Hello,I was wondering how to pay when hopping on a local bus at Grindelwald. Switzweland;  are credit cards now accepted, or do we just pay in cash?.  Also, are there day, local bus passes available for sale in the Grindelwald area, or are bus trips paid for individually?  Thank youbodetteplant

CAN YOU DOUBLE BACK OR RETURN TO CITY OF DEPARTURE

Folks have a bit of a dilemma and , finding no real info , so I'm hoping someone can tell me..... We are Irish Citizens ,So not the Own country rule....So We have interrail passes , now let's say We go from Florence to Rome and need to return to Florence that evening....so a day trip, then the next day , let's say go from Florence to Venice ,and return back that evening.....With Florence as a possible base.....is this allowed or classified as commuting, even tho not actually commuting....??? I have seen posts online, where people were Told by train conductor this was not allowed and invalid as can't do return.....the posts seem to be a good few years old , Now I was thinking, Maybe book as singles , so using examples above, but making individual seat reservations for outbound and inbound....I hope I'm making Sense....OR DO WE NEED TO WORK IN A LOOP FORMAT, Only using any given city once , which tbh will be a logisical nightmare.....not ness those actual destinations, just using as an e

Narvik to Stockholm - Reservations

Hi. It still doesn’t appear to be possible to book seat reservations on the Narvik to Stockholm service. Have spoken to info office at Oslo and Bergen and they still have no clue when bookings will be possible. Does anyone have any further info they can provide. Bit worried there will be a stampede for bookings when available. We are hoping to travel from Narvik to Umea on Sunday 6th July. Any update would be much appreciated . Thanks

Pass Expired Showing on Show Ticket Page of Rail Planner

Hi, I have a 10 day in 2 months flexipass 29th May to 28th July 2024. I have used 5 days and have returned home intending to use the other 5 travel days before 28th July. I note that when showing ticket on the App it says “This ticket is expired”. How can this be? My partner’s ticket has the same thing. We have both been online on our phones regularly so that shouldn’t be the problem. We need to know whether this will right itself when we intend using our remaining 5 days. Can you help?

Seat reservation Oslo - Göteborg - Kopenhagen

Hi! So my girlfriend and I are this summer traveling to the north of Europe. Therefore we have to get on the trains from Oslo to Göteborg (with train from vy) and Göteborg to Kopenhagen (with train from öresundstrag). Now my question is, if anybody has experience with a seat reservation for those trains and generally up there? I have already tried to book seats on every homepage, also on Entur.com but it is not possible. I also called them, but they said that is should be possible. Is there any solution for this problem? Our fear is, that the trains are full and that we do not get the next trains then. Are the trains in summer full up there or can we be relaxed because we will get seats anyways? Thank you very much in advance for your answers and help! Yours, Samuel

Spiez to Milan direct train cannot be found

Hi I have been looking for the direct train from Spiez to Milan for late July date. Was looking at train availability for a few weeks and noticed direct trains (2h38min) are only available up to Jun 8 and it seems that no direct trains are added after that date despite daily checking. Any change such that there’s no more direct trains ?

2 trains in 1 day

hello all  We are flying into FCO from Toronto in September and supposed to land at 1215hrs. We plan to travel onward to Florence the same day. We have Eurail Global Pass, 1st class.I see there is 1 train from FCO to Florence Santa Marai Novella leaving at 1353hrs. Not sure that we will be able to make that train. flight delay, customs, baggage. So we can take the Leonardo Express to Rome Termini. And then from Rome Termini to Florence. if I book FCO to Florence, there is only 15-minute change time. That makes me nervous, so I would like to book separately trains from FCO to Rome and then Rome to Florence. Never booked 2 separate trains on 1 day, so I am looking for assistance. i know that it should still be considered 1 travel day.

Information about trains with“seat reservation not required”

Hi everybody! I’m traveling with my girlfriend this August and we are planning to visit France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy. We already have a detailed day schedule for each train we need to take (20 day trip) and our option is the global pass for 10 day flexible. Reading about the Interrail global pass, we understand that for train requering seat reservation we have to pay a fee and we are totally aware and clear, but we are a little confused about the trains that don’t require reservation. After we buy the global pass, is it possible to reserve or book seats for trains with “seat reservation not required” to ensure the travel for date and hour that we need? I have searched for details about this but it´s not clear; it says that with the global pass we can get in to the train, but what happen if the train is sold out or full? Our concern is that if we miss a train will affect the rest of our schedule for that day, so that´s why we would like to previous book our trains

Where can I reserve seats for the replacement busses in italy?

Hi.On the 28th of August me and my girlfriend are travelling from Lyon to Bologna. We wanted to take the train to domodossala, we then wanted to take the replacement bus EC057 to Milan and then the train to Bologna. When I looked online only on trenitalia I could book a ticket for 13 euros, but I could not select the interrail pass. Should I just pay for the ticket or is there another way to get a reservation for the bus?Greetings,Per

Bernina Express

Hi Eurail Angels: I’m doing research for future (no date set yet) travel on the Bernina Express. Travel direction not decided yet. I know it’s either Tirano to Chur or Chur to Tirano. Question 1: I read on Seat61 page that you can try to book cheaper, legitimate ticket on German Railways (Deutsche Bahn) site. I wanted to know if I buy such ticket, do I still need a seat reservatoin?I understand that if I want to sit in the seats in the Allegra unit (that’s hauling the Bernina Express) then I don’t need seat reservation. Question 2: If I want to purchase seats in the Allegra unit (as mentioned above), do I use https://www.sbb.ch/ to make the purchse? How can I tell it’s part of the Bernina Express? Do I just pay attention to PE950 or 952 (summer Tirano to Chur) & PE 951 or 955 (summer Chur to Tirano). And of course ignore the seat reservation part as I’ll be sitting in the first-come first serve Allegra part of the Bernina Express train.  Question 3: If I want to take regional train

24 validity when travelling east?

I’m travelling from London to Sweden, leaving at 6am, arriving Copenhagen just before midnight. I need to continue to Sweden, train leaves after midnight so I have bought a separate ticket for that but it just struck me that it’s less than 24 hours after the day started. But presumably that’s just tough luck when you travel east - whereas if you travel to England (for example) you get an extra hour, until midnight GMT?

Seat reservations, Narbonne-Barcelona

Hi -I want to reserve seats on AVE 9730 from Narbonne to Barcelona on Feb 21 (dep 10:39). The Interail reservation service shows a price of €12 2nd class - but also says it can’t process that reservation. The only “other” option offered seems to be in person at a station in *Spain*! I will not be in Spain between now and then, so that won't work. In there any other way? Does the SNCF phone service allow booking interrail seat reservations for AVE services? (The journey does start in France...) Or might I be able to do it to at a station in France? My fallback option is to just book a full-price ticket, currently available via Renfe online - c. €40. I'm assuming it would be a bad idea to delay to try for interrail seat reservations at the ticket office in Narbonne on my day of travel?Thanks for any help!Barry

UK Border?

Had to come back early to UK so used up my outbound/inbound days. Still have 5 travel days remaining before end of July and wondered whether the UK/France border begins at London St Pancras International when you pass through French passport control there. If so, can you travel using a normal travel day even though technically you are still in the UK until the tunnel & not require an outbound day?

I got charged €50 for switching on my pass late, the conductor said it’s in the contract. Is it? I’m utterly disappointed

Got charged €50 for a late activation when I had everything including reservation with me. I want to know if there is a policy like this. And if anyone could send the pdf that mentions so. Would be grateful!
