Does anyone have experience of having done this recently? Thank you

Hmm...In principle, it is inconceivable that they should not be available at major stations. I still wonder if anyone has any experience buying one in Paris recently. Thanks for the links, I already know those resources well however it is very kind to share them!Even SBB are only selling digital passes these days, so I am unsure about the SNCF situation.

Having spoken to SNCB-International, who were exceptionally helpful, the fault in the online booking applet will be fixed. It is possible to call to book these tickets; except for travel in the next two months. I managed, after a lot of kind help, to book one this morning for early September. Availability is loaded, just inaccessible online because the booking web applet cannot select London to Marne-la-Vallée. But there is absolutely zero availability for the whole summer until September because the few Eurostar trains on this route are almost sold out for normal revenue tickets.SNCB-International have promised to fix the web applet for booking Eurostar reservations allow direct bookings between London and Marne-la-Vallée. There is also fault on the interrail.eu side, which incorrectly sees zero availability for the whole year. Perhaps - I presume - because actual ticketing may be done via the SNCB-International online system in the backend - the fault is of course that it cannot tick

I have written to SNCB-International via the contact page on Facebook with those questions and some background. Thank you for the excellent suggestion. Will update when they come back.

I really think that is inaccurate about the Thalys, sorry. Thank you for the tip about railforums.co.uk.

So it was never possible to book Interrail reservations to Disneyland? Huh?Also, I am not sure what you mean about Thalys? The two outer Paris stations are reservable on Thalys to and from all direct destinations. The only reservation not for retail is the 11 minute run between them. Plus, Thalys doesn’t run services calling at CDG Airport or Disneyland to beyond Brussels; they all stop there.

Longstanding issue relating to reservations on Germany-France crossborder trains

I would like to add that this situation has been resolved; the journeys are now bookable via the interrail.eu reservation system.Thank you - that’s an excellent result!

Longstanding issue relating to reservations on Germany-France crossborder trains

Thank you for your swift reply, @seewulf! Your analysis of the endless little empire-building in European rail is sadly highly accurate! Nevertheless, as this is a structural issue on the DB website as well as the Eurail one, they may not just be holding back fares intentionally! It seems like a ticketing/fare bucket problem - potentially with a simple fix, but I am sure I may be wrong. @Nanja, @Leo, I know you are extremely busy. Is it in any way possible to raise these issues around display/communication of Germany-France crossborder availability across railway systems with the relevant operators. They are some of the most heavily used crossborder routes in Europe. Is it possible to understand in discussion with DB/SNCF why this error is occuring, or to ask SNCB to expand the list of permitted stations in their online booking applet for Interrail passes? Thank you again - it just seems like a lot of people have asked this question in the past - and I have experienced a lot of issues
