Two compartments instead of one for sleeper from bergen to oslo

I am taking the sleeper from oslo to bergen next week and made a reservation via Interrail reservation service. After receiving the reservation via postal service I saw that I received two compartments (each for one or two passengers). We are only two passengers traveling, so one compartment would be fine.I made a call to vy (norwegian railway) and they told me to write an email. After one week I got the response that they haven’t made the booking so I should reach to the place where I made it to get a refund.On the interrail page it says, that it takes long to respond and online I can only delete the whole booking instead of just one compartment. What would you recommend to do? - What way of reaching to interrail would you suggest?I somehow think that I can not cancel one compartment. I double checked the interrail reservation page and did not see an option to choose how many compartments should be booked (see image). I think it would be good if it would be possible on the reservation

Does an not taken Reservation still take one Day off my interrail pass?

Hi dear Interrail Community,I have a question regarding the seat Reservation. Does an not taken Reservation still take one Day off my interrail pass? Or does it only count as one Day of my pass if I really take the train?Thanks for your answers !Hanna

Seat Reservations from Zagreb to Split (Croatia)

We want to travel from Zagreb to Split on the 07:35 train on 2nd July. In the Interrail reservation tool it’s saying reservations are required, but it won’t let me make a reservation. I get the same message if I search for the same journey on different days and at different times. Does this mean all the seats are reserved on all the trains?! Or will I be able to reserve seats at Zagreb Station when we arrive a couple of days before? Thanks for your help. Below is the message I’m seeing:Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.

Reservation by phone from Madrid to Toulouse

I want to go from Madrid to Toulouse. It says you can book a reservation by calling 72 hours before the train leaves until 24 hours before the train leaves. I will be stuck in Madrid if I can not get a reservation. How likely is it that I can book this train? Or will I get stuck even if I call 72 hours beforehand?

Me and my friend made seat reservations separately. Is there a way to add them together?

Dear Community, I bought your ticket for traveling around Europe. So I had planned my trip and booked seats in trains. But unfortunately I didn't add my friend Terezie that I was supposed to travel with.  Is there some possibility to add her seats to mine? or could you help somehow? Thank you for your help. Sincerely Tereza

Redirect reservation tickets through PostNL. They will arrive at home when I have left for my trip.

Hi there, I have reserved tickets from paris to barcelona and they are paper, so they are sent to my house in Australia. It looks like now I won’t be in australia when the tickets arrive, so I was wondering if it’s possible to divert them to my AirBnb address in Paris? It appears PostNL hasn’t received the shipment yet, so I’m hoping there’s still a chance. PostNL said to ask the sender to redirect, but it looks like Eurail aren’t responding to questions quickly enough… What can I do? Thanks in advance,David

Express train reservations in France

I wish I’d bought reservations for all French express trains, even trips where the planner makes it uncertain if one will be needed. I had to buy separate tickets because all the Interrail reservations were gone, even though there were plenty of places on the train.Seems like a bit of a scam…it adds a lot to some journeys as the reservations are for each leg.

No connections available from Lisbon to other destinations (France).

My group and I received the interrail pass and we try to plan our trip so we can book accommodation and etc. However, we could not find connections from Lisbon to other destinations in Europe. We have already tried Irun, Hendaye and Madrid, which were the ones recommended for us to start, but it always appears as unavailable. At the stations we are told that there are no trains outside of Portugal.Can you give us some kind of tip or place to go?

Print at Home for Eurostar & Thalys?

Hello!I’ve had a look on threads but most of them are for other types of trains!I have a interrail global mobile pass and I’m travelling from London to Amsterdam with Eurostar, with a change being with Thalys at Brussels.While I was booking/reserving the seats it was saying that I need to print it at home?but I’ve received both of them via e-tickets so do I not need to print them or do they need to check it alongside my interrail pass on the app? Thank you :)

Trips showing up on website but not on app

Hi,I seem to have a pretty big problem with my Eurail. Basically, most of the train journeys I’m interested in taking don’t show up when I search for them on the app. They do, however, show up on the website, but it appears I can’t add them to my pass from the website. So, to book a seat for my upcoming first journey of the travel (from Madrid to Ronda, on the 10th of May, at 3:05PM), I added the trip manually to my pass on the app, copying the information from what I saw on the website and triple-checking that it was accurate. I then went in person to the train station (Atocha, in Madrid), as instructed by Eurail, to try to book the ticket, but was told there was no way for them to book it because my manually-entered journey had no QR code. (After I add the journey to my pass by toggling the little QR code icon, I go to “My Pass” and click on “Show ticket”, but it says “No ticket for this date”.) Does anyone know why that’s happening and what I could do to fix it? I tried to ask Eurai

No reservation ticket received for a trip on Monday. What to do?

Hi,I made a reservation for a trip from Paris to Turin for next Monday 25/07, my money was taken but I did not receive any ticket or confirmation email. It’s been a month that I try to reach the assistance but I had only one response, asking me to give my reservation number, I answered that I did not have any, as I had mentioned but now I don’t have any news.So I wanted to book the trip again, but now it is unavailable on the website.Do you know by any chance if there is a way I can get that train on next Monday ? Or get the assistance to help me ?Thank you for your help,Léone

Aix en Provence to Barcelona - who runs the direct train?

Does anyone know who runs the direct train from Aix en Provence to Barcelona? I have purchased a reservation and have a paper ticket and have looked on SNCF and Renfe and searched online and can’t find the train anywhere.

Are Frecciargento tickets limited? Like with the SNCF TGV?

Are Frecciargento tickets limited? Like with the SNCF TGV? The employee at the counter in Gent Sint Pieters first said that she could not reserve seats for Italy. After I showed her my tickets from previous reservations she tried, she said, but according to her no more places available 😡😡😡😡 I then called B EUROPE customer service at 16:45, open until 17:00, and I get a tape that they are closed!Scandalous!

Reservation - how to make and where to check if it is available?

Hi! I'm travelling with Interrail through Europe for the first time. I'm a little dissapointed about the fact that I can't make any reservation (not to Paris, not to Basel, etc). I cant imagine that every single train has not even 1 place left. Tomorrow my trip goes from Paris to St.Niklaus (Switserland) and I cant take the trains without reservations. Does anyone has an idea what I can do and where I can check if theres a ticket available?

Need a Pass Cover number!!

Hello, I need a Pass Cover Number in order to book a seat reservation on the Thalys website. I have a digital pass (which doesn’t have this number) I’ve seen that the Interrail Team are able to provide people with one. The tickets are being booked up quite quickly!!!!!!

I bought some reservations on website, that don't show up in app. will I have troubles?

I only found out that, the reservations from the website don't show up on the app, after I had already booked them. I think I accidentally created two trips (one on the website and one in the app), but I only have one pass. Should I just show the inspector my ticket reservations from the website alongside my pass on my phone? Will I have troubles? I'm afraid that if I delete the trip from the website, my reservations will be gone and I can't delete the trip on my phone (although I haven't bought anything yet).Also different question but I made a mistake while putting in my city of birth for my account on the website. Is that going to be a problem? After all the mistake doesn't show up on the tickets and everything else e.g. my ID, name, etc. are all correct.Thanks for your help!

Eurail seat reservation + Interrail pass. Is that a problem?

Hi community! I have an Interrail pass and was making a seat reservation for a TGV, when the app forwarded me to the Eurail website instead. So now I have an activated Interrail pass + a Eurail seat reservation.Can I just show my Interrail pass on the day? Or will there be a trouble because of the mismatch?Would be grateful for your experiences:)
