I’m having a similar issue - interrail is showing me prices for sleepers and letting me put them in the cart, then giving an error and saying they’re not available after all. I tried the Hungarian and Romanian train companies; the sleeper tickets are available from CFR, but there’s no option for seat/reservation only, just the full ticket with reservation.
Just to update - nobody came round to check tickets etc. until after we’d left Mestre - and the conductor saw we’d got on at S. Lucia but didn’t bat an eyelid. It also turned out we’d booked to Wien Miedling rather than Wien hbf, but no issues there either. I guess I’m too used to UK stations where the automatic barriers don’t have any margin for error...
I had a similar question - the interrail reservation tool shows sleepers, couchettes etc. available for that train most days in August, but when I click through to book I get as far as ‘review your booking’ then it says it’s not available after all. Is the only way to buy to go to the station at Budapest? Any idea of the likelihood of there still being space on the day we want to travel (which will be 3-4 days after arriving in Budapest)?
