Solved

Getting started and i need help. 

I’m a NZ & UK dual citizen currently living in Canada. I did Interrail back in 2013 when I lived in London, and from what I remember I couldn’t use it for train journeys WITHIN the UK, but I flew to Denmark and went via Switzerland to Spain anyway so it didn’t matter.This time I’m planning to fly in/out of London and want to do mostly slow travel to get around - bike/ train/ ferry. I want to take a couple trains within the UK/ Ireland probably and then over to mainland Europe + across to probably Eastern Germany/ Denmark/ Sweden. Does the restriction of travel in your “home nation” still apply? Would it be best for me to get Interrail using my UK passport + sister’s address, or Eurail using my NZ passport + Canadian address?Also, if anyone has done interrail/eurail with a bike please give me tips. The Chatbot said to check the linked schedule for bike options and then linked me to a Deutschbahn page. It also said I need to “buy a separate ticket” for my bike but I don’t remember ev

I'm looking for trains between Basel and Paris in early June.  This shows many changes for this time, but 2 weeks before in mid May is direct. Is this because the timetable hasn't been published yet? 

I am trying to book some private compartments for my hubby and I to travel. I noticed on several sites, they say you can reserve 180 days in advance. But when i go look, that’s only for basic seats. Couchette/private compartments seem to be only available much much closer to the date. Is there some trick around this?I am trying to book various euronight and nightjet trains between vienna > warsaw > prague

new to eurorail here Airport train station is not on eurail planner. I really dont want to get separate ticket to Brussels city station and then go from there. I see on country’s train scheduler that there is a train with no stops that go every hour but it airport train station I s not recognized on eurail siteany help here?  Thanks

 We are looking to book the night train from Paris Austerlitz to Cerbere in April. I know the schedule isn’t released yet and I don’t think you can make bookings, so I’m testing the booking system out for earlier dates in February.So I’m looking at 09 Feb, 20:08, arriving about 10am next day, direct train, for 2 adults and 1 child (2 years old). Using SNCF or Traline I can see that private couchettes are possible for that route, but obviously I don’t want to book on there, I want to book through Eurrail.  When I try and make a seat reservation with Eurail, there is no option for a private cabin upgrade, and also on SNCB there is no option for an upgrade. Does anyone know if there is any option on any website to make an Eurrail booking with private couchette, or do I have to persist with SNCF over the phone? 

I have added a journey to My Trips that comrises 3 trains in one day: Perpignan to Lyon Part Dieu (with the Spanish, AVE service), Lyon PD to Lille Europe (TGV), Lille Europe to London (Eurostar) (all on the same day). I have booked a paid for reservations for the last 2 sections, but found that it’s difficult to book the first one (it’s with AVE Renfe). I don’t want to delete the whole journey because of the 2 bookings I’ve paid for. I found an alternative to the first section, using TGV which is easy to book. Can I add that (Perpignan to Lyon with TGV) to My Trip and use that instead of the Perpignan to Lyon AVE? If I don’t use the Perpignan to Lyon AVE, will the next 2 sections in that ‘journey’ be invalid even though I have the reservations?This is my first Eurail experience. I have a lot to learn!

Trying to reserve seats on Newcastle to Inverness on 12 Apr but no seats available. Seats are available if you  buy a ticket (just not reservation only). Family of 4, should we just chance it with no reservations? I need to go home on this date. . Are they likely to release more seats for reservations for interrail users before the date?

Hello, we have a group of 4 travelling together. We all bought eurail passes and are starting in rome, with the first trip a day trip to Salerno and back same day. I’m confused as to do I book this trip on the web, or in the rail planner app, and how do I confirm to the conductor we have a valid trip. This is also a high speed train so I need to make a reservation also. Thank you very much!!

Can someone just confirm for me…Bought my interrail pass today. If I then add my pass to the inter rail app, does it then start the 2 months I’ve got to make my 10 trips.  Also, do I actually need to book trains, if they don’t have a seat reservation mandatory. Can I just jump in the train and show my interrail pass? I don’t have to book anywhere before hand. I know I can use the Deutsche Bahn app to book just seats when I need to, but I’m guessing I don’t have to do anything other than that, just show up when my trains due, and book a seat if needed?

I may not have the opportunity to activate the promotional ticket I bought until June 1. I do not want my ticket to be cancelled. How do you think I should go about this, should I get the ticket refunded or does anyone have any other advice? Thank you in advance for your interest.

Me and my friend have won the DiscoverEU passes, activated them in the app, but now she doesent want to go and is looking to cancel it. Is it possible to do that? Does she need to contact someone? Ive tried looking for an answer online, but it seems like you cannot cancel it after youve “activated” it?Some other relevant info: we wanted to travel in August 2024.

Hi guys,same question as last year.Anyone already knows how the paper pass cover looks like in 2024?As on last years one was written 2023/24 it might be still the same (Kalambaka)? (hopefully not ^^)Thanks in advance!

I and my team plan to travel europe thru eurail global pass , just wonder if we buy the pass , can we register it as a group and each of us also can monitor the app via each mobile?

This is the first time I am doing Interrail having missed my opportunity in my youth. Now that I have made reservations, etc. should I activate my pass now or nearer the day I travel? (I am travelling around 17 March).

Hi everybody! I’m new to the community and planning my first solo Interrail to the UK this summer. I would like to include a trip with the Riviera Sleeper from London to Penzance in my trip. So far I’m finding it hard to find concrete information about making reservations on this train.My research shows that you can only book from 12 weeks in advance. Does anyone know if this is true? I would hate to miss a reservation by being ‘too late’. Also, it is not clear to me whether you can make that reservation from abroad (I live in Belgium). Has anyone tried this recently? What is the best way? As a millennial with severe phone anxiety, I would prefer to settle this online if possible…And last but not least: can anybody tell me the costs of this reservation? I know a seat is 6 euro, but I would like to know the prices of the cabins to decide whether it’s worth the price. I can’t seem to find a conclusive answer anywhere.So, to summarise: all Riviera Sleeper tips & tricks are welcome!Tha

Hey Guys! Me and my sister are currently travelling europe and we have tickets confirmed through the eurrail app for prague to berlin then berlin to amsterdam. Both of these trips are rather long (between 4-5 hours). On the app it says that seat reservations are optional, and then when I move to the website it says they are recommended but we are unable to book them from there. Considering all that do i need to book seat reservations (if so where do i do this?) or am i okay with just the ticket. We are travelling during the winter so the less busy period but we don’t want to risk not having a seat. 

Hi,i bought an Interrail Global Pass today (10.01.24) and want to start my journey in March 2024. When i try to book my seat it is not possible with my Interrail Global Pass.In my Email i got after buying the Interrail Global Pass it said “nach Datum aktivieren” (english Translation with deepl: “Activate by date”)  : 14.07.2024But there wasnt an option for choosing a date while buying the Interrail Global Pass.When i try to activate the Pass I can only choose between June and July 2024...not March as a startdate...

Hi, we want to take a train from Gare de Lyon to Nice Ville, 6:34AM, 15/01/24. We already have our eurail pass and we have to reserve our seat on this website. However I heard that rail planner app isn`t correct sometimes, so i checked SNCF website that the train is available. But we can`t find that train on SNCF website, although we can find that train on this website. In this case, is that train REALLY EXIST..? I mean if we reserve our seat on eurail website and pay, is there any problem boarding the train unless we can`t find that train on SNCF website? PLEASE HELP.

I reserved a place on Eurail for an OBB Nightjet train but due to strikes my train ticket was cancelled. I ended up paying for a hotel and a flight from Berlin to Paris (my original train went from Berlin to Offenburg, then I reserved a ticket from Offenburg to Paris on TGV, all this was done on Eurail). Where do I submit my applications for a refund to, the ticket that Eurail gave me didn’t have a booking number that was valid on the DB website which I tried to apply for a compensation on. 

Hello Eurail community! I am hoping to find train schedules for June 17-20th from Genoa to Pisa. I have searched for routs and it says there are none. The eurail PDF map shows routs existing all along that cost. Any help to find the schedules for these trains would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
