Hi all. Thank God for this community, we almost finished on planning and reserving our first family eurail trip. We plan to travel from Interlaken Ost to Zurich on November 15th via Luzern with the Panoramic Express (PE) 0904am. However, Railplanner, SBB and OEBB showed that there is no direct PE train to Luzern on our travel date. The train will stop at Meiringen, and we must take replacement bus from there to Giswil, and board the train again from Giswil to Zurich. We checked on SBB website, this is due to:“Interrupted service Giswil - MeiringenInterrupted rail services between Giswil and Meiringen.This is due to engineering work.” My questions are:Would be it be worth it to choose this PE2919, which require us to take bus half way? Do we need to make or pay another reservation for the bus? Then the PE2919 from Giswil to Luzern, do we need to make and pay another reservation?We really want to try Panoramic Express, but we wonder if we took the PE, we won’t be relaxed to enjoy the sc
Hi allWe travel from Paris to Interlaken Ost on November 13, based on Railplanner App and SNCB App, the earliest is to take TGV 9203 from Paris 0722am to Basel, then IC1069 Basel 11.28am to Interlaken Ost. We need to reach Interlaken Ost before 2pm as we have to take bus scheduled on 2.06pm to Iseltwald.Is there any other way to make reservation for TGV9203 other than from Railplanner? Also, Railplanner showed that we can make reservation for IC1069 although it’s not mandatory. But we thought Eurail pass holders didnt require to make payment for IC trains? A bit confused now Another questions, found that reservation fee for THV9203 is high. Please show us other route that maybe cheaper? Sorry for long post and thanks in advance.
Hi all. Please help us to decide which train schedule is better for us as we travel with toddler. We plan to leave Brugge on 11th Nov around 9am. Previously we got suggestions from this community to take IC from Brugge to Kortrijk, Kortrijk to Lille Flandres, then take TGV from Lille Flandres to Paris, as it would be many available seats from Lille Flandres and reservation fees much cheaper But so far we checked the schedule from Rail Planner App or Belgian Train website or SNCB app or DB Navigator app, these app show that we must take Brugge to Bruxelles Midi, then take Thalys from there to Paris. If we edit the options by putting via Kortrijk or via Lille Flandres, these apps keep pointing out that we must go to Bruxelles Midi to go to Paris, resulting 4 to 5 change of train. We prefer max 2 change of train and hope to reach Paris around 1 or 2pm.We are so confused now. Please advise.
Hi everyone. We are from a country in Asia, our Europe trip will be in November (me, my husband and our 3yo son). We have read so much information about Eurail pass, all the positives negatives related to train travel but still we are interested to try this kind of sustainable mode of travel. And yes, we feel like we are still lack of insight 😅So this is our plan:We will reach UK first, and on 10th November we plan to go to Bruges (quoted from railplanner: London - Bruxelles Midi 1104-1405, change trains 24 mins, Bruxelles Midi 1429-1530). Would the change trains of 24 mins doable, with the walking distance, passport control, check-in process? How about delayed trains, how often is it happened for Eurostar London-Bruxelles? Spend 1 day there, and go to Paris on 11th Nov (quoted from railplanner: Bruges - Bruxelles Midi 1209-1308, change trains 13 mins, Bruxelles Midi-Paris Nord 1321-1444). Again, is it possible for us to change trains in 13 mins? Travel to Iseltwald Switzerland on
