I need to travel from Interlaken West - Interlaken.Ost - Lauterbrunnen - Murren and back a few days then to Spiez.I notice Eurail pass seems cannot be used Interlaken Ost-Lauterbrunnen-Murren legs.Are there any discounts for this rail/(cable car)travel with Eurail?Also, are there any discounts for Eurail pass holders for other Swiss alpine travel around Murren?

Seat Reservations paid-up but for non-existent train services through Eurail Firenze-Milan (-Spiez)

I booked and paid for seat reservations for Firenze SM Novella- Milano Porta Garibaldi and Milano Centrale-Spiez at the Eurail website against my account. Times on these paid-up seat reservations are 12.10pm depart Firenze 10/7/23 and 15.20 depart Milano same day.HOWEVER, neither the Eurail website nor the Trenitalia now show any train departing Firenze SMN at 12.10pm 10/7/23 even though I have paid for this reservation. (The Milano Centrale-Spiez train 15.20pm 10/7/23 seems to exist).Is my Eurail pass and/or seat reservation of any use?I contacted Eurail support but they simply said wait several weeks for the train schedules to be repopulated online. I have double checked 2 weeks later and the 12.10 Firenze train still does not exist 10/7.Is my paid up seat reservation with Eurail valid or of any use? I have no confidence in the situation. Should I buy yet another reservation on another Firenze service to Spiez - BUT I note these have different routes - via Bologne which requires yet

Can I use Eurail Global Pass for Trenitalia train Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentino

From Melbourne, Australia, I am travelling mid June 2023 from Roma Fiumicino Airport train station (as staying near there) to Castiglion Fiorentico (via Roma Tiburtina is the way I am advised)Eurail website https://www.eurail.com/en/help/interested-in-eurailing/which-trains-are-included-in-the-pass states that Trenetalia Italian trains ARE included under Eurail Pass.The Roma Fiumicino Airport rail stn to Roma Tiburtina leg of trip seems not covered and not managed by Trenetalia.But Trenetalia operate Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentico (per their website https://www.lefrecce.it/Channels.Website.WEB/#/search-results?handoff=true&referrer=www.trenitalia.com) so can I use my 7 day Eurail Pass investment - with no seat reservation ?The Eurail Pass site when searching simply comes up with NO train service found Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentico 26/6/23 - unhelpful to me.  Tony Harding

Eurail Pass - reservations essential?

I have bought a 7-day Eurail pass for June-July travel in Italy-Switzerland. The pass does not apply to local/regional trains but question I have is when it is stated Reservations are needed - is this just for a seat - or can the Eurail pass still be used e.g. standing room where accepted without that reservation?eg. travel Rome Airport station to Roma Tiburtina on 26 June 2023 Other question isNo seat reservation is available anyway for above travel on Eurail search engine- is this because it is too early being now 16th April trying to book for 26/6/23? I read somewhere timetables become enfixed 2 months in advance?

Australian travelling on Eurail Pass Italy-Switzerland-Italy

I am trying to forward plan above training trip applying my Eurorail Pass checking if reservations needed. When I search on Eurorail site eurorail.com it gives me NO train options for Castiglion Fiorentino to Florence and states I need reservations X 2 for Florence to Interlaken West. On the other hand when I search trainline.com it gives me non-seat reservations options for Florence -Interlaken travel. I need to do similar rail plan to return from Interlaken West to Rome Fiumicino Airport 16/7/23 (not Tuscany this way) How can I plan with Eurorail's search result here? Advice needed please as to whether I need to  apply Reservations (or not) against the 7 day Eurorail Pass I have purchased.Thank you
