This is all very confusing. I want to go from Cardiff to Heathrow in August on a Global Eurail pass. I go to “book reservation” on https://www.eurail.com/en/... and it comes up with itinerary but cannot book reservation. It says to go to acprail.comOk. Fine… I go and choose reservations and get Train 850 - Depart Cardiff Central at 08:50 - Arrive London Paddington at 10:59 ( ATOC)Information: Great Western Railway Train 1125 - Depart London Paddington at 11:25 - Arrive Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail at 11:47 ( ATOC)Information: Heathrow ExpressPerfect…. Er. Except when I read the chat above, it seems that HEX is in fact not valid. So I can buy a reservation but they wont let me on the train?? Great. Which scares the heck out of me for the Cardiff leg… Given that ACP is letting me reserve a non-existent ticket, how do I know I will actually be allowed on the train in Cardiff even??I’d be a lot happier if I could book at least “something” on eurail.com
Hi Mcadv, thanks for the [very!] fast reply. Considering just the Cardiff → Paddington (or Cardiff->Reading) leg, I see ACPRAIL is asking for $10, which I am happy to pay for the peace of mind. Will that reservation be valid with my Global Eurail pass?
Oh wow. That GWR link is perfect.
All booked [I have young kids so want to make sure they are in a different carriage to me]. Oops. Typo. :-)
