We are travelling from London to Dublin this summer and want to arrive in Dublin on the same day. It's still a few months away, but I'm finding it quite hard to figure out the best schedule. If I understand correctly, there are direct trains from London to Holyhead, but they don't seem to be running in August. Also, how long does it take to get from the train station to the ferry?Any advice on how to best handle this would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone. The interrail.eu website keeps telling me that tickets are open for sale 90 or 150 days prior to departure. But this morning i got up at 6:45 to purchase a ticket on the 27th of july and it was already sold out. Do the tickets for a day have a specific time they open for sale, or do you know of a website where one could purchase them prior to when they open for sale on interrail.eu? Help would be much aprreciated:)

My first Interrail is next month. The first day involves a train in France. I can see it in the ‘My Trip’ section of the RailPlanner app, but it says “seat reservations required”.Fine, except that I think that I have booked some. My credit card has the right amount (€12) for a date last month to what looks to be the right place.So where should I find it? 

Bahn.com, B-europe.com, and Eurostar themselves show a train from London to Brussels on 14 March at 07:04 - but when I try to book it on the Interrail reservations page, it seems to have vanished?!  [Yes I checked a few minutes before on B-Europe that Interrail passholder fares *were* available].Any ideas? I want to book with the Interrail website as they seem to have the cheapest fees, E2 per trip.Thanks.

I just spotted a posting which has somewhat alarmed me.  It was referring to new restrictions that had come into place at Tirano if travelling toward St Moritz and Chur.  It would appear that there was a very long queuing system in place for people without seat reservations resulting in people not catching their planned train.Admittedly we will not be travelling on this line until September, and it is not clear whether or not this was just a temporary arrangement.  Even so, we have very little flexibility in our journey plans and so don’t want to take any risks.  (Our intention is to take the 9.41 from Tirano to St Moritz and then the 12.47 from St Moritz to Chur.)My question is how do I go about buying seat reservations for these trains.  I went onto Rail Europe to see how to book seat reservations.  (Not for our actual trips - as these are not yet available, but for comparable journeys in May).  However because reservations are optional all it said was ‘FREE’ and I could not see a wa

Good day,I have (iPhone) passes for me and my wife. We are planning a trip from UK throughout France, Switzerland into Italy in May. I have most of our train reservations in place (Glacier Express and Bernini Express not available in I/R site. Can I just use prints of the seat reservation “tickets” I have received via email? Or how do I add these journeys onto my pass? Also we are still waiting for two services in Italy to come on to the schedule, can I just board th4ese trains by showing our IR passes on our phone.It is all very confusing.Thanks for your help

Hi there, Im travelling with my friend this summer and we are keen to do some hikes across Europe. We are interested in Triglav and the Dolomites but are open to other suggestions for healthy, young but begginer hikers. We are travelling in late August time, and plan to spend around 1-2 weeks travelling.  We are wanting to make the most of the interatil ticket but dont want to not take everything in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 

I need to submit a receipt to the company. I need to specify the payee and the purpose. I don't know how to do it.

hi, I am looking to get the Pass Plus 5 day for a trip in August from Wales > Paris, Paris > Florence, Florence Zurich then Zurich .> Wales. four people, 2 adults, 12yo and 8 yo. The pass+ says that it includes three reservations.  is this three in total or three per person? It is not clear to me.  I would otherwise buy a four day pass. Also, if I bought the pass now, so that I could benefit from Eurostar booking, would it be usable when booking for currently unavailable trains that appear to be released around two months (late June) before travelling? I’m confused about what happens if the train is canceled and have to get a different one?Thanks 

I am a first-time Interrailer; started by planning my journey via Trainline and similar non-Interrail sites, calculated the point-to-point prices and concluded that an Interrail pass would be worthwhile. I then bought some reservations and only later tried to use the planner to produce a nice tidy itinerary for my journey. I am confused on two fronts:The first stage of my journey is from home in Derbyshire to London and it tried to send me via the continent - a journey of over 24 hours! Doesn’t matter how many moons I choose (I assume these are nights away for the whole trip?), it won’t take me straight to London. When I tried to delete the journey and start again it told me to delete the travellers too. But I’ve already paid for reservations for them and don’t want to do anything that might compromise these vital documents. Can I safely delete existing travellers, given that the reservations don’t seem to be explicitly linked to any rail passes at this stage? 

We have a 15 days in 2 months pass, and the My Trip section is beginning to fill up. Making it a bit cumbersome to scroll down to the next active travel day. I started deleting the journeys taken in the past, but noticed that they then also disappear from the past tickets. So I ended up adding them back again as I don’t know if they are relevant and must stay in the app. I had assumed that the travel in the past is locked and cannot be removed from the tickets. Therefore my question: can I safely remove them from My Trip, just to make this section less cluttered? Or do I have to keep them all in? The FAQs have nothing on this topic.

Hi, I just want to check how this works.  Am I right to think I can use one day of the pass at any time during the travel day validity period of the pass to travel within my country of residence and another day at any time during the travel day validity period of the pass and that would cover any number of train journeys?  For example with a 10 days in 2 months pass I may fly from London Gatwick to perhaps Sicily, spend 4 travel days making my way to Paris, then board a Eurostar to London St Pancras and take a Thameslink train from St Pancras to return to London Gatwick and the travel from Paris to London Gatwick (day 5 of the pass) would be one of my days for travel in my home country.  Then later in the 2 month period I could take a train from London Gatwick to St Pancras, change to Kings Cross, take a train to Edinburgh, change for a train to Aberdeen all in one day (day 6 of the pass) where I catch a flight to Oslo.  From Oslo I take train travel for 4 days (utilising my 10 days of

Hello, we are travelling in May and June without a return date which we intend to decide en route but probably the last week in June. Does anyone know if it is difficult to find a Eurostar reservation around this time with just 2 weeks notice. Thanks in anticipation. Gip

Quick question about the Eurail/Interrail 7 days in 1 month pass:Are travel days counted as calendar days (00:00–23:59), or 24 hours from activation?If I travel overnight from Berlin to Paris (depart March 2 night, arrive March 3 morning), does that use 1 travel day or 2?Does it change if there’s a train transfer after midnight? For example I board a train at Berlin at March 2 night and then there is a transfer at 06:00am from mannheim on March 3, then how many days it will consider.Thanks!

Hi! I have an interrail card via DiscoverEU/erasmus.  I booked a train ticket from Bruxelles-Midi to London St Pancras Intl for Tuesday, 16 June 2026 at 20:21-21:57. I reserved a seat with one of my free seat reservation credits. I got an email with my order confirmation and receipt, however I cannot open the PDF with the actual seat reservation QR Code/ticket. It just says that an error has occurred. I was wondering if there were anyway for me to fix this problem or get a new pdf? My order number is R2026101291

Hey everybody!I am currently planning my first interrail-adventure.The Plan: Starting off in germany I intend to travel to Bari and take the ferry to Patras from there. After some days in Athina I want to travel up to Thessaloniki and beyond to start my Balkan Tour. However, since there is no international trains running (atleast until next year) I need to cross the border in another way. I am trying to spend the fewest money possible. I have seen that theoretically there should be a train from thessaloniki to Alexandroupoli or Ormenio. From Ormenio I would try to cross the border to slivengrad and take a train to sofia from there. Does anyone have Advice on the best ways to cross the border there? Is there perhaps a crossborder bus? Can one walk? Just hitchhike? Or is another border crossing easier? Afterwards my plan is to travel to the Black sea, then to Bucuresti, Brasov, Beograd and Budapest. Any other general advice on this is highly appreciated :) 

Hi! We are trying to reserve seats in May from Prague to Munich and are seeing that resverving seats is optional however are being given this message additionally: “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” Does this mean the train is sold out? We are quite confused. Is there another way we could still reserve seats or will we be okay without a reservation?

How do I add tickets/seat reservations made by my husband to my account

I’m travelling from Brussels to Berlin in June. The Brussels to Frankfurt leg is bookable now, but the Frankfurt to Berlin leg isn’t bookable until 60 days prior to departure. Can I book the first leg now and come back later to reserve the second leg?

I'm planning a night train journey soon and have a question regarding the Interrail mobile app's behavior. I'm hoping some experienced travelers can help me out!My journey details are: Departure from Budapest-Keleti (19:10 on July 8th) and arrival at Dresden Hbf (05:53 on July 9th).From what I understood, for direct overnight trains, only one day should be marked as a travel day. However, the mobile app has marked both July 8th AND July 9th as travel days for this specific journey.I've attached two screenshots.  The first one shows the full journey preview, and the second highlights a potential change point at Břeclav (though the train number seems to continue as EN 40476).Is this normal behavior? Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why the app might do this? Do I really need to use two travel days, or could this be an app glitch? I plan to contact Interrail support, but wanted to get some community insights first.Thanks in advance for your help!  

Buongiorno a tutti, per i miei 40 anni vorrei regalarmi ciò che non ho fatto a 20 anni e cioè un viaggio in treno.A tutta la famiglia, soprattutto al bambino (9 anni) piace tantissimo viaggiare in treno e vorrei unire, viaggio in treno, nord europa e 40 anni.L’idea è arrivare al circolo, appunto a Rovaniemi per andare a trovare Babbo Natale, partendo in treno dall’italia e sfruttando i treni notte.Qualcuno l’ha fatto? vorrei capire i costi extra per ogni treno, naturalmente con il bambino dovro optare per una cuccetta o vagone letto. Dove posso trovare le informazoni sui sovrapprezzi e i treni inclusi?GrazieValeria

I asked the following question of AI.  However I thought it would be wise to get some human input before proceeding!Basically my wife and I traveled from Lille to St Pancras in January on Eurostar and were subject to a   delay which meant we were able to claim e-vouchers by way of compensation.   I shall shortly be purchasing Interrail passes for the two of us for travel in September, with the first leg being on Eurostar from London to Paris.  So my question is - can I use our e-vouchers to part pay for our seat reservations?The answer I got back from AI was - yes.  However this could only be done through Eurostar itself and over the phone.   It also advised that normally there would be a £12 booking fee.  However since there was no other way of making this booking that I should request that this booking fee be waived.   Would you agree with this?  Anything else that you think I should take into account before moving forward on this? Thanks in anticipation.Peter

I’m traveling from Geneva to Bern on May 11, 2026 using my Global Eurail Pass. I would like to take the scenic route on the Golden Pass Express from Montreux to Spiez. Is the Global Eurail Pass still valid on all Golden Pass Express routes during 2026? Are seat reservations required or optional? Is there a chance that the train will be full if I do not reserve a seat? When I query a route from Montreux to Spiez via Zweisimmen, the Panoramic Express portions of the trip all note “Seat recommended.” Presumably this means seat reservations are optional. There is also a note that indicates that “Reservation fees vary based on the route,” but I’m not sure what this means. Any clarification would be appreciated.
