Eurail network map - can I use other networks than on the map?

Hi,There is this map https://www.eurail.com/en/plan-your-trip/railway-map that shows a train network for the Eurail and there is also a post in the forum with a long list of train networks that you can travel on .My question is - if I’m in Amsterdam and want to go to Copenhagen - I looked at the Eurail map and I would have to go Amsterdam → Berlin → Hamburg → Copenhagen which seems like you go backwards a bit from Berlin → Hamburg.Is there a better option (can I go Amsterdam → Hamburg → Copenhagen)? I have the two month unlimited pass - can I use any of the networks that were posted in above reservation post? Thanks.

Trains from Warsaw to Wrocław

Hi,On the Eurail map it looks like there is a direct train from Warsaw to Wroclaw.But when checking out the rail planner the trains seem to go indirect from Warsaw -> Posnan > Wroclaw.Just wondering if anyone has done this recently. Thanks

Another Hamburg to Copenhagen thread

Hi,I was trying to book a seat reservation for the IC 394 form Hamburg → Copenhagen on the Eurail site and https://www.bahn.de/ but had problems like others. I read this post I was hoping to clarify what to do.Is this the website to book on https://travel.b-europe.com/dsb-rail/en/reservation-only#TravelWish? Does that get you all the way from Hamburg → Copenhagen and back again?Or do you need to split up the journey and make seat reservations on the Germany side and then on the Denmark side? Thanks

Ticket advice for travelling in Poland

Hi, I bought a ticket from the DB reisezentrum from Berlin to Warsaw on the EC.I read some of the forum posts - but was after clarification please.Once I’m in Warsaw, how do you arrange seat reservations? I can put the journeys into My Trips but is there a specific train company in Poland that should be used? And is it always paper tickets?And I know there aren’t really any trains atm going to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc. But in the south direction to Budapest, Vienna, etc is everything running pretty standard?Thanks

Travelling from Germany to Poland and paper tickets. How to book?

Hi, I’m trying to get from Germany to Poland and tried booking online with https://www.bahn.de/ and checked the Eurail site and it says you need a paper ticket.I’m currently in Hamburg. Do I need to find a DB ticket office somewhere in Hamburg? If anyone knows where that might be, that would be great.Thanks

Reserving seats directly with a train company (Db Bahn) and QR codes

Hi,I’m using a global pass (mobile).Previously, I’ve booked seat reservations with Eurail but this time did it directly from www.bahn.de.I received a copy of the seat reservations in my email and downloaded the DB app and the seat reservations are there but there is no QR code.I was just wondering whether I need a QR code and if I have done something wrong.Thanks

What is travelling like using Lux buses in Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania?

Hi,I have a global pass and was thinking of heading up to Finland and then heading to Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania but saw that Eurail is disrupted in this region, although there are buses available.Was wondering if anyone had travelled on the buses and what it was like.Or if anyone has an opinion on best way to move around that region at the moment.Thanks

Could I please get help re: using printed tickets and a mobile pass

Hi,I have a global mobile pass for 15 days travel over 2 months and have downloaded the Rail Planner app onto my Android device (Samsung). I have also downloaded the SNCB app for b-europe tickets.I have bought a few tickets for travel from both Eurostar and b-europe using my laptop.My first date of travel is this Tues July 12th, 2022. I have activated the mobile pass for that day so it says 1/15 travel days used. The ticket I purchased for the 12th July London → Paris trip was through Eurail/Eurostar via their website on my laptop. I have the printed tickets.I have bought other tickets eg Paris → Brussels. The b-europe tickets appear with a QR code in the SNCB app (but not in the Rail Planner app).I am confused about what to do next. My questions are: Even though I have a hardcopy of the printed tickets for the 12th July purchased from Eurostar - do I need to get an electronic version of those tickets on my phone in the Rail Planner app? From the 16th July I next go from Paris → Bruss

When is the last time I can exchange/upgrade my mobile pass?

Hi, I’m meant to be travelling at 6am tomorrow. I haven’t yet activated my mobile pass. I have a reservation for London → Paris. I’m thinking of being away longer than originally thought and thinking of changing my 15 day pass to the unlimited version over 2 months.Am I still able to do that now (6pm CET)?Is the process that I buy the new pass and request a refund for the old pass? And am I likely to get refunded for the old pass? Just a bit nervous about the refund.I emailed Eurail earlier but got a reply about trains in Italy which was not what I was asking about. I’ve emailed again - but advice would be great. Thanks

Purchased a reservation ticket with b-europe but it wasn't confirmed

Hi. Not a specific Eurail problem I guess - but purchased a ticket with b-europe.com to go from London to Paris with my Eurail pass and the payment went through and was deducted from my bank account but got a message on the b-europe site that the ticket wasn’t confirmed. I then got an email from b-europe saying actually the ticket is confirmed but there were no tickets to download and the email said I was only charged the 4 euro booking fee (even though the full amount was deducted from my bank account). And when I go back to check my tickets on the b-europe website there is no ticket from London to Paris.Has anyone had any problems with b-europe today (8th July)?Thanks

Pass cover generator for Eurail is generating an interail number

Hi,I’m using b-europe.com and trying to purchase a ticket.I have a Eurail global pass. I noticed 3 days ago a post in the forum that says the pass cover number generator is live. I clicked the link https://www.eurail.com/en/book-reservations#/generatePassCoverNumber which is for Eurail but when I put in my pass number I get back a number that starts with the letter ‘I’. I think this might be a mistake because b-europe is expecting an ‘E’ at the start I think and I have a Eurail global pass.Thanks
