Hi community, 

I am planning a trip where I need to travel from the UK to France (via Eurostar) on a specific day - 12th September 2022.

I am aware that I need to have a reservation to travel on the Eurostar with an Interrail pass. However, when I try to use the reservation tool to check if reservations, I’m not sure because it says the pass reservations have ‘mostly sold out’ - I only need 1 so as long as they are not completely sold out I’m fine!? 

 

 

I don’t want to get a pass until I know I can travel.

 

I have read some other threads in the forum about using the rail operators websites to check reservation there but as far as I understand Eurostar does not sell reservations without tickets. Tickets available but that doesn’t mean they would have Interrail reservations.

Interrail themselves don't seem to be interested in showing availability before you buy a pass.

For Eurostar however, you can check here:

https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass

It will only show trains with available seats. Keep clicking on “Later trains” if you don't see any.
