Good morning,I have just purchased 2 x 15 day Eurail passes.  I have added them to my phone, but not activated them.  When I checked my first journey, there was not tick box or slide to add the journey to the pass. Will this become available Once I have activated the pass? And secondly, I not due to travel for a month, can I activate my pass to test, then deactivate it?Thanks. Adam  

Hello! I’m new here and have a few questions on how this eurail works. 😅We’re flying into Lisbon and traveling to Lagos and then Porto and then over to Barcelona. We have to get the global eurail pass since we’re traveling between two countries, correct? How do we choose the ‘high speed train’ or ‘AVE’ in order to shorten our travel time? We essentially need to choose enough travel days for our pass in order to cover every day we take the train, correct? The days we use the train twice in one day will only count as 1 travel day. And the days we stay put and don’t use a train, we won’t need a travel day for? Thank you so much for you help!!! 

Dear travelers,  After a good experience last year me and my family will be travelling by train (interrail) again this year. We plan to travel from Utrecht to Wien by Nightjet 40421 on the 7th of juli. I want to book a couchette for 4 persons in the Nightjet, but somehow I also have to pay 39,60 euro for Sparscheine Komfort. If I remember correctly I didn't have to pay that last year, just the reservation for the couchette and the extra amount for 4 persons. Does anyone here know why that is? Because of the Euro 2024? Thanks in advance for information!

Hi, just wanted to check if anyone here has used the Eurail pass to travel from Edinburgh - Frankfurt/Mannheim I am considering between 3 optionsOption 1:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 24min transfer & check in)1104 - 1405 London - Brussels1425 - 1740 Brussels - Frankfurt Option 2:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1555 - 1826 Paris to Karlsruhe1826 - 1958 Karlsruhe to Frankfurt Option 3:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1709 - 2059 Paris - Frankfurt There will be extra seat reservations if I travel via Paris. I am keen to travel via Brussels, but am afraid of the “short’ transfer time given that I am travelling out of UK (security and customs check). I’m also quite afraid that the ICE train at Brussels would be delayed/cancelled as it seems quite common upon checking the train history. What do you think? Which option would you choose? Let me know!   

Any intrepid travellers done this section to get From Slovakia to Poland “Not In Network” why is this short stretch not valid on the pass Thanks From Skalite to Zwardon

Hi there! I’m from Argentina. I just got a pass for 5 days in may. I’m starting from Switzerland and need to travel to Ghent Belgium afterwards. I tried googling and searching but couldn’t find out what is the best way to get there. Is Google Maps public transport mode reliable? Because it tells me to do like 5 combinations, is there no direct way from one country to another?Besides this case, how can I know, for each city, which trains and destinations are available?Also, if I understand well, the pass doesn’t guarantee any seats, right? So if I don’t reserve seats and the train is full I lose it or travel standing up?Sorry I am really lost, if anyone could point me to some useful articles I would be really grateful. 

Hello, i accidently put the wrong gender on my son’s pass.I choose “Ms.” instead of “Mr.” so, it stated his gender is female.Would it be a problem for the trips?

Hi.I have never travelled on a Eurail pass before.When I am in the process of changing trains and following my itinerary, (e.g. I only have 20 minutes between alighting the first train and then boarding the second train), where I am changing trains at a large railway station with lots of platforms. How will I know which platform to board my second train? Will the platform number be mentioned on my itinerary? Are the platform numbers of soon departing trains mentioned on all of the platforms where people are alighting? It is very important for me to know, especially if I have a seat booking on the second or third train.Please give me some ideas.

Hi. I’m new to trains. I purchased a 15 day pass and booked a train on Eurostar from France to Rotterdam. My email is telling me to bring a reduction card. I don’t have one and can’t get one where I’m living (Central America). I thought I could just use the app but not sure what to do. I have the barcode for the Eurostar but not sure how to get it onto my Eurail app. I am traveling to Europe in May.Thank you for any help in this matter. •  2 x Adult with fare RailPass Standard+ Eurail 1st classPlease make sure you have your reduction card with you during your journey.

If seat reservations are optional and we choose to not reserve a seat (we have a 1st class Global pass), how do we know where to sit ie. what seats have been reserved and what seats are vacant (not reserved). Just wondering about this and know that the Community can assist. 

Hello everyone,I am currently travelling, trying to make my way down from zagreb to split. i have my eurail pass already, so im looking to only book the seat reservation. when i attempt to do so online, eurail website states my only way is though a paper ticket. since i’m not home, it’s impossible for me to receive a paper ticket, so an eticket is my only option. the same issue also arises when attempting to get from gyoer to zagreb. is there a way around this? thanks!

I want yo make s reservation for the Eurostar Brussels to London. Going through the process I suddenly get charged €4 extra for a mobile ticket which I don't want. Is there a trick around this.

Hi :) The railway map on the Interrail website only has a few routes from different cities- is this map showing the only routes or is it more of a base for other journeys? Could I for example take the train from Bath to Bristol using the Interrail Pass? 

Hi there,I am senior British person, living in the UK and will be traveling with my niece from Brazil, who is 22. As I am the one making the purchasing (and paying) for both tickets, I would like to know the following:1 - Can I put both Apps & tickets on my phone, or does she have to buy it herself? I understand it’s not possible to transfer the tickets from one mobile to another.2 - We are planning to travel from Nottingham to Paris, my understanding is that I can start my trip from the UK, but what about her? If we activate her pass in the UK, would it count as “travel day”?3 - Do you have any tips for two people in our situation to make the most of our trip without much worries?Many thanks,😉   

Hi, what are the best websites to find train connections in these 3 countries?regardsviking

Hello everyoneI plan to travel from Bern to London via Paris on June 9th. I’ve already made the booking for the 15.12 Eurostar service from Paris to London.Now I found this interesting connection from Bern but I’m a bit worried about the transfer time of only 9 minutes:RE 18122 Bern 06.23 → Frasne 08.06TGV 9264 Frasne 08.15 → Paris G.d.Lyon 11.08Has anyone any experience with this connection? Is the connection guaranteed? My alternative would be travelling via Basel and Strassbourg as trains are more frequent on that route. But the transfer time in Strassbourg is also not too long.Which route would you prefer? I only want to catch the Eurostar in Paris.Thanks in advance for your help. 

Hi , Myself and family are trying to book seat reservations from Basel to Zurich early April.Our train is midweek at lunchtime, an IC service. The SBB website states that reservations are not possible.Given the journey is just under 1 hour, I presume given this is such a frequent service that reservations are not required.Thx in advance.
