I have a Eurail Global Pass and I’m trying to go from Barcelona to Paris on 8 August. The Rail Planner won’t let me reserve a ticket, but it says that ticket reservation is mandatory. I talked to every person I could at the Barcelona Sants station and they all said they wouldn’t deal with international trips. None of the websites I can find work either. I’ve been struggling with this all day trying every option I can. 

Hi, we are a group of 6 ladies (50+) planning our European adventure and trying to decipher the rail ticketing system.Our itinerary is Amsterdam - Bruges - Paris - Strasbourg - Chur (Bernini Express) - Milan (via Tirano) - Venice.We will have a set itinerary.Looking at April/May 2024.I am so confused by all I have read with the pro’s & cons of Eurail passes versus individual tickets.Some of our concerns are limited reservations available, difficulty in booking, getting seats together etcAny advice would be gratefully received.Thank you in advance.

Newbie here: My husband and I are travelling to Europe May 2024. We think we need a 4 or 5 day global pass for our plans but would love some feedback and direction on the best way to manage the trains as we have never before had a holiday that included trains. We need to leave Lisbon by train on the 21/5/2024 to get to to Sarlat de Caneda in France by 24/5/2024.  Hoping that's possible because I can't see any other option except to go via Madrid.  We are 74 and 75 years old and would like to travel first class and a sleeper if there is one. We are initially travelling from Australia. We really will appreciate any help you can give us.

Hey all! I am (desperately) trying to get a seat reservation for a night train from Hamburg Hbf to Lund C tonight at 23:57, but it seems that the train is fully booked. Are there any possibilities of boarding despite this, can I get some “emergency seats” or even stand in a corner somewhere without risking a fine? I can’t get a hold of customer service at the station either. Thank you in advance, any tips are appreciated!  

Is there any way I can get a refund for the unused days.  I am already back in the US.

Ciao a tutti!sto per fare il mio primo interrail con un global pass, ho riservato dei posti (comprandoli direttamente in stazione a Roma) per un notturno da BOLOGNA A MONACO DI BAVIERA diretto, con partenza alle 23:45 e arrivo a Monaco alle 9:20.Se vado sull’App di Eurail però non mi da questo treno, mi da solo un treno che va Bologna - Villach con un cambio Villach - Monaco, entrambe queste tratte hanno bisogno dei posti prenotati.la mia domanda è: possibile che non appaia il mio treno sull’app e che se anche fosse non diretto quindi debba comprare due posti riservati diversi per la coincidenza (nonostante io abbia già pagato un posto fino a Monaco diretto)?

I'm planning to get on the calidonian Sleeper at 22.22pm on the 16th at April at my local train station in Garelochhead for the start of our interrail tour. I have paid for the room supplement, great.However as this is my First journey of the day and the Calidonian sleeper only need a ticket valid on arrival so the 17th... is the correct? Or do I just need my ticket to be valid in the app for the 16th?  I also read somewhere they said to add it manually but I can't work out how.  Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

Hello everyone, at the moment I don’t understand which bus rides are free for me to use and which are not. Can I add a random bus route to “My Trip” for example in Cornwall, UK? The ride is not available in the app, but could I simply add it manually? There is sometimes no train available, so I am supposed to take the bus.Thank you for your help in advance!Anna

Hi, if i have a France one country pass and choose to go to Florence, can i only pay the portion of the trip that is within Italy (because the pass covers the french portion)? Or would that not be allowed? Is it possible to see what the split would be if I wanted to travel from Lyon to Florence? ThanksRoger

Hello. :)I would like to use the Interrail pass to travel this summer.I want to go from a specific city in France to a specific city in Germany and because of my late planning, the direct trains have no more space for pass holders and I have to go through a series of trains. This is also during my outbouding travel but it’s not in my residential country anymore. I'm afraid that a delay of one train at the beginning of the day will make me miss a train at the end of the day.Since these are all trains without reservations (so no paid reservations), do I have to take them all at the same time? If I take the ticket for the late train and see that I'm going to miss it, can I change it?Thanks for any help!
