What can I do in this situation?We are travelling from London to Geneva via Paris in October.We initially had a 79 minute changeover in Paris, where we had to get from Gare du Nord to Gare De Lyon (by the RER) - plenty of time.Eurostar have just written to us and changed our departure time from London, putting it back 30 mins, and with slightly longer travel times, we now have a 40 minute connection time.I tend to be pretty blase about these sort of things, but even I’m a bit nervous about making the connection on time.Am I able to request a change to an earlier train out of London to ensure we make the connection (at no cost)? We’re 6 weeks out from travel.
The reason I ask is that I’m trying to make some reservations from Paris to Rome on that day. Ideally changing trains in Turin or Milan.We can get a reservation that morning as far as Turin or Milan, but train services past that seem to be nigh on unbookable.No reservations available south of these cities, and very few paid tickets of any form - nothing high speed at all.The message against the services listed is:“Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.”It seems to be the situation for the Saturday (11/11) and Sunday (12/11) where this is in full effect too.Tried the OBB site and they don’t have anything at all - message against all services is “Ticket Not Available”
We’re from Australia and looking to travel through UK, France, Switzerland and Italy from mid October to late November. At this stage, we have 5 days planned of first-class Eurail travel over just under a month. We’ve never travelled on trains in Europe before.At this stage we intend to travel as follows (all daytime travel):Manchester Airport-London London-Avignon Paris-Geneva Geneva-Rome Rome-VeniceLogic says we need 2 x 5 day/1 month passes, and we would ideally like to have access to the passes electronically.Having had a look at the schedule, some of the services we’d be after seem to be available now, while others are yet to appear. I have had a look through a number of the conditions around reservations and pass purchasing, and some aspects aren’t completely clear.I have the following questions:How far in advance of travel should I purchase the passes? Do I have to activate the passes before I make my first reservation? Should reservations be made on the Eurail website, or shoul
