Short transfer from Switzerland to Italy

Hi, trying to do seat reservations for train from Switzerland to Florence, Italy in early July 2025. The transfer time in Switzerland is only 15 mins before train is then direct to Italy. Not sure how passport control/immigration works here given the short turn around between trains?

Caledonian Sleeper and CET

Hello, we were planning on taking the Caledonian Sleeper from Edinburgh to London before travelling onwards to Strasbourg. The Sleeper leaves Edinbugh at 23.40pm but I understood that the travel day starts at 00.00 CET so I could enter train manually onto mobile pass as leaving at 00.40pm, avoiding using 2 travel days. I am now reading the rules changed as of January 2025 and now it is local time that counts. The information on the website still refers to pass running on CET but terms and conditions says use local time. I am very confused, can anyone help?

milan retourn

Because my wife can’t fly, we want to get the train from London to milan. Leave 31/8/25 and return 14/9/25. I’ve tried to look on the site but am struggling to find the options I want. I don’t know which type of pass I need for the trip. Needs to be a direct route as well, as we are going to tour Italy by car in between.

Raill replacement bus in the UK

On my next Scotland trip, I plan a stop in York on the way back before riding to Portsmouth to catch the ferry. Unluckily, it’s on a weekend (22-23 march) were all lines south of York are closed. There are rail replacement buses running to Doncaster, and also to Selby and Leeds, all three in about an hour which then connect on trains to London, so in theory there’s no problem. However I’d like to be sure if I can consider this reliable, or if it can be like “there’s one bus every hour and 200 people waiting so you will wait for 3 hours”. LNER says the trains may be crowded and advises to book, but nothing special about the buses. Alternatively, there’s a regional train route that still works to Leeds via Harrogate, barely slower than the replacement bus, but the first train is quite late on the Sunday morning and I’d have to be sure it would run normally and not be overcrowded to decide to wait for it (otherwise I wake up early and take a bus asap). At least, the good things are I will

France to Braga (Pt) via Vigo (Sp)

Hello, is it possible to get from Bayonne/Hendaye (Fr) to Vigo (Sp) in one day via Bilbao or other northern Spanish city to avoid Madrid? I’m looking to travel 1 July 2025 but searching for dates before then (eg in 2 days time) as I know many routes are still not live. However, even when I search for the next few days/weeks, no routes at all are showing. I’m trying to avoid Barcelona and Madrid as I travel from London to Braga in Portugal (hence wanting to get to Vigo and cross the Spain/Portugal border there). Thanks for any creative travel tips! Julia

Did I schedule things properly?

Hi, I write because I start to fill nervous about the way I subscribed our global passes and how I reserved all trains for a long trip that should take place from 12 up until the 24th April (13 days). I would therefore be really thankful if any of you could tell me whether I did things correctly, or not. In case it is important... all steps were carried out from a PC. My mobile phone is 15 years old, too slow and does not work correctly with some applications. The phone just served for validation of bank security codes, and things like that. Here below, how I proceeded: First, I did a simulation on the Interrail website, which suggested that the pass I needed was a 7 days one. I subscribed (paid) one for me and my daughter (17 years old). However, 2 days later my wife decided herself up. I therefore got a second “independent” pass (of same kind). I then proceeded with reservations. I had many problems because I had to login once and once again to be able to validate each reservation, w
