One Country Pass Rance; Bruxelles to Bordeaux included? Reservation needed?

Hello fellow travelers 👋I'm looking for information regarding my trip from Bruxelles to Bordeaux. I'd be traveling with the One Country Pass for France. My question: is the Thalys train connection Bruxelles-Midi to Paris Nord included in the One Country Pass for France and do I only need to pay for the reservation or do I have to buy a separate ticket which is not the Interrail one? It is a direct connection so I don't know which rule applies. Your help would be appreciated 🙏

Travel in Italy

Hello,  I’m looking for some advice. My family and I are interrailing for the first time this month. One part of our trip takes us from Levanto to Tirano (to link up with the Bernina Express) on August 23rd. The journey takes a surprisingly long time for the distance (over 8hrs) and one leg (between Colico and Tirano) is by bus. I just wondered if we were missing something, and if perhaps there is an easier and better way to go about this part of our trip, or anyone knew why we have to travel part of the way by bus..? Any and all advice gratefully received!  Many thanks! Tim

reservation in germany

hello, we are leaving in August and are going to cross Germany. I will have to book the train between Hamburg and Copenhagen on August 19. Is it normal that the reservation fees are 3 euros on OBB and 5.20 euros on bahn.fr? Do you think we can take the risk of making these reservations at the station a few days in advance? Do I have to print the reservations or can the control be done on the smartphone? I read a lot that German trains are always late, if you miss a reserved train, what happens? because on August 19 we leave from Berlin Hamburg (non-reservable) then Hamburg Copenhagen. we will also do Copenhagen Amsterdam on August 25th..so passing through Germany. I ask a lot of questions because this is the first time we will travel by interrail. THANKS

Zagreb to Split Overnight Booking

I’ve read a lot about the sleeper train from Zagreb to Split and that it’s not possible to book online. I have emailed the reservation email shared in a different topic thread & will see if they respond. If we make the booking at the Zagreb station will they apply an Interrail discount? I can see couchettes that are available to book online and obviously if Croatian railways don’t recognise the pass then there won’t be a point in waiting till we get to the station. Also - has anyone booked a sleeper car - is there usually availability for these as the carriage map seems to suggest there is only one sleeper carriage anyway. Thanks in advance.

Paris to Geneva

I bought 4 days eurail pass and this is my first trip to Europe. When I am trying to reserve seat from Paris to Geneva, it says around £102 for 2 kids and 2 adults. But if I check other website then tickets are cheaper for same route and same train. What is the benefit of eurail pass if reservation takes more money than normal ticket.

Itinerary and how to book please?

We are hoping to do 6 weeks in Europe May/June 25. For about 7 of those days/nights we want to travel on trains around the Alps. The plan is to start in Munich late May. Train to Attnang-Puchheim (Austria), on to Stainach-Irdning (maybe overnight stop over in Hallstat). Next stop Innsbruck for 2 nights. Then on to Tirano (Italy) and take one night there. Lastly we would train to Chur (Switzerland), and connect 🤞 back to Munich. Our questions are about what pass to buy, given that we are from Australia, and if all those journeys are covered by the one pass? Also, when should we buy the pass, and more importantly, how far ahead can we book and then reserve seats? We are both over 60.Thank you for even reading this. But we have little understanding of how the system works, and are hoping that our plan is achievable! Denis and Darina

Munchen Prague

hello, I wanted to book a reservation from Munich to Prague on August 14, 2024 but on db navigator it is noted "connection cannot be reserved", this means that the train is full? This worries me because it's on all trains for the 14th...otherwise can I see it on other sites?

ENTRONCAMENTO (Portugal) nach PORTO CAMPANHA (Portugal)

Hello Ich frage nochmals wegen dem Ticket von Madrid nach Porto. Ich habe nun auf der Interrail Seite noch eine Verbindung gefunden. Diese lautet: MADRID-ATOCHA CERCANIAS (Spain) (08.50) - BADAJOZ (Spain) (13:34)BADAJOZ (Spain) (14:09) - (ENTRONCAMENTO (Portugal) (15:52)ENTRONCAMENTO (Portugal) (16:33) - PORTO CAMPANHA (Portugal) (18:52) Bei der ersten Verbindung kann ich in der Interrail Website eine Sitzplatzreservierung vornehmen, dies ist kein Problem. Bei der zweiten Verbindung benötige ich laut der Interrail Website keine Sitzplatzreservierung. Meine Frage wäre zur dritten Verbindung (von Entroncamento nach Porto). Hier steht, dass sie Sitzplatzreservierung nicht über Interrail gemacht werden kann. Ich sehe aber, dass dieser Zug von CP betrieben wird. Alle anderen Züge innerhalb von Portugal (CP), z.B. von Porto nach Lissabon oder nach Lagos benötigen keine Sitzplatzreservierung im Voraus. Dort habe ich gehört, dass eine Reservierung am Abreisetag oder einen Tag davor reicht. Rei

How would I go about booking the reservations for this itinerary?

I have went on to Eurail and put in my place of departure and place of arrival, I am not making this trip until next year but I’m checking into times I would want to leave from and arrive at and how I would go about booking it and making reservations for it. ( Really like this one because it is only one change) I have looked at this itinerary all the way from this date until December 13 and everyone of them says sold out for the TGV INOUI train, I have been putting this itinerary in for the last two weeks and it continuously says sold out, I have went to their website and they say not available but I can’t figure out how to do the reservation part that is just trying to get a ticket. Could someone please walk me through the steps of how to get the reservation for this particular itinerary for this train out of Milano P. Garibaldi TGV INOUI SNCF Voyages to Paris Gare De Lyon.

Groningen (Northern Netherlands) to Barcelona

Hi everybody,My name is Adrian, 22 years old, and I just bought an Interrail pass with 5 travel days in one month. I am really excited! I am planning to go to Barcelona (not back and forth) and would love to explore 4 other cities along the way to make sure I make the most of my trip and use up all my travel days. It has proven to be difficult to map out my itinerary though! Initially I was thinking of visiting the following cities: Groningen (starting place) - Zürich/Vienna - Genua - Nice - Bilbao - Barcelona. To go from Nice to Bilbao is very difficult however and takes more than one day.I am sure I will figure it out and find a nice route to Barcelona eventually, but I would be very interested in some suggestions from the community. There is no one city in particular that I must go to except for Barcelona and I am open to all suggestions. In general, I would be interested in larger cities (preferably by the mediterranean/atlantic coast (Portugal)) where I can meet new people and exp

2025 Swiss Timetable

Hello All.  I am wondering if someone can advise when the 2025 Timetable (from 15th December 2024) will be issued and bookings will be available for Swiss trains.I am holidaying in December and wish to book Bernina Express reservations but timetables are not available past 14th December.  The SBB and Rhaetian Railwat websites indicate that consultation on the new timetable completed in June but I can’t find anywhere that says when the new timetable will be issued and when we can book post mid December.

Booked UK trains with Eurail pass on GWR website

Hi,  I have a trip planned for the UK in October, I have my Eurail Pass and recently made some seat reservations in the GWR website for that trip. I was wondering, as they only send me an email with a 8-digit code for the seat reservation, is enough alongside the Eurail Pass to board the train? Or I’m missing some QR code? It was also free so I was wondering if they will charge me in the station or with the Eurail it will be free. Thanks a lot!

Wir wollen nächste Woche endlich reisen und die Global / Mobile Pässe aktivieren. Ich habe eine Frage zur Aktivierung. Dort muss man unter Schritt 3 seine Personalausweis- bzw. Reisepassnummer eingeben. Wir haben unsere Mobile Pässe bereits im Mai gekauft und können uns nicht mehr erinnern, ob beim Kauf die Personalausweis- bzw. Reisepassnummer angegeben werden musste. Meine Freundin hat einen neuen Personalausweis, den sie am Montag bei der Behörde abholen könnte. Dann würden wir die Nummer des neuen Passes eingeben. Andernfalls würde sie mit dem alten Personalausweis reisen, der aber bald abläuft...

Madrid to Lisbon

Hi all,I am supposed to be travelling from Madrid to Lisbon tomorrow, the 27th of July.  I had intended taking the train from Madrid to Badajoz tomorrow morning at 8:50am, then Badajoz to Entroncamento and finally from there to Lisbon. However, I went to the train station in Barcelona today and was told the train from Madrid to Badajoz is fully booked.  Does anyone have any suggestions of any other routes I could take to get there. I have seen the other journeys available that day but there are much longer and mean I won’t arrive in Lisbon until late at night. Any help would be much appreciated!
