I’m trying to book seats for the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam to my Partner and I but next to the train departure and arrival times it says +1 day. I know this is usually when a train runs past midnight but in this instance it does not as the train leaves London at 1100 and arrives at 1620 making for only a 4 hour train journey and it is a direct train would this end up using a second travel day or will it be fine as I don’t get off the train and change and is this just an error the rail planner app is using. The date we will be travelling is March 5th and need urgent help as we’ve had a big trip cancel on us and are now scrambling to organise everything and reserve seats to make up for what we’ve lost. Thank you in advance.
Rail Planner app confusion
Best answer by thibcabe
I believe this is a bug on Rail Planner: perhaps you should update your app? Mine doesn’t say +1. It might be a bug related to timezones if you’re in NZ right now. I know that happened in the past…
Note that adding the train on Rail Planner isn’t needed to book seats. This step must only be done before boarding → it gives you a QR code which you present to staff (your “ticket”). I usually do it when I’m at the station.
For actually booking the seat reservations I’d recommend using Rail Europe (click on “add rail pass”) : no fees while eurail.com asks 2€ extra per person per train. You get a PDF which you’ll show onboard, or in the case of London Eurostar at the ticket gate before passport controls.
