Hi,from 31 Jan 2023 NS the national operator in the Netherlands will have the possibility to travel with Credit Cards with the train only using the credit card as a ticket like tap and go in cities like London for the underground. If you are travelling with an Interrail or Eurail Pass than you have to stop on your phone the possibility to use NFC if you have a Credit or Debit Card on your smart phone, because the ticket barriers at the station will register your credit card and not the QR-Code of your mobile Interrail/Eurail Pass. Maybe the Eurail Team can do something that using the Rail Planner App the payment service is turn off like when using NS app. @Mukhammad Mostly this problem will have iPhone users.

Hello,from today RailEurope will sell Interrail reservations for trains like Italy (incl. seat selection via seat map) or international train Germany-France or TGV to Spain and other countries.News by The Man in Seat 61 on X (Twitter)
Hi,I have some news for travellers to Norway. It is possible to book reservations via Entur.no website, but only if it is only 1 person. Still possible is it via Entur.no chat and Entur Call Center.
Hi, European Sleeper the train operator that runs 3 times the week a nighttrain between Berlin and Brussels via Amsterdam will start to accept Interrail/Eurail Passes from 1 July. In the tweet of the Man in seat 61 the prices.
Hi, from 11 June 2023 will DB - Deutsche Bahn increase the cost of a seat reservation. 2nd class from 4,50 € to 4,90 € per journey 1st class still 5,90 € per journey, but customers with Super Sparpreis and Sparpreis fare will not get the reservation for free anymore. Should be less reserved in 1st class in Germany Family reservation from 9 € to 9,80 € per journeyYou can pay less using ÖBB or CD reservation service for 3 EUR/train or 72 CKZ/trainBut keep in mind that the price is still for a journey and not per train, so often it cost less than two reservations from ÖBB or CD.Via Interrail.eu or Eurail.com the cost is 6 EUR + 2 EUR fee per train. Avoid this service for trains with optional reservation in middle Europe and German speaking countries.
Hi,from 17 June 2023 there will be a swap of train set for the route Hamburg - Copenhagen. No IC3 train sets of DSB but there will run DB IC1 carriages with more seats. Somebody knows if this summer there will be the compusory reservation on this route or not? Because now with more coaches should be possible to run without compulsory reservations.
Hi, today some German speaking media has released that according to Deutsche Bahn (Eurail B.V. shareholder) the Interrail pass is more popular than ever: this year 600,000 tickets have already been sold across Europe. Compared to 2019, the number of tickets sold has almost doubled. The number of Interrail tickets sold in Europe this year has risen to a record of around 600,000. Germany is at the top with 142,000, followed by Switzerland with 94,000 and Great Britain with 63,000.Here the article of “Tagesschau” (news website of German public broadcaster ARD) in German:https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/interrail-tickets-rekord-101.html
Hey,Some users on Twitter but also here in the community have the problem that they do not get informed about the fee to use the DB-ÖBB Eurocity trains to/in Italy. The railplanner app gives some time ago the (wrong) information that you need a reservation, now it writes nothing. The problem now is that DB-ÖBB started to ask an additional fee if you pay the fee on the train.Would be possible to add a notice like please check the special conditions to use this train or something like this? Because how we know only with an Interrail/Eurail Global Pass and an Interrail/Eurail One Country Italy Pass you have to pay, with an Interrail/Eurail German Rail Pass not. On the Railjet trains Venice-Vienna, there is the compulsory reservation notice, but like via Brenner there is only a compulsory fee needed. Here is the information wrong about the compulsory reservation also on the website. If I am not wrong, you get via Interrail Reservation system only the fee and not a reservation. On the Euro
Hi, I read online that it is possible to book reservations on trainplanet.com for like trains in France, Italy, FR-DE and others. I looked now the website, you have to select that you have an Interrail pass and you get the reservation cost. But I don't know if this is a new service or if it is linked to eurail.com/interrail.eu reservation service.Prices only in Swedish Krona.Like for trains in Germany it asks 65 SEK, DE-FR TGV/ICE 290 SEK or TGVs in France 211 SEK.
Hi, I read some news today about how getting from Bardonecchia to Modane on Masdom.There is a bus every hour via the street tunnel. They start right after the arrival of the local train from Turin to Modane. Same for the rides Modane-Bardonecchia, they are connecting to the local trains to Turin.This is a good way to avoid the only train for Interrail/Eurail users on this route the TGV.Cost: 3,40 EUR, pay at the bus driver.Only Monday to Saturday. Does not run on italian holidays. #Modane 🇨🇵/ #Bardonecchia 🇮🇹 is a border very hard to cross for Interrailers. There are no regional trains and Interrail reservations for highspeed services are limited (TGV) or not possible (Freccia). If you weren't successful at getting a reservation/promo ticket, there is a mini-bus shuttling on Mondays to Saturdays between Modane and Bardonecchia through the Fréjus road tunnel. Ticket is 3,40€ and timings are adapted to regional trains to Torino.#CrossBorderBus #interrail #servicetoot https://mastodo

Hey, ÖBB is sending to Newsletter readers that have a ÖBB Account an email with a coupon with 4 reservations for free for trains with optional reservation of ÖBB. The coupon is automatically linked with your ÖBB account. I tried now to book also DB trains, and it works (I tried till to the “paying” site). I don’t know if everybody with ÖBB account gets this or only people which have also the newsletter. This free reservation works only for trains with optional reservation system, and in the text it says only ÖBB trains. You have to book a reservation till 11th of September to use this free reservations.

They ask 20€ in second class and 30€ in 1st class.Via travel.b-europe.com (for trains within france) it is not possible.

For trips between Paca and Occitanie (South West) is it valid.For more information please check on Twitter.@Nanja @Marion Can you please check if here is a mistake by the regions in France or can they say, Interrail/Eurail is not more valid?

HiTrenitalia has two new train “lines”the train from Bologna at 17:00 to S. Benedetto del Tronto on Fridays and the train from S. benedetto del Tronto on Sundays starting at 15:15 accept only Ticket with their special tariff, so Interrail/Eurail are not valid. on Fridays the Regionale Veloce 18131 “MARCHE LINE” starting in Piacenza (15:15) via Bologna (17:00) and arriving via Ancona to S. Benedetto del Tronto at 20:42.on Sundays the Regionale Veloce 18128 “MARCHE LINE” starting in S. Benedetto del Tronto (18:27) via Ancona and Bologna (21:52) to Piacenza (23:25). This MARCHE LINE trains accepts only Tickets that have this train on the Ticket. All other regional tickets like normal fare tickets or abo, are not valid. They do not explain if this is also the case for Interrail/Eurail but it doesn’t look like it will. I will ask directly Trenitalia for information, but their customer “care” is known for nonsense answers. In this case it only is the case for 2 trains on weekends. All other
Due to a strike of National Rail in United Kingdom, trains can be cancelled or delayed at 21, 23 and 25 June. If also Eurostar is affected is not known at the moment. Railway workers to strike over three days in June - BBC News
Hello Interrailers and Eurailer!How you (almost) all know, in Germany and Austria you don’t have to book a reservation, but you can via bahn.com (4€/trip 2nd class) and tickets.oebb.at (3€/train) via seat only option. Some trains are now and I presume this summer very full. Please check before boarding via bahn.com the utilization forecast for German trains and via fahrplan.oebb.at the utilization forecast note for Austrian trains. For trains that will be full you get a note with the text that a reservation is preferable to get a seat. Some trains now, have a note that due to that this trains are full, you only are allowed to get in the train with reservations. Without you have to leave the train.
Hey, I have good news for traveles to/in Italy. It is possible to book Interrail Reservations via ÖBB App or tickets.oebb.at (like Freccie 10€, IC 3€), without additional booking fee like via interrail.eu, eurail.eu or italiarail.com. I haven't try to book it yet but I can go till the paying site.Note: The reservation has to be printed on paper at home or collected at ÖBB Ticket Offices or ÖBB Ticket machines.
