Hi, I am planning our trip to Europe and need some guidance with booking times. I’ve purchased two Eurail passes and worked out, as best I can, the trips I need to make. Where there are many trains each day, I have chosen the one that is most likely to be suitable. What I am after is:
- a reality check – i.e. is there anything that’s obviously wrong or isn’t going to work
- Which trains do I need to book in advance, versus those I can reasonably leave till later
- Which ones should I link to my Eurail pass and which ones should I just pay separately.
Any help would be appreciated
