Hi,maybe somebody has experience how to travel best in UK with an Interrail first class ticket?I have seen, there are different companies e.g. for London - Edinburgh: LNER, Virgin, …Would it be best to go by LNER because there is free food? Are there other good advices, like especially comfortable trains with first class ticket, or lounges we have to see?Maybe also some nice trains for train lovers (like old diesel Intercity trains e.g. Edinburg - Inverness)?And maybe special advice when you arrive with Eurostar at 8pm in St. Pancras. Would it be good to go for one more station heading to Edinburgh for cheaper accommodation than in London?Thanks, Thomas

I booked a trip from Paris to Geneva via the Eurail platform and then reserved the seats on the website. The return train ticket worked but I got an error on the train to Geneva saying that the reservation and payment went through but the tickets couldn’t be retrieved because of a system error. Does anyone know what to do?

I have reservations on Eurostar from London to Paris 5/19 leaving at 12:31 arriving at 15:58, then on the night train from Paris to Toulouse same day leaving at 22:13. The app won’t let me add the night train to my pass as it keeps saying the journey overlaps with another. Clearly it does not. I’ve also had trouble with the app showing incorrect times in the list of journeys added to my trip, but correct after opening the journey. Not sure what’s going on.

How does one make reservations to travel from CDG to Lyon, stay 8 days in Lyon, then travel to Lucerne and stay a day or more, then travel to Salsburg and stay a day or so, and then travel to CDG again? 

Hi! I’m Davide I’m from Italy and I’m 18. I’m travelling alone through Spain (Madrid and Andalusia) at the end of july and on the first days of august. I’m searching for travel buddies and someone to travel with even if it is just for a part of my trip.

Hello! Can anyone help me recommend a route for July?I would like to leave Arad at night, arriving in Budapest at 8:50, where I will probably stay 2 nights. Can someone help me with recommendations for a route that leaves Budapest and ends up here. I would like the route to last somewhere at most 7 days, and not be necessarily long or expensive (I prefer it to be cheaper :) )I mention the fact that I have a 7-day travel pass

Hi all. I have a 4 day pass. Will travel 3 days on it then take the night train from Amsterdam to Zurich (leaving Amsterdam at 19.05) and then travel the day to get home in Italy. However, is it right that the day I get on the night train and the next day travel as two travel days…? I messed that part up I believe.Could I solve it by buying a regular ticket from Amsterdam to the first station where the train arrives after midnight (Bonn)? Amd activate my travel day from Bonn? Only 20€ I saw, would be an easy fix, right?

Hi there, I am considering booking a seat reservation on the TGV from Lausanne to Avignon TGV on Sunday, the 20th of July, for 7:52 am.I have to book it on the Interrail web page, as I won my pass with DiscoverEU, and this year they are providing 4 free seat reservation credits only through the Interrail seat reservation page.Does anyone know why the seat reservation appears unavailable (see image below) on the Interrail page yet available to purchase for €29 on RailEurope?The DiscoverEU person I was dealing with was not able to help me. They advised me to choose a different route/departure, or if I wanted the seat reservation, I would have to pay for it on Rail Europe.The problem is that this direct train saves over an hour compared to taking a different departure/route and only goes once a day. I have to travel on Sunday.Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.  

Hi all,I am trying to book seat reservation for TGV 6964 from Annecy to Paris on July 17th. It seems like it is not running on that date or the day before. Does anyone know of any planned interruption or any other reason why it it would not run on those dates?Thanks in advance,Kasper

Hi, I am going on a trip with 3 other friends this summer. We have all bought the Eurail pass and am starting to book some night trains ahead of time. One concern I have is ensuring that we are all in the same cabin when booking couchettes. I have added my friends to my trip, but that just makes me have to pay for their tickets as well when booking. Is there any way to have my friends pay for their own tickets but still ensure that we will all be together on the overnight trip? Thanks!

Realmente es necesario tener impresos en papel las reservas????

Hi,Could someone please clarify: if I purchase a Eurail Global Pass, will it allow me to travel on high-speed trains operated by companies like Deutsche Bahn (DB) in Germany and Trenitalia's Frecciarossa in Italy? Specifically, can I use the pass for both domestic journeys (from one city to another city in Italy or France to explore whole city) within a country and international trips between countries, such as traveling from Germany to France and then to Italy?Thank you!

This my family’s first time using Eurail in Italy and I have just a couple questions. After getting the passes for my family a couple months back I first used the website to route our travel and made all of the necessary reservations. Then, just a couple weeks back we activated our passes in the app, looked up those same routes and added those journeys to our passes. I’m still getting emails from Eurail however reminding me to make my reservations, which I have already made. Was the order in which I first made reservations and then created the journeys and add them to our passes in the app wrong? Related to this, for those trains in which we have reservations, do we need to only show the train attendants that PDF ticket, or do we also show them the QR code for the same journey in the app? Finally, those Trenitalia reservations ticket don’t indicate whether they need to be printed or can just be shown on our phones. Are printed tickets necessary? Thanks very much.

Trying to do my reservations needed and app doesn’t work/ load the page for the reservation. Then it clicks to an error message. Try on the desktop rather than app and even though I sign in my trip and pass aren’t there. Can anyone explain why I am doing wrong lol 

Hi,When using the planner, Is it possible to add different journeys on the same day, and will they automatically result in just one single travel day ? For example, we want to travel from Antwerp to Belfast -< if we put these destination at once in the travel planner, we would lose 2 travel days because of not always showing the best connections or not showing all trains available. If we split this trip in different journeys we are able to do the whole track in just a single travel day. However, we're not really sure that we can split it and add it like this without losing an extra travel day. Anyone who knows the answer? We made already some reservations on the Eurostar according to the best suited time schedule (separately).

Bonjour,Nous sommes 3 amis et cherchons à aller jusqu’à Sofia (Bulgarie). Nous avons réservé le trajet, mais seule la partie payante s’inscrit comme réservé (Hongrie à la Roumanie). Est-ce normal ? Pouvons nous voyager dans les autres trains sans billets (ceux de notre itinéraire mais sans placement obligatoire) ? Comment pouvons-nous avoir accès à nos billets (non sur payant) ? Et si nous n’avons pas payé de place assise pourrons-nous l’être quand même ?Merci de votre aide,Cloé, Mathilde et Coline

Hello, we are traveling to Germany, Austria and Switzerland in June/Julyi have one leg left to book and can’t get anything to work. Need to book seat reservations from Rothenburg de o Tauber to Grindelwald. We have the Global Eurail 1st Class Pass. Have tried Eurail site, DB, SBB, and can’t get it to secure. On Eurail, it never prompts me to enter credit card number, it just processes and then errors out. I’ve cleared cache, changed computers, gone incognito. any help would be appreciated!!!

I only have an American passport and I’d like to spend a couple years in the UK to do research via the UK HPI Visa. I’ll be staying with a family member near London.Am I eligible for an Interrail pass? I have a feeling I would have complications with showing my US passport and an Interrail pass together.

Hi, I'm in Lauterbrunn. I want to visit the snowy mountains, but I don't want to spend more. Are there any trains that my second-class pass includes? Thanks

Does anyone know if you need to reserve a seat on this train? I've just looked the timetables up and says the train we need to take (08.55) is fully booked?  EDIT: to change the train time

Hello fellow railers! Does anyone know if there is a direct train from Latour de Carol to Perpignan?

I am keen to start my journey this year from France into Spain on this special sounding train across the Pyrenees, but I am very confused by its itinerary. The Man in Seat 61 speaks of the possibility of boarding in Perpignan but SNCF just barges in and takes over when I try to check that on their site, and only shows TGVs to Barcelona! The other departure point is Toulouse, which is less problematic.What I need please is details of these two routes to Barcelona with the pricing structure, making it possible to do the journey with minimum cost. Also. can I go to one of the above main stations and simply buy a ticket? If it is as inexpensive as it looks, I won’t need to use a precious travel day getting to Barcelona.Thank you! Brian (87, still going strong...)

We are travelling from the UK to Mulhouse in France via Eurostar to Paris, TGV to Strasbourg and then TER to Mulhouse on 11 June. This is one of the days identified by SNCF for strikes by rail workers in France.We are en route to the Alps the next day, so could have travelled via Belgium and Germany instead, but needed to book Eurostar before the allocation of Interall passholder fares ran out, (booked via Rail Europe) and before the June strike dates were announced, and so went for the route through Paris instead.Is there any way of changing the Eurostar booking to a destination of Brussels instead of Paris, other than buying a whole new reservation at 40 Euro per person? As far as i can see you can only change time and date, not destination, on Eurostar bookings.Based on past strikes, SNCF seem to advise only a few days in advance of strike action if a specific train will be running, but that is not much use if there is no way of changing a Eurostar booking a few days before travel i
