Are there any plans to add seat selection to the eurail.com reservations tool?

The tool is great, however I often end up calling SNCF for a long journey to change my seats! I wonder if it would be possible to bring in a seat selection tool, or perhaps bring in the ability to communicate preferences such as single, aisle, or window, like many European railways have on their client-facing systems. Are there any plans to introduce this in the future?

Is it possible to buy a paper pass in Paris?

Hello all, I am very grateful for the advice. I need to travel tomorrow at short notice! Is it possible to buy a physical paper pass anywhere in Paris. A couple years ago I went to an SNCF ticket office and they said they no longer did them, however their explanation was because I had a British passport, which seemed far-fetched.I’d love a paper pass, especially as I prefer them (despite the advantages of mobile). I have a normal full-fare ticket to Paris, however I would need Interrail from there. Is there anywhere I can purchase one!Many thanks!

Eurostar-Interrail Faring Agreement; Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy (Disneyland Paris) and London St Pancras

Hello. Ever since the pandemic - and possibly before - it has been impossible to book Interrail reservations between Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy (Disneyland Paris) and London St Pancras on Eurostar. I understand that reservations to Disneyland Paris were - like those to Paris, Lille, and Brussels - a part of the 2017 commercial agreement between Interrail and Eurostar. Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy not a selectable option in the SNCB-International online booking tool and when one calls different booking centres, apparently the availability is not actually loaded. There is no ticket bucket.Please may I ask if reservations to Disneyland Paris were ever a part of the Eurostar-Interrail faring agreement? If so, when were they formally renegotiated/withdrawn?If they were not formally withdrawn, can we get them back please?Thank you. If any part of these questions is wrong, impetuous, or mistaken, I apologise.

Longstanding issue relating to reservations on Germany-France crossborder trains

Hi! Hope this isn’t too appallingly annoying a first post on the forum! I love Interrail but have a major ticketing/reservations query. From posts on this website - a lot of them - and my own personal experience over the last many months, there seems to be something pathologically wrong with the availability of crossborder trains between Germany and France, like say the TGV 9552 or literally all of the others. Without a phone call to a reservations office - which I know is part and parcel of Interrail life but still a fair hurdle against easy use on such an important route - it is impossible to book these except at a railway station. It is completely impossible to book them online via DB or the Eurail.com system. This should not be the case because availability does exist.  Is there any way to resolve this in discussion with DB/SNCF, or to ask SNCB to expand the list of permitted stations in their online booking applet for Interrail passes? It seems like a minor technical fault which c
