Are passengers with tickets and no reservations generally allowed to stand in the train, even though reservations are required?

Our train goes from Narbonne to Perpigan to Figueres Vilafant (Spain) to Girona to Barcelona.  Is says High Speed train.

Martin,Do you know which section of the trip from Narbonne, France to Barcelona, Spain requires a reservation?  Is it just the section that crosses the border from France to Spain?

Is there a way, before arriving at the station, which platform a train will be leaving from?

We will be travelling in Switzerland, Italy and France

Capacity on trains where no seat reservation is required - is it possible that no seat may be available for me because others have reserved all of them?

Thanks to all of you out there.  You all have answered my questions and made the process of train travel in Europe more transparent.  It's helpful to know what options are out there.  Mark & Dana Carter

OK.  So the train company will give The Ticket Holder a credit voucher for about 20 Euros if the train is too full and we need to get off the train?

Reservations sent by physical mail, not email

Thank you.  I'm happy to hear that there are options out there should I be unable to receive my reservation on time.

OK.  Thanks.  I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be fined or told to get off the train.  Standing is not a problem.

Thank you for this information.  I did see that it was going to be sent via regular mail when I booked it, but I did not know I had any options, like the one you mentioned.  I didn't find out until a week after we booked the reservations, when Eurail emailed us, that it was going to take up to 5 weeks to get here.  Thanks again for your help.Mark & Dana Carter
