Solved

Hello, I am currently trying to get from Bulgaria to Greece, specifically from Kulata to Strymonas. There should be a rail replacement bus service, but details are scarce. I arrived at Kulata at 16:45, and apparently the bus should have come at about 17:00.  At the station, the ticket office was closed. All I could do was ask other station staff who hardly spoke English and vaguely pointed in the direction the bus stopped and said 5 minutes of walking. There was no sign at the station to indicate the time of the bus or where exactly it stopped. I walked in the direction they pointed, but there was no sign indicating where the bus stopped. I will try again tomorrow. As far as you are aware, is there still a functioning rail replacement bus service?It is still on the Interrail map. Thank you for your help. Would would be the next best way to get to Greece, in your opinion? If it fails tomorrow too … Kind regards,

Hello, so I read online that you have 2 travel days inside your home country. I live in Linz (Austria) and our first Country we want to visit is Prague. To reach Prague we have to take a train from Linz to Vienna and from Vienna to Prague. Is this possible because someone said that you can only take one train inside your homecountry?thank you in advance!

Hi Eurail community. I travelled on EC9227 this morning which departed from Bruxelles Central at 0949 and arrived in Rotterdam Central at 1150. When I alighted the train at Rotterdam Central the only backpack on the rack above wasn’t mine. I believe someone else had picked up the wrong backpack as they were both black, both felt the same weight. Mine is Adidas brand with a flask bottle on one side and travel oral hygiene products on the other side. Inside there’s a shoe bag and a small soft case of my medicines, amongst other things. I’m hoping that the person who realised they picked the wrong backpack would come across this announcement. Please will you contact me to organise a handover exchange. I’m in Amsterdam for the next few nights.

I have been traveling from Amsterdam to south of France and so far, no major problems occurred. However, now I want to book a train from Avignon back to Amsterdam (or at least initially to Paris or Brussels-Midi) on August 1, 2026. Whatever option I try, I am unable to make any seat (and journey) reservation. I have tried virtually all departure times, different partial bookings and different itineraries (Paris, Lille, Brussels, Lyon), and I tried multiple times (the app often suggests: we can’t add this journey to your cart right now, try again later; or no seat prices are given), but it looks like I will be stuck in Avignon and cannot get anywhere.Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

How do we activate a travelday, without a planned journey for the day. We just want to hop on and off and see what the day brings. Whithout restricting to a certain plan.

Hello, me and my friend are going on interrail in about a week!We kind of „overslept“ booking our seat reservations and just started to book them today.Unfortunately we now have a problem, because the seats of every train going from london to paris on the 14th August are reserved. We then tried to book them over the eurostars website, but the Website does not find any train going from london to paris. Online you can see that the website eurostars is for trains inbetween the United Kingdom, Belgium, France,…we also tried booking from an extern website, but there you can only buy tickets to get seat reservations and those are very expensive. we are now desperate and unsure what to do.please help us, thank you in advance!antonia & anna

Does anyone got the 5% discount on Hostelworld using Interrail Pass? I'm entering my pass number on the page but it doesn't work :/ https://benefitsportal.eurail.com/benefits/hostelworld/

Hello. Has anyone in this community successfully applied for a free carer’s pass? I am planning to travel with my niece later this year. My niece is registered disabled and we have submitted the form to apply for a carer’s pass twice and receive no reply. What I’m trying to find out (very simply) is whether my niece has to purchase her pass before she can apply for the carer’s pass for me? Can anyone help with this? It would be great to hear from anyone who has successfully applied for a carer’s pass - what was the process and how easy was this?

Hello everyone.I need some help. I'm having a problem with an Interrail route: the founder of the group can see it and added it without problems, while to me that same route doesn't appear when I try to add it. Also, even trying to import it through the link he sent me, I can't. We tried to figure out how to solve it, but we can't figure it out. Has it already happened to anyone? Do you know how it can be done?

I am a Japanese citizen living in Japan. I am planning a 4-month trip around Europe.I plan to travel by using a Visitor VLS-TS pass(visa) for France about the France's part(about 25days) of the long trip because of Schengen Agreement's 90-day rule. Since the trip within the Schengen Area will last about four months, it will exceed 90days.But in this case, can I use Eurail or Interrail pass in France only?

Kurz vor dem Start muss ich die Pässe auf einn neues Handy umziehen. Dazu muss man die Pässe scheinbar auf dem alten Telefon deaktivieren und auf dem neuen aktivieren. Sind die Reisen und Reservierungen dann noch da? Ich möchte das ungerne alles noch einmal anlegen mit dieser schrecklich zu bedienenden App. 😢

 I’m on the DeutscheBahn website and am trying to book a seat reservation for two ICE trains since I have an EURail Pass. I am hoping for this trip since I am hoping to leave as late as possible in the afternoon while getting back to Berlin before too late (especially since DB is notorious for being delayed/late these days).The first ICE trip from Paris to Mannheim says the train cannot be reserved at the moment. Does that mean if I book this, I won’t have a reservation for the first train, Paris to Mannheim? Would I even need a reservation if it’s an ICE train or do I need a seat reservation regardless since it’s a train in France?Thanks!

 Dear Eurail community group.I would like to ask for your assistance regarding my Eurail Global Pass.I traveled on 25 July 2026 from München Hbf (Munich) to Innsbruck Hbf on Railjet RJ 85. I had a valid seat reservation for this journey.Unfortunately, I mistakenly forgot to add the journey to my Eurail Pass in the Rail Planner app and did not activate my first travel day before boarding. During the ticket inspection, the conductor scanned only my seat reservation QR code and did not ask to see or scan my Eurail Pass.I realized this mistake two days later and found that my Pass still shows that Travel Day 1 has not been used.Could you please advise me:Is there any way to register or account for this travel day after the journey? Does this affect the validity of my Eurail Pass or my remaining travel days? Is there anything I should do before continuing to use my pass for my upcoming journeys?I would appreciate your guidance.Thank you very much for your time and assistance.Kind regards,ji

Dear community, I’m looking for a reservation for the train IC 416 or EN 40416, in particular the first, from Wien to Krakow on September 7th. I looked on the OBB website and others, but is not possible to book it. On OBB I read the message “Currently not reservable”. Do you think this is a temporary situation or all the seats are booked? I’m worried since I have less than 2 months left. Thank you for any clearifications!Best Pierluigi Pellegrino

Hi, I am travelling this week on a Global Pass. I have already activated the pass and all travel days. Re the travel days, should I not have activated those yet? Can I do that day by day during my trip? I thought I had to activate in order to secure a ticket on the train. Many thanks all.  Super excited by the way!!! 

Hi, 2 adults and 2 children with 15 in 2 months Global Interrail passes, we have everything set up in the app, everything activated and all tickets created.Our journeys start this week coming on 29/7/26.  I have read that we should wait until the day to activate.  I am concerned that we should now deactivate and reactivate on the morning of travel. But with children to sort out in the morning, we don’t want have to create more work on the day!! We would prefer to keep it activated (if our plans change we cannot travel later in the year).  Is it ok to activate now? Are there other reasons why we should not activate now?  As we have all the journey days activated and all tickets ready, can we change them after activation? Say if we want to change ne of the trains or travel days in late August, can we do so nearer the time? Or does the fact we had created the ticket when the validity started mean that we cannot then change?  Can I please ask what activation sets in stone? Is it that you h

Hello everyone, I need some help because I was due to go away in July using my travel pass, but due to a family issue I wasn’t able to go. So I haven’t used my pass. Does anyone know if there’s a way I could, as a one-off, change the date to August?

How many days of my pass is used by making my outbound journey in UK:  Drem to Edinburghovernight Edinburgh to London(Next day) Eurostar London to Paris?

Good morning everyone, we have a problem with our direct train from Wien to Krakow. We booked it 4 months ago (only the seat reservation), so we expected something could change, but here it's the interesting part.This ÖBB direct train (16.10 --> 21 24) seems to be cancelled, however the same train operator seems to provide the same train (because the code is the same, EC202) but with a different itinerary, which arrive at Krakow Plaszow instead of Krakow Glowny (16.10 --> 21.47). Therefore, we searched it on our Rail Planner App, but unfortunately we dind't find it and, at its place, we found a train with the same train code (EC202), with the same depart time, but with a different itinerary from the one provided by ÖBB, which arrive in a polish city really far from Krakow.What should we do? Our previous seat reservation can still be used, considering that the code is always the same? And which timetables or itinerary should we rely on? I assume the ÖBB one is more reliable, but h

When I try to book seats for St Pancras to Narbonne I found a very cheap seat but when I tried to pay the cost changes and increases. I also tried to book another seat on another train and that train has no seats available even though it was showing availability.  here are 2 screenshots of the 2 seats I have tried to book. Can I get an explanation as to why this is happening? Thank you     

Salve, dal 16 al 31/8/26 vorrei raggiungere Lourdes da Roma e ritornare.Qualche consiglio? Vorrei dormi re sempre in treno per risparmiare e non fare i cambi treno di notte o comunque con buio.…Grazie!

Hello, I’m based in London and would love to travel to Italy (Bologna) by train, but the journey length and cost seem daunting and I keep putting it off each year.I currently have a 4-day Interrail pass that expires in November but can get a refund if I don’t use it.  At this stage, I’d need to pay at least £100 in seat reservations on top of the cost of the pass, plus one extra night’s stopover accommodation each way (I have insomnia so would prefer not to take the overnight train).The length of the journey also seems daunting.  Last year I travelled from London to Aix-en-Provence by Eurostar+TGV and loved the journey - the scenery was beautiful - but it only took one day so it felt manageable.  I would want to split the Italy journey into two days.My friends and family say I should just take a plane (I haven’t flown for 9 years) but I am worried about climate change.I’m stuck in a rut and would be grateful for any advice please.  Many thanks in advance!
