Average price of reservations and short connections

People! I have two questions and I really need a little help. I’m thinking about choose the Global Pass for a 30 days trip. My first question is related to the seat reservations. How much it costs for example 2 class London to Belgium? Or an avarage value. Any answer will help me. The second question is wether I can travel by train in tha same city, for example Paris to Paris or Madrid to Madrid.  I really appreciate your answers!!

Connection time at Montpellier Sant Roc

Hi, We want to travel from Barcelona to Geneva on Thursday 29 June.The suggested route is:10.33 Barcelona to Montpellier Sant Roc arriving at 13:41.13.53 Montpellier Sant Roc to Lyon Part Dieu arriving at 15:51.16.38 Lyon Part Dieu arriving at Geneva at 18:35. I am concerned because the connection time at Montpellier is only 12 minutes. We are a family of six on a five week trip, so will have a reasonable degree of luggage - probably four suitcases.Is the connection time in Montpellier Sant Roc feasible?If we miss the connection in Montpellier Sant Roc at 13:53 because the Barcelona train is late will we be allowed to get on the 14:51 (ie fact they transfer our reservations from the 13:53 to the 14:51)? Would really appreciate any advice re: the above.

In-Station Night Train Reservations? (+ how does it work?)

Hi! I have a few questions about reservations, more specifically night trains. I’m planning to take a night train from Warsaw Central to Budapest (IC407), and I’ve found Polrail and Czech Transport websites to book the reservations for a sleeper. The only thing is, that the shipping is so pricey and I’m anxious I won’t get them in time. Is it possible to book a bed or couchette in station in Warsaw Central? I’ll be traveling mid-June. Another question I have, is how is the station reservation booking process? Even for normal seats. Do you just show your Interrail pass and the train you want to take?  This is my first Interrail trip, so I am a bit confused and anxious about reservations!

reservation Haparanda Sweden to Narvik Norway 11th July

Dear helper, The 11th of July we want to catch the 7.34 train from Haparanda to Narvik. But this one can book only to half May! There is no reservation to make on the planner. Does anyone know about this connection? Is it fully booked soon if free? We'll leave from the Netherlands at 30 June and all the other reservations for Sweden and Norway and Germany are booked. What is with this one? (Fortunately in Finland one can travel without reservations)Have fun with travelling!Froukje

Intercity Train Seat reservation from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam Central

Hello, I was trying to add journey in Rail planner from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam Central on 19th April at 6.45 departure and returning on the same day at 18.28 pm for a day trip. This seems to be a 2.50 mins long journey and  a direct one too.However, I came across the supplement required for the same needs to booked either on-board, online or at the station. I tried to book it online but couldn't find any proper instructions on the site.So the question is, is this mandatory? If yes,how to go ahead?If No, then I am very concerned that without any seat reservation, we might not be able find any available seat in the train.It can be fully occupied. Or in an unfortunate case, extra amount to pay if caught travelling without proper seat reserved tickets.Kindly guide.Thanks in advance.

Eurail timetable from UK doesn't match with National Railway

I know that Eurail timetable has a low frequency update rate, however, the timetable was updated 3 days ago and most of the trains from the planner doesn't match with trains from National Railway. Hence, I don't know if the planner is capturing trains that the National Railway doesn't or if the planner has trains that doesn't exist.

Correct Pass Cover Number Does NOT work?

We have two 1st Class Global Eurail Passes and trying to make seat reservations. We are entering the correct Pass Cover Numbers, (E+8digits), on the Eurail website reservation site, BUT the Eurail website response on both is “Pass Cover Number doesn't look right”…..What is going on? The Pass Cover Numbers are correct...we double checked over and over.Eurail’s customer service is also rather useless…espcially that stupid bot.Is there any other way to reserve seats on TGV train (TGV9210) and THA train (THA9315) I am really finding these very expensive Eurail Passes to be very frustrating.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.ThanksJacqui

Using a TGV route between Saarbrücken and Mannheim

Hi, I want to travel from Saarbrücken to Mannheim and the interrail app suggests TGV9551 at 10:58 but does not say it requires reservations. Is this true?? I thought all TGV travel needed reservations? Is it because it's completely within Germany that it doesn't? Thanks,Q

Reservation Bucuresti-Budapest. Can it be booked at the station?

Hello, I have a question about making a reservation from bucuresti to budapest. We first made a reservation through the interrail reservation page, which led to paper tickets being sent. Unfortunately the tickets were not accepted by delivery and are being returned to sender now. We don't have enough time to reserve paper tickets again. We tried to reserve tickets through the Hungarian and Romanian railway company but then we have to pay full price (ticket and reservation) because we can't manage to get discount with our mobile passes. Is there someone who can help us with booking the reservation directly at the railway company? / Does anyone know if we can get these tickets at the Romanian (or Turkish, as we are now in Istanbul) station? Thank you in advance!Krista

Stopover in a night train after midnight

We got the 5 days train pass, but there are some that are overnight. If a train leaves before 00:00 but has a stopover after 00:00 which we’ll have to switch trains, does that count as two days of travelling or just one? Thank you

Night train reservation Italy

Hi allI have an interrail global pass and a couchette reservation for the Intercity Notte from Milano Centrale to Bari for this coming Saturday. The plan is to come from Switzerland during the day and then catch the night train in the evening in Milan.Now I am thinking to go even a bit further to Piacenza using day trains, have dinner with a friend there and then catch the night train from there (Piacenza is its first stop after Milano). Do you think this is possible? Or will my reservation expire if I’m not on the train in Milan?Does anyone have any experience here?Many thanks in advance for your help!Kind regardsSebastian

seat reservation

I'm sure that the answer to this has already been answered but here goes ;I reserved 2 first class seats on an Avanti West Coast train to London Euston. The seats allocated are not acceptable but the company say they cannot change them and suggest I contact rail staff on the day of travel who may be able to help.My question is this; Is there any way of selecting your seat from a seating plan akin to that on aircraft travel?

Lost in the process. Please help with the clearest instructions possible

Greetings. I am planning to travel with a family of 7 members to Europe in 2 months. I want to buy the Eurorailglobal pass for 4 days.  We are planning leaving Rome to Lausanne as the 1st trip. How do I do this? I have check the Frecciarossa. But I am confused if just with the eurorailglobal pass is enough or if they take it to travel.  I know I have to pay faside for a seat reservation, but when I enter the dates in the Eurorailglobal pass it does not show the dates I need yet.  Also, I do not feel confortable downloading the app to obtain the tickets due to the phone connection. I am a tourist. I want to print the EURORAIL global passes if I ended up buying them. I do not know if I must use the train or the plane. Please advise and explain. Thanks in advance for your help.

Train arrival searching engine or paper (poster) timetables

Hi,I don't know if anyone has encountered a similar problem, so I'll describe it here:I'm in the early stages of planning my trip with Interrail. I know that I want to go to place Y (let's say: Barcelona, for example), and I know that the train to that city leaves at 8pm from city X (let's say: Paris, for example).So, I plan a 6-hour stop in Paris, and I want to check the trains that arrive in Paris at 2pm. At the station in such a situation, I go to read the paper timetable, and there I have this information. But where can I find such information on the internet?My problem is that I can't search for a specific connection to Paris (let's say: form Amsterdam, for example), because I don't know yet whether I'll be leaving from Amsterdam, Rome, Cologne or Zurich (or yet another city).For PKP (Polish railways) I can search for poster timetables (identical to the schedule at the station) here: https://portalpasazera.pl/en/Plakaty (you have to enter the station names in Polish, for example:

Ravenna to Bologna with Romagna line

Hello everyone, I’ve been doing some research on potentially getting an Italy rail pass for a trip this summer. However, I’m having trouble finding a trip from Ravenna to Bologna on the Eurorail site. I can find trains for that leg on other sites. Romagna runs that trip and they seem to be a private train company. Does anyone know if they are covered in the rail pass or would I have to buy a separate ticket? Thanks in advance.

Old Pass nr. is noted in Seat Reservation

Hi everyone! My friends and I bought a One Country interrail pass a few weeks ago. Since we want to travel from Switzerland to Florence, we had to make seat reservations (Trenitalia). I bought these also via the Interrail website.But later we realized that we bought the wrong pass. So we cancelled it and bought a new one (Global Pass). When I checked the tickets from Trenitalia today, I saw that the number of our old pass is still noted there.I assume this will cause problems at ticket inspection? Is it possible to change this and rewrite it to our new number? Kind regards,
