Hello everyone,

I bought 2 Global Passes (not activated yet).

I want to book 2 Reservations (because it is mandatory) for a train from Basel SBB to Paris on 03.06.2022 and also on the same from Paris to London.

Also for the way back I need to book these trains in advance.

Somehow when I use the “book reservations”-tool on the eurail.com-website I can´t find any

trains. It is just loading forever.

What can I do?

Only the 8.31 train from Paris to London has availabilty on 03/06/2022 and only in 1st class.

From Lille the 10.24 train to London has availability in both 1st and 2nd class.

But no later trains, sorry. And both not possible from Basel in one day.

You can also book by phone at SNCF:

 Press #85 for English, no booking fees, reservations are sent via e-mail.
