Hello, i am new to European train travel but i have a trip to Italy booked in August. The first leg of my trip is taking me from Milan to Rome on 23rd August, but when i search for the journey the train i want (08:30 from Milan Centrale) is showing along with the seat reservation costs but when i click to book i get the below message:

"No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable."

I find it hard to beleive that these seats have aold out, as they have only just become available, after months of checking. I am also positive that it is not something i am doing at my end as i have successfully managed to book other journeys from Rome to Naples and Naples to Florence. 

 

Can anybody offer any assistance?

Book your reservation on www.raileurope.com by indicating that you have a railpass. The Eurail reservation service often throws such errors.

Trains on the Milan - Rome mainline never sell out and you could do your reservations even a day before or so. There is a train every 15 - 30 minutes. But Trenitalia is always late in publishing their timetables and opening their reservations. Check again in a few weeks.

It is only showing the Italo trains which are not included in the pass. The Trenitalia servicees are not yet available to book for that date, they will be added at a later date.
