I'm booked on the 7:01am london St Pancras to Paris Eurostar on Thursday. I'm booked in plus. The first train from Cambridge arrives in St Pancras at 05:59. The recommended check-in is at 05:46 but check in closes at 6:31. Am I safe to connect from the 05:59 Cambridge train?

Hi, we’re in Venice today and need to travel to Milan tomorrow. I’d rather not pay the additional fees for the train reservations which would cost up to €130 for the five of us (€13 per train leg and it changes in Bologna). We can go on regional trains via Verona at no cost - are there any other options for it to be a bit quicker and not incur the high cost? We have interail global 1st class passes. Thanks, Jon

Hi there,Travelling to Europe via Eurostar so need to get to St Pancras from the west country in England.

Does anyone knoe how to fix this problem? I have i friend who lives just over the border between the Netherlands and Germany, on the side of Germany. We are currently on our trip that started from Nijmegen in The Netherlands. Now we have been in Switserland, Italy, Austria and the Checz Republic. We are now on our way to Berlin and thats where the issue is. My friend lives in Germany, so the out/inbound system works for him in Germany. We did not account for this considering he never does anything in Germany and does school and all other daily things in The Netherlands. He now cannot contine to Denmark after Berlin because of how the days work. Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

We are traveling with a 1st class InterRail Global Pass together with our 8-month-old baby. Since children under 4 are not eligible for their own pass, he travels on ours and sits in our lap.However, we’ve been asked to either move to 2nd class or purchase an additional full-price 1st class ticket for our baby on three separate occasions in Poland (PKP Intercity) and the Czech Republic (CD). While I understand that this may be in line with local regulations, the official InterRail rules clearly state that babies are allowed to travel in 1st class with someone holding a 1st class InterRail ticket.Can anyone clarify how these local rules align with InterRail’s ticket rules?

Too early to reserve seats for this journey? Would prefer the 06:22 to 15:50 one but first part of journey not valid on pass. 07:57 to 19:50 second choice. Thanks!

HelloWe are about to set off for Europe, mainly travelling in Norway, using an Interail pass for the first time. Reservations have been made when necessary using Entur. I have been checking our trip details this morning as some of the entries had to be added manually when we were first planning our holiday. There are a couple that are still not showing in the trip planner even though these are during the first week of September. My concern is whether the QR code will show correctly once I activate the respective journeys. Am I worrying unduly?Any help would be much appreciated thank you

Hi all, we are looking to book the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam as our outbound travel train out of the UK. We also need to get to London from the North. Can we book the travel from London - Amsterdam and the train to London separately or in one go?If we go on the train planner it suggests the train in one go but we are worried about delays to London which will then make us miss the London Amsterdam train.   

When i checked on google maps i was given suitable trains form start to end. However when i went to the eurail app these trains were not offered. Is there any way that i can add these trains and save the trip?

I have train reservation from Barcelona Sants to Paris. Can I take this train in Girona or do I have to board in Barcelona?

Is the following scenario possible: I purchase the 5 days in a month pass. I travel from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Neapel (Italy). From Neapel to Bologna (both Italy). One day trip to a small town outside of Bologna (Italy). From Bologna to Karlsruhe. From Karlsruhe to Leeds (UK).Does that work?

Hey so we are planning our interrail route and in my country (Greece), railway network is not so good so it's kinda hard to get out and expensive. We were thinking starting from spain but tickets are not that cheap. Anyways the question is if airplane tickets are covered by the pass in any way or even if a part of the amount is covered. Thank you!!

There’s a bunch of topics here on the Narvik-Kiruna connection but they are >10months old. We're doing that this Summer and running into some interesting challenges. In particular, the Kiruna-Gällivare tracks are being revised (details at https://bransch.trafikverket.se/contentassets/8f4ef0aa71e34f7fbee83cfd6da5e1b1/ns_2025_2025_06_09.pdf) and it is quite tricky to find a through-connection from Narvik via Kiruna to Boden and onwards. So this is a heads-up to anyone aiming to cover this route in August 2025.We'll find our way across (it involves a bus for the Kiruna-Gällivare bit) but I do have a question that the SJ website hasn't answered for me. Apart from the tracks undergoing renovation, Kiruna station (along with the whole city center, famously) will be moved by a few miles due to the iron ore mine needing more space. (For us that's one reason to go check out Kiruna, in case you’re wondering.)But my question for the rail heads: where exactly will the train stop in Kiruna in Au

We ordered paper passes and do not get them delivered. Interrail said they did send them. PostNL said they never got them. Interrail says I have to go to PostNL PostNL says Interrail has to ask them information, not me. Interrail says it is not their problem. And we can not travel if we do not have passes   What can we do. Who can help us?

Hello,I’m 1st class  Eurail  pass holder.I plan to Caen ex Paris St Lazare.H’ever,only 2nd seat reservation fee shown on  rail planner.Please confirm if need to pay seat reservation fee for the 1st class pass holder .Thank you

I have a 1st Class Interrail Global pass and want to reserve a seat on ICE9574 between Strasbourg and Paris.  Neither interrail.eu nor Rail Europe offer it - they only offer 2nd class seats.However, this train starts from Stuttgart and 1st Class seats CAN be booked from either Stuttgart or from Karlsruhe to Paris - so there are very definitely 1st Class seats on the train that are available between Strasbourg and Paris but for some reason the booking engines do not allow a 1st Class reservation from Strasbourg.  (Rail Europe doesn’t even allow a 1st Class ticket to be purchased from Strasbourg!)Is it legitimate for me to make a reservation from Karlsruhe to Paris and simply get on in Strasbourg?  Can anything go wrong if I do this?

Hi,Trying to book seats for an ICE Amsterdam-Köln on the ÖBB app.I get the following message:"Reservation not possibleSorry, shared accommodation on the ICE 153 from Amsterdam Centraal to Köln Hbf is not possible for the passengers as requested."i tried to book without table, in a different part of the train. Every time I get this message. Try again, different app, or is the train just full...?Thanks!!

Hi. I' m travelling from Madrid to Lisbon on October 21st with my family on interrail. I have received good information in this group, but there are still things I do not quite understand. At the moment I can only find one connection (3 changes- 8-9 hours and with one change with only 3 minutes change time) during the day, I like to travel. Is that because the time table has not yet been put on the site? And if so- when will it normally be released? I'm not quite sure if there are many connections where you're not allowed to go with your interrail ticket. Do you by any chance know anything about that? Best wishes Agnethe.

We are a family of 3 with a four year old and planning to travel across 10 countries within 40 days time using Euro rail. Can anyone recommend buying first class is a good idea or would the 2nd class do the same job for a lower price? What extra benefits we get for first class? We will be covering Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungry, Netherland, France, Spain and Portugal. 

It's the first time I bought an interrail pass. Unfortunately for this weekend the reserved seats are already sold out, so I must choose the trains with non-reserved seats with more lay-overs. However, some lay-overs are just 6 or even 3 minutes. What if I miss one lay-over? Can I just take the next train with the Interrail pass without having to pay extra?
