Hello, I am staying in Seville for a few days and would like to take a couple of day trips to Granada and Cordoba. I have 3 month Global Pass - 1st Class and have been able to make reservations for certain Spanish trains via Eurail site, but these day trips show on the Eurail site as not being available online. Can I just go to the train station and book these the day of the journey? Gracias!
Hello, tomorrow (Oct. 17, 2023), I will be traveling from Ghent to Amsterdam. The journey has 3 segments, the last of which is Rotterdam to Amsterdam. The Eurail site is saying that a supplement is required to board the train, but the information on supplements indicates that the supplement applies to Rotterdam to Schipol Airport. The Rotterdam to Amsterdam train stops at Schipol, but Schipol is not my destination. Do I need to pay the supplement and if so can I pay it on board the train? I thought I read it could be paid on board, but I’m not seeing this when I just checked this route. Thank you!
Two of us are taking a day trip on our first class Eurail passes today, Oct. 13, 2023 from Ghent to Cologne. The segment from Brussels Zuid (Midi) to Cologne is showing as “seat reservations not required” and the Eurail site is showing that I can reserve seats for a fee. I went to OBB and tried to reserve seats, but it is showing that no seats are available for reservation on the 10:25 train to Cologne. We need to come back on the Cologne to Midi train at 17:51 and I haven’t checked yet for seat reservations on OBB, but would like to make them I can. If OBB is saying I can’t reserve seats, does that mean seats are full or does that mean that they just do not handle the reservation? Thank you.
I’m using my Eurail pass for a trip from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverly on Oct 2 and returning October 5, 2023. It looks like a strike and maintenance will cause “reduced services” and possibly some cancelled trains. I made seat reservations via GWR a couple of months ago for both trips. Typically, when there is a strike or maintenance causing service disruptions, do Eurail pass holders get bumped in favor of ticket holders who have paid full fair? Or can I count on my seat reservations (which were free) to be valid? If the train I am scheduled to take gets cancelled, but there are other trains operating, are my Eurail pass and seat reservations going to help me get on another train or are pass holders out of luck when strikes and maintenance curtail services? I have first class global pass, does that help? Any insights would be appreciated. What a way to start my 3-month journey!
I’m arriving from the Philippines and will be activating my 3-month Eurail pass on Sat. Sept 30 when I arrive. I was planning on taking Thameslink to Finsbury Park Station using the pass, but I am encountering conflicting information from multiple sources that is made more complicated by a strike and “Planned Industrial Action!” on Sept. 30. The Eurail site is showing “EXP” is available from Gatwick to Finsbury. I think “EXP” is the Thameslink, but I’m not sure as Google Maps shows Thameslink and Gatwick Express are different. Google is showing no Thameslink service on this route on Sept 30. National Railway is still selling tickets for this route, but it is via Southern Services to Victoria and then tube to Finsbury (so I take it the Thameslink is not operational on this route Sep 30?). I think I can use the Eurail pass on Southern service from Gatwick to Victoria, but Eurail site is showing “EXP” connects Victoria and Gatwick. This is all very confusing and before I “wing it”
I’m traveling from Barcelona to Seville on Nov 30, 2023 and I’m pleased to see that now I can book AVE trains on the Eurail site. This journey can be completed with a leg from Barcelona to Madrid and then from Madrid to Seville, which is two separate journeys. A few weeks I noticed that an AVE 3940 train runs at 7:32 direct from Barcelona to Seville, but the available dates do not coincide with AVE trains for the 2-leg journey. A few weeks ago, the direct seemed to be available 45 days from the present date, but now it looks like it may have been discontinued after mid-October. I don’t mind paying double, but it would be nice to do the journey on a direct train rather than transfer at Atocha. I’m afraid I may wait for the direct train to be available on my date to no avail. Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
First, the responses I’ve received on this platform have been great and have resolved several seat reservation issues. So thank you. I’m finishing up reservations on my 3 month European excursion and need to book Bordeaux-St. Jean to Paris Montparnasse for the morning of Dec. 13, 2023. Eurail site has and the travel b Europe site, which I think is SNCF, have slots until Dec. 9, and it’s been that way for weeks. I really want to proceed with another connection that evening, but before I book I need to confirm this Bordeaux to Paris leg. I think I saw a phone number, but I’m in Southeast Asia and have Skype, so I don’t know if it will work. Is there an alternative to the methods I’ve been trying (Eurail/Travel b Europe)?
My wife and I have 3-month Global Pass 1st Class. So far, so good, but after patiently waiting for prices for seat reservations to appear for late October 2023, it looks like the only option for a seat reservation on the ECB85 Direct from Munich to Venice is 2nd Class. This could mean one of two or three things: 1. 1st Class pass holders don’t need a seat reservation and “you are ready to board” really applies. 2. 1st Class pass holders cannot reserve a 1st class seat and may or may not get a 1st class seat depending on availability. Or maybe 3. There are no 1st class seats on the ECB85? I think #3 doesn’t apply because I checked Seat 61 and there are photos. I’m wondering if I want comfort and piece-of-mind:, A. Do I have to reserve 2nd Class? Or, B. I should stop worrying and just show up for my ECB85 train without a seat reservation because there should be two first class seats available on the ECB85 from Munich to Venice in late October? Appreciate your thoughts on this an
