Solved

Hi, I have 2 questions; When planning a trip requiring a train change, I notice there is often a very brief amount of time eg: Brugges to Paris via Brussels has 10 mins (or less). The first leg does not require a reservation so, can I catch an earlier train to ensure I have enough time to catch the second one, which DOES required a reservation? If so, how do i do this on the planning function on the app as it defaults to the quickest trip? or doesn’t it really matter as long as I am there in time for the train requiring reservations? We are a group of 6 and would like to sit together if possible. Does this mean 1 person has to make all the bookings? How does than work with the app?Thank you and I apologise if I have been long-winded and unclear.Diane.

Hi, is there any meal included in European sleeper, I bought a couchette ticket.

I have been looking on Rail Europe for trains - and the information is different on this website than on the interrail app. Train from Bruxelles-midi to Koeln Hbf 24th July 2024 16.23 arr 18.15. I am struggling to get a Eurostar seat booking for this. So trains without seat bookings:On the interrail it states you go to Liege-Guillemins with ICE 317 first, and then to AachenHbf and then Koeln Hbfon Rail Europe ICE 317 is a direct train to Koeln Hbf and I do not need a seat reservation.Do you know which is correct??? Very different trains?

Hi all,I wondered if anyone has any information on the construction work that is scheduled to take place in Italy between Villach Hbf and Carnia and which is impacting the Nightjet service (NJ237) from Munich to Venice in July. I’m looking to take this train on Weds 17th July - currently the train is not available for reservation however the previous week can be reserved and shows a message that a “rail replacement bus service” will be in operation (not exactly ideal for a sleeper train...):This message is currently showing for the trains departing on the 10th and 11th July, train from the 12th onwards are not open for reservation and haven’t been for the past 2 weeks.Does anyone know how long this work is expected to last? I contacted OBB through their website about this and have not had a response.cheers,Nick

Can anyone signpost me to instructions on how to use the Rail Europe website or app to make reservations with an Interrail Pass? I’ve tried going through each step of the booking process and cannot see where to enter Interrail pass? Thanks 

I will be coming to Europe in June 2024.  I’m with a group of friends until June 29th.  Then, I am on my own for 3 weeks.  I would like to get a Eurail pass, but I’m confused.  Eurail trains do not take me where I want to go, but other trains do.  Will a Eurail Pass get me on these other trains as well?  Or is there another option for me - to get on all the different trains throughout Europe for 3 weeks? 

Hello! I was thinking about going to Istanbul but the train connection in the east parte of Europe is a bit difficult to understand... I'll be in Budapest and I think that the best way Is to go to Bucarest and from there I saw there is a bus... Do you know if the bus Is included? I don't know how to understand if the bus Is part or not of the ticket. And, to come back, I need to go to Vienna after, do you have suggestions about the way to follow? 

Boa tarde!Gostaria de saber como identifico o ticket para embarcar em percursos dentro da  cidade que estou, por exemplo.Estação Paris gare - Choisy Le RóiPreciso fazer várias vezes esse percurso, além de precisar ir para os pontos turísticos de Paris.Eu não sei onde pego aquele QR Code para andar nos trens, se não há reserva paga. Outra questão é em relação aos dias que seleciono para usar os ticket, por exemplo Eu comprei o passe para 10 dias durante 2 meses. Então só posso usar os trens no dia que eu registrar um dos 10 dias?

My wife and I  have Interrail Global Passes valid for June 2024.  We want to book sleeper or couchette berths on this train but are informed (online) bookings are unobtainable.  At the same time, we learn that this train is very and likely to sell out very quickly. Elsewhere the Booking Horizon is given as 180 days in advance !  How can we secure these reservations?

Hi, me and my partner have ordered our passes, however we didn’t add a pass for our daughter 2years old as it said she was obviously free. We are now trying to do seat reservations and can see we should have added a free Eurail child pass when paying?? Is there anyway to add this on now? Thanks so much. lia 

I am booking a train from Paris to Lyon for June 4th, 2024 and the app and site are telling me that the train is not in network. I don’t understand since I purchased the Eurorail Global Pass.  Does anyone know why km getting this message?   

I purchased 3 Flexi German mobile rail passes 7 days within 1 month on December 9th 2023. I plan to travel starting on March 30th 2024. But on my order confirmation and app shows “Activate this pass by February 1 2024”. I tried to make seat reservation for March 30th, the web page shows my pass is not valid on this date. I am not able to travel with theses passes if the condition is like this. I did not recall I need to enter start and end sate during booking process. The website shows the pass can be used within 11 months from purchased date. Submitted support request but have not heard from the customer service. Anyone knows why this happens? Is there any way I can change this? The passes haven’t being activated yet. Thanks for helping!

Hi everyone, I’m a newbie here, tried to make a seat reservation for our family trip in June; 1/6/24 from Paris to Basel, many options showing “Pass Invalid”, advising me to either book another train or purchase a separate ticket; isn’t Eurail Global Pass including TGV/Lyria with a seat reservation fee?? Or perhaps it is still too early to reserve a seat for TGV, I saw many won’t available until 90 days or 60 days before the travel date, only Eurostar allows reservations 6 months in advance, which I was able to complete it without problems last night. Thanks so much

My wife and I have purchased the Eurail Global Flexi First class pass. And because of the excellent guidance on this forum, I was able to make my reservations on the OBB app, except for two connections, which I was told I need to wait until 60 days before departure to make the reservations (per the agent when I called SBB). So, when the due date arrived (-60 days), I tried to make the reservations and am failing to do so. I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Here are the two journeys I am trying to make:Saturday, 23rd March 2024 morning: Zurich HB to Zermatt. The connection is thru Visp and the first train is an IC train and per the SBB agent, I can make reservations on IC trains, but not on Regional Trains. But, when I try the first segment (InterCity 1304 @7:16AM), and select “Seat Reservation Only”, the SBB app says “Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a reservation for this connection”. I called SBB and the agent was confused as he was seeing the same at his end. He s

Hello everyone quick question. Some of the routes I will be taking involved public transport (bus) from one train station to the other. My question is, if the public transport gets delayed will the next train line will allow you to board the next train? And will this involve a fee?
