Hey, in august i will be interrailing for the 1st time with 2 other friends, i was making the seat reservations until I stopped because I didn't know how to continue

 

A train according to Interrail requires seat reservations, but they're no longer available on the Interrail website, so I go to the site listed under "more information" -> the Czech site.
However, the site doesn't have this train (perhaps because Interrail doesn't support this organization, so it doesn't cover the train?).
The Czech site (where seat reservations must be made) shows a train from 3:16 PM to 7:23 PM with train number EC 177.
 

While Interrail shows a train from 2:47 PM to 7:23 PM with the same train number.
- Both stations and dates are the same.
How is this possible? And how am I supposed to make seat reservations? Just on the Czech website? Since they're the same train numbers, are they thereby also the same trains?

 

i hope i made my story clear 

bye

Alright so there are engineering works in Germany and CĎ hasn't received the memo yet. 14:47 departure is correct.

I'd book seat reservations for the "15:16" through ČD (seat map!), though keeping in mind departure will actually be at 14:47 from Berlin Hbf. You might or might not get notified.

Please give route and travel date for advice. ČD website should be more reliable than what Interrail or Rail Planner say.
