Solved

I am looking at travelling by train from my home in UK to Portsmouth (UK) to catch a ferry to Spain. The ferry would leave UK  on the evening of the day I set off from home and arrive in Spain the following day.I would then travel in Spain and Portugal on the train using my Interrail pass. My return journey would be the same in reverse. Could I use my Interrail pass for these rail journeys in the UK even though I will be leaving / returning to UK on a ferry, not by train (such as Eurostar) ?Many thanks Bob

I live in the US and am trying to book train reservations from Huela or Seville Spain to Barcelona, then to Nice, then to Portofino then to Rome.  Isnt there a company that can do this for you with a fee for services rendered.  Eurorail is not very straight forward for what I am trying to accomplish.  Thanks.  

Hello Inter/Eurail community,I am posting this from a train that is currently traveling from Vienna to Dortmund. I just found out (purely by chance, as the rail planner app doesn’t show this), that the train I was supposed to take from Stuttgart Hbf to Bruxelles Midi runs only until Köln due to a strike. On the Deutsche Bahn website it says that there will be 4 replacement buses from Köln Hbf to Bruxelles Midi without any stops. Apparently these buses are a service by Univers Reisen but I can not find any information about them, no timetables, ticket costs, anything.I have two questions. Firstly, is this because these replacement buses are only meant for people being affected by this now interrupted connection? Secondly, is my global pass still valid on these replacement buses, and if so how do I add them to my pass since I don’t even know the times (yet).There is an alternative route that requires me to take 4 additional connections, something I would like to avoid if I can.Thanks!

Hi, I understand that I can travel outbound and inbound in my home country. In my case I would have to take a big detour to be able to reach the border of my country by train. Would that be problematic?And would I have to cross the border on the outbound day? Or could I also travel to the border and buy an ordinairy ticket to cross the border the next day? 

I am Dutch but have been living in Spain since 2018. If I want to use the Global Pass in the Netherlands, how do I prove residency in Spain?

Bonjour, j'ai gagné un pass France Allemagne, est ce qu'il est utilisable pour 2 personnes ? Merci 

Est ce que si je prends un pass interrail de 5 jours sur une période d'1 mois je peux activer par exemple le 29 décembre et utiliser les jours restants en janvier ? Je vous remercie 

Hello,I am a parent who bought a flexi pass (10 days within 2 months) for myself (adult pass) + a kid pass + young adult  pass (16).Now, I am wondering, since a young adult is with me and since i’ve got a phone travel passes for each person: is it possible that young adult uses that code separatly on her phone, and do some days of travel on her own. For example if she wants to travel home sooner.   Thank you.Biba SJ

Hallo  Ich will von Polen über Litauen nach Lettland immer in die Hauptstädte. Reise ich besser mit Tickets vor Ort kaufen oder mit Interrail . Gibt bei der BahnCard da Möglichkeiten auf Rabatt? Gruß 

Hello, I have question about the manual reservation for an interrail ticket.I have 7 travel days for one month and some journeys are not shown, so I have to do it manual. And at the end, it is not shown on the map. Furthermore, I do not know which train I need to take because if you make the reservation manual, the app does not show which train you should take. I do not know what I need to do and if the manual ticket would be valid. Did someone has a scandinavian journey with the interrail ticket? If yes, I would be happy to hear about that moreHere is an example for a manual ticket reservation:

Hello!I am unable to book a train from Milan to Tirano on our Global Pass on this site. It is only showing trips of 7 hours via Switzerland with numerous stops. But when I go to Rail Europe, there are direct trains from Milan to Tirano (2.5 hours). Why can’t I see this direct train on the Eurail site?I don’t want to book on Rail Europe and get charged as we have the Global Pass and travelling within Italy should be freePlease adviseTania 

One of my goals in Europe is to ride a Sleeper train. I booked the EN 476 from Budapest to Prague.The lady I booked it with at the train station told me the reservation I made was for a bed (rather than a seat), but I want to verify because there was a language barrier and the reservation was so cheap -- only 10€. For context, I have Eurail first class.Attached a picture of the ticket below. 

Hi everyone,My family (2 adults, 2 children) and I already have Eurail passes but unfortunately I’m not an experienced Eurail traveller, so I apologise in advance if this is a silly question. We have already purchased and activated the Eurail pass for two days of travel earlier in December.We will be travelling from Vienna (Wien) to Prague (Praha) on Saturday 30 December 2023, preferably leaving around 10am. From what I can see, most of the trips listed on that day have “Reservations unavailable”. My question is: can we just go to the train station on the day and use our Eurail passes to book whatever seats are available, or does this mean that there are no seats available on those trains anymore?Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!Kind regards,Rob

Hi, I'm trying to book tgv seat reservations Lyon to Paris in April 2024. I'm getting the error 'Not in Pass Network'. Am I trying to book too early as it is over 4 months away? Thanks in advance!

Avec le Global Pass, j’ai vu qu’il était possible de prendre le train dans son pays 1 fois à l’aller et 1 fois au retour. Cependant, je prévois de faire un tour d’Europe en commençant par Portugal/Espagne puis Italie/Grèce/etc (donc passage en France inévitable). Il y a un trajet Barcelone - Milan (via Lyon) à 25eu, est-il possible de négocier avec Interrail pour obtenir ce prix sans utiliser le “trajet retour” ? Si ce n’est pas possible, puis-je utiliser mon “trajet retour” pour ce voyage et continuer à bénéficier du Pass après ? (Et je m’arrangerais pour le vrai retour en France). Merci pour vos réponses ;)

Hi do you need to buy reservations everything you travel from London St Pancres to Europe and back. And how far in advance can you book. Also if I buy a pass does my membership start when I book my first journey kenny

no problem to find trains from Tropea to Villa San Giovanni and from Messina Maritime to Palermo. But when I try to book a ticket for a passenger on the ferry between Villa San Giovanni to Messina Maritime, I get constantly for all ferries “a  fully booked” reject?? From early in the morning till late in the evening, on working days and during weekends. Can somebody explain to me whether it is necessary to make a reservation on those ferries? Is capacity on those ferries a regular problem? 

I am planning to travel trough Europe with a friend from the 28th of may until the 11th of june. We start from the Netherlands and would like to go to the balkans and back. We did a bit of research and found out that the international trains from and to Belgrado(Beograd) are not riding. But Belgrado is probably our most important stop because we would like to go from Sofia to Belgrado and from Belgrado to Zagreb. Can anyone tell us if this is possible in the period we’re travelling. Or that there is another option to travel from Sofia to Zagreb. We want to avoid going back to Budapest. And if it is possible without spending more money than necessary for night train reservations with our interrail card.

Alguien que haya viajado con gato o gata ? Gracias 💜

It's similar to the address where I live, but it's not completely accurate, so is there a way to revise it again and get the reservation confirmed

I have a trip starting in 10 days.  The guide says try to book trips weeks in advance.  My pass activated starting on travel day.  I keep trying to schedule my trains to get my ticket on app and keep getting “Sorry we don’t have train times for these dates yet -...”.  It seems they only have times for about five days out right now (Germany).  Has anyone else navigated this issue and what did you do?  The recommendation and the capability of the app are at odds.  The app is also very buggy (crap) and there does not appear to be good clear consistent guidance and no support.I don’t mind doing it at at station while traveling but I’m hearting the trains are really full this year and if i dont get a reservation early i may not have a seat.  traveling with 4 people through 3 countries (Germany, Austria and Czech Republic) between Dec 12 and Jan 1 with 4 people.  Have Global ticket 1st class 5 days.
