In Hauts-de-France, some TER are operated with TGV trains, labelled as TERGV, which require a supplement on normal TER tickets.
In the Railplanner, not all of these connections show up, and those that do, seem not to require a supplement with Interrail passes.
My questions:
1. do these trains require a supplement for IR passes?
2. is there a reason why not all connections are included in the Railplanner?
1., I think YES,as with any ticket you need this surcharge-BTW, its only 2€/ride and must be bought from the BLUE machines (=tickets for TER). I´ve done it once but there were no checks, so no hot experience from conductors (Duinkerken->Lille).
2.yes, the very first thing I´ve ever learnt about when computes came in this world: you can ONLY get out what someone has bothered to put in. There are no magic liiliputs that put everything they grasp in the big system, Some of the 100+ railways simply do not bother to put in all there offers and other only half or a few. Always-it has been told so many times, best to use planner of the railway concerned-and even then youĺl find that some are too lazy too bother much-or lack the money for proper paid IT-engineers. Next best is bahn.de, of german railways who do a quite good job in giving EUR-wide coverage. That of eurail is often outdated
I have passed it on to the relevant team to have it checked. Cheers,
