from Interrail.eu, I’m sure this would be a doddle.I’ve messaged both but am tearing my hair out as I’m stuck - I can’t just go and chance every train without reservations as many need them as a condition and I am travelling in high season so am really worried that every day that goes by, there may not be reservations spots left, scuppering my timetable.I have contacted both but has anyone else had this issue?
