Local trains in Spain

I am planning a full circular tour of Spain in September and am finding it very difficult to get any mention of local trains - i.e. those without the need for a reservation. Basically I am talking about travel between the main cities along the Mediterranean as a start.Some of these journeys require two or even sometimes three trains each with a reservation! Is there a way around this, or was I too optimistic (or naive 😯)?  Is the answer perhaps to travel between smaller towns?Edit: Perhaps I should ask how much reservations cost in Spain and how much in advance they need to be bought (from a station en route).

Beneluxpas

Ik schaf binnenkort de beneluxpas aan, maar ik begrijp dat je met een Nederlands paspoort daarmee niet in Nederland mag reizen. Ik moet dan een kaartje kopen voor het Nederlandse deel tot (volgens mij) het eerste station in Belgie. Iemand daar ervaring mee? En waar koop je zo'n kaartje? I probeerde al een kaartje te kopen bij NS Internationaal vanaf een station in Nederland tot Essen (het eerste station in Belgie), maar dat lukt niet.

work around "not available in network "

I'm trying to book Syracuse/ Bologna via Milan on 23rd October.  10.25 ICN. The screen offers the journey in segments, each requiring seat reservations.  I selected each in turn..selected Book...but it circled back to entry screen.  RailEurope shows (limited 1st class) availability which is why we wanted to book

Blue Star Ferries with Globalpass

We have booked two ferries within Greek islands, we have global passes. On blue star ferries there was no problem booking, and our ferry tickets say ‘global pass discount’ on them. However, on the app I cannot add the journeys to my pass, because it says the routes are for Greek Island Pass holders only.  Will I be able to get on the ferry? Do they tend to check interrail passes when checking in?

2 trips, one pass

I seem to have created 2 trips. One I’ve added no journeys to but it has 2 blank used travel days. The other I’ve added all my journey plans to and it allows me to toggle between using a travel day and not on it but I think it’s not connected to my pass. I can’t see how to delete a trip created - app keeps offering the option of adding a journey to a new trip but I’m avoiding that particular trap now. Help?Thanks so much Nóirín

Other Website for Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel Reservation

Trying to book Paris - Bern, I needed to book Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel reservation. However, the eurail site didn’t worked at all according to error “being not able to press ‘continue to traveler details’ button”. i’ve tried to find alternative website from  to reserve Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel, but there was no website that can reserve it.(Only domestic lines were able to book at “travel.b-europe website for national rides in France”) Is there any alternative website that can book international rail Paris to Basel?

Interrail “5 days within 1 month pass” vs. individual train ticket purchases

Hi All,I am planning a circular route around central Europe staying around 2 days at 7 cities.Planned route is as follows:Prague (2 nights) -> Berlin (2 nights) -> Amsterdam (2 nights) -> Brussels (2 nights) ->Paris (2 nights) -> Zurich (2 nights) -> Munich (2 nights) -> Vienna (1 night) -> London (Home)There was a sale last week, so I bought 2 Eurostar tickets between Amsterdam -> Brussels -> Paris.For the remaining “5 travel days”, I am thinking of getting an Interrail “5 days within 1 month pass”.I’ve just checked a train ticket from Paris to Zurich (direct), on 14th August, second class departing from Gare De Lyon for 2 people, and the train fare is €262.Interrail “5 day pass” cost is around €100 per person for each travel day, so I should benefit from the Interrail pass when I travel from Paris to Zurich. Do you think it makes sense?If not, how would you plan the second part of the trip after Paris,  e.g. Paris (2 nights) -> Zurich (2 nights) ->

SJ night train Stockholm - Narvik, 1 one country pass or 2 one country passes?

Hi everyone,I’m currently looking into the SJ night train from Stockholm to Narvik. The rail planner shows me to get a one country pass, but I will cross borders as the train travels from Sweden to Norway. Is this valid or should I look into getting two passes (1 Sweden, 1 Norway)?Thanks a lot!

Itinerary Sept 10-Oct 3

We are active, in our 50s, and know this is a bit of a marathon but looking to see some of each country to then plan future trips back on ones we liked best or traveled through that piqued our interest.Does this route make most sense or what would be best to be switched and where would night trains make the most sense travel from Sept 10-Oct 3looking to go from-to the following cities in the current order London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Venice Rome, Cinque Terre, Nice, Lucerne, Paris then back to London.  Brussels and Venice were just parital day stop overs.Hoping to use fast trains as much as possible was thinking we need the 22 days pass to make this make the most sense .  Also if going from London to Brussels Sept 12 how soon do we need to book the Eurostar reservation or does it change much if we go straight to Amsterdam?  Was planning to book hotel at next stop day in advance--not looking fancy-- just clean and budget friendly--hoping this is viable at most ne

where do I find the ultimate truth whether a reservation is required or just optional?

Hi all, We'll be venturing to Denmark and Sweden this summer and this is new territory to me when it comes to operator pass validity and the reservations. I am doing the planning mostly with bahn.de as they include everything, however the information about reservations being required is conflicting with the information on interrail's own planner (which I prefer not to use for planning as I know it can be outdated).So my question is: where do I find the ultimate truth whether a reservation is required or just optional?I can make reservations on SJ.se and the cost of 35 SEK which is of course not a a great sum, however their English-version website is not clear about whether the reservation is optional. I prefer not to fix ourselves beforehand (our freedom-lesson from earlier trips) and therefore take trains without compulsory reservation. Here is an example of contradictory information for a particular journey we want to make on 5 August:10:23 ODENSE (Denmark) EC 1198interrail planner s

Seeking Advice for Planning a Scandinavian Road Trip: Routes, Stops, and Timing

I would like to take this trip next year.I am just starting to plan and would like to know if anyone has already taken this trip from Germany.- Which route did you take? Through Norway or Sweden? I read that Norway is more beautiful and less complicated, is that true?- How long does it last? I mean, which cities did you stop in for 1 or 2 days?- How long does the Pass last? I have free time and can travel for up to 2 months, but the number of stops is the main factor in deciding which pass to buy!!!! because on the way back I wanted to visit Lappland and Helsinki.!!!- I am thinking of going between April/May or May/June. Is it still too cold?Thanks in advance, I am open to any itinerary and tips.Roberto

El Chorro Timetable October 2024 and which trains are for interrail passes

I want to go to El Chorro during the first week of October. No timetable appears on the Interail planning app yet. I can see times on trainline and raileurope but I can't tell if any train will allow interrail passes. From Malaga the ticket only seems to be £3.93 so not worried about having to pay extra, although whether this includes a seat reservation, I don't know. (Seat reservations for every single train journey in Spain is really racking up the costs on top of the pass 😢).Can anyone help please? Not knowing is preventing me from planning ahead.Many thanks in anticipation. Jill

Seat reservation after change of train departure time.

Hello,I'm about to go on my first trip to Europe with an interrail pass. Before I even set off, the first problem has already appeared.I booked a seat on the TGV from Munich to Paris for Wednesday the 21st. Booked on raileurope.com The train was supposed to leave at 8:35, so that's what I have on my reservation, but I got an email from SNCF saying that the departure time had been changed to 8:20 and that the ticket would be automatically updated.If I have a seat reservation where the departure time is 8:35, will that reservation still be valid after the change in departure time, or do I have to re-book the seat for the new time?A minor problem is that I can no longer book seats on that 8:20 train online via raileurope.What can I do now? Anyone can help me?

Route from UK to Copenhagen and Stockholm + Sleeper advice

Hi allPlanning to be back on the rails for a two week trip around the end of August, so thought I’d see if anyone has any hot tips/suggestions. Family of four.We want to cover Copenhagen and Stockholm, and are thinking of adding Oslo to the mix if it’s worth it. Also want to do the Hamburg <> Stockholm sleeper (private couchette)No set dates as yet, and fairly flexible through AugustInitial thoughts are:London > BrusselsBrussels > Stockholm (via Hamburg and sleeper)Stockholm > CopenhagenThen back to London via Brussels (or maybe Amsterdam)or opposite way round: Brussels > Copenhagen > Stockholm > Brussels (via sleeper and Hamburg) Initial investigations suggest the sleeper is not yet up for booking. I also haven’t yet decided on whether to go interrail pass or not, but I suspect in order to get the Eurostar reservations I’ll need to decide this sooner than the sleeper booking opens up so may not really be able to price up properly. Assume the sleeper pricing is
