Train order - do I have to get on a train where I left off?

Is it necessary that I take the next train at the same spot where I left the last one? Or is it allowed to travel otherwise in the meantime. For example: I travel to Berlin, now I chill some days. Does my next ride has to start in Berlin or is it allowed that my next ride is from Amsterd (because I travelled with a car in the meantime for example). Thanks guys!

AVE counter officer at Barcelona Sants request to see the app running on phone to be able to make a seat reservation, declaring this is consigned on the terms and conditions policy? is it true?

I'm having two problems with my Eurail pass: I’m not able to do a seat reservation in one of my journeys specific the one between Barcelona Sants - Madrid Puerta de Atocha on the 13th June 2022. I have contacted Eurail customer service about this, they explained that seat reservation between Barcelona Sants and Madrid Puerta de Atocha, have to be purchase on person at the station counter. However as seat reservations are recommended to be purchase at least two weeks prior to travel date, as not many spots are available for holders of Eurail pass, I don't have the chance to buy it until the day of my arrival and departure (13 June), when I need to continue my trip coming from Paris same day.I asked a relative living in Paris to come to a TGV station to purchase a reservation seat on my name, for Paris - Barcelona journey. The TGV officer was very helpful and seat reservation purchase was success.However, I asked another relative in Barcelona to do the same at AVE office at Barcelona San

Reservations. Enough time when making reservations in person?

Hi,As it seem to be almost impossible to reserve seats in France and Spain, either it is not possible, or it is, or its just sent by post, how much time is needed to reserve in person?For example, if I arrive in Perpignan the 15th June, will I most likely? be able to book reservation on a train from Perpignan to Zaragoza the 17th?(SNCF) I mean, that's almost 2 days from I arrive in Perpignan, till I leave. Before Perpignan, I will be in Strasbourg for one night (14th-15th), if I go to the ticket office there (14th), will I be able to book reservations there? now its 3 days before? is it not enough time? who are all these people booking up all reservations, in person! all over Europe? :))) Im traveling with a small dog, so its making me a little bit extra stressed over the situation.

1. Impossible to receive paper tickets as backpacker 2. Any ways to Avoid Hidden Fees?

Hello All!I hope this reaches you all well :). Two quick but very important questions: How can one reliably get paper tickets (in the case when e-tickets aren’t available) when they do not have an address to receive them (I am not in one place for more than 2-3 nights as a traveller/backpacker)? I’ve seen some suggestions in my searches, but wanted to solidify my understanding of the issue/solutions, because it seems so counter-intuitive to the proposed freedom and flexibility of a Eurail/Interrail pass. I say 'reliably' because getting paper tickets at train stations as a foreigner seems complicated (e.g., which company or station must I go to, will we be able to converse in the same language effectively?), and more importantly it puts me at risk of trying to book a train too late (e.g., I show up and it's full). Another option I saw recommended: searching through various providers and then calling them. Again, doing this chasing, then maybe waiting on hold, just to get an e-ticket

Travel from Zagreb - Split. How to book?

Hello fellow travellers!I am trying to book the night jet from Zagreb - Split on the 25th of June. I cannot manage to find the prize for the seat reservation or how to book it. Tried with Bahn.de and so on. I looked up previous questions here in the community, and is it correct that this seat reservation can only be made on a Croatian train station? What do you think, should I be worried that the train will be fully booked? Is there any other way for me to secure my seat reservation?Thank you so much for taking your time :)//Sanna

Travel-b reservations - need a pass cover number

Good evening, in 2020 I won a paper interrail pass but I couldn't use it due to the covid. Last year I was sent a digital one which I put in the Interrail app. I am trying to make a reservation for a train in France from travel-b and I am asking for the cover pass number. The digital pass does not have this type of code but the paper one of 2020 does. Can I insert the one of 2020? Is it the same pass from 2021 but in paper format? Because otherwise I don't know what code to enter in travel-b

Making SNCF train reservations - mail delivery too late

Hello,I’m looking to make a train reservation for two travellers on 12.6 from Barcelona to Paris. Specifically the TGV 9708 at 9:10. However, when I go to make the reservation, they say they will not ship it to me because it will take too long to deliver by post. I tried going on the SNCF page for tickets, but I wasn’t able to find a place to use the Eurail Pass on the website. Any help would be appreciated. I looked at the seewulf post, but it didn’t seem to have anything for the SNCF site. Also, I’m in Germany. Tried going to my local DB station, but they just looked at me blankly and said there was nothing they could do. I also tried calling 0033 18494 3635 (which I think is SNCF) and they said, no the website is wrong, we can’t help you. So, I’m kind of at a loss, do I just show up early day of and try to get a ticket at the train station?

2nd time "outbound"

In between I came back to Holland (by plane). How does it work when I continue my trip: I check in with my regular ‘train checkin card (ov chip card)) to the border, but how do I find the exact border station and then I probably have to go off the train to check out (in Holland)? Or better to buy a ticket so I don’t have to check out...Biggest change is I go to England. Which station is the border station...Any advice / your experience is welcome. Thank you,

I was trying to find a way to get from Budapest to Greece, but on the app, no train stations appear.I tried to follow the tip from "MartinM" on a previous thread (Q: "Budapest to Bucharest, then the train from Bucharest to Sofia and then take a bus to Saloniki (20-25 euro) and then continue by train to Athens." U.), but no trains show from Budapest to Bucharest.Can someone suggest a route? Should I book this in a different platform?Thanks!

New night train from Stockholm to Hamburg Altona from 1st of September

Here is some information about the new night train that SJ will start running from Stockholm to Hamburg Altona on the 1st of September. The information webpage is unfortunately only available in Swedish, but there’s always Google translate to assist.https://www.sj.se/sv/reseinfo/sj-euronight.htmlThe train has seats, couchettes and sleepers. The price for a seat is from 155 SEK, a place in a 6-bed couchette is from 363 SEK and a place in a 4-bed couchette is from 467 SEK. A place in a 2-bed second class sleeper with a breakfast box is from 779 SEK. The price seems to be the same for a non-refundable and a refundable reservation.https://www.sj.se/en/home.html#/ Here you can make the reservation. Select “Interrial or Eurail” as railpass. As Pass Cover Number an I or E followed by any 8 digit combination will do. Right now there is a bug in the system that only gives the Interrail price on the first reservation if you make a return reservation in the same booking. I spotted that today and

Seat reservation in france; Nice - Paris, how to book?

Hi, I have a global pass and I am planning a train trip from Genoa to Paris on July 18th. The trip includes a stopover and using the Interrail booking tool I was able to book the Genoa-Nice route but not the Nice-Paris route. The site tells me this message: "not available from interrail.eu this seat reservation can’t be booked on our website.". How can I book this ticket? I do not live in France and it is not possible for me to go to the station in advance, except on the day of the journey when I arrive in Nice from Genoa, but I am afraid of not finding more seats that can be reserved. The train is the TGV 6162 INOUI at 14:16 on 18 July

My paper reservations won't arrive in time because of shipping errors. Can I somehow get them at the station?

So I booked my reservations with plenty of time in advance. Most are e-tickets but 2 of them are on paper: BUDAPEST-KELETI (Hungary) - BRASOV (Romania) BRASOV (Romania) - WIEN HBF (Austria)However, the postal service somehow has messed things up and my letter is being sent back due to an incorrect address issue. This means I will in all likelihood not receive them in time.So my question is whether I can somehow go to the station in Budapest to get my paper reservation based on my order number?Thanks,Duarte

Pass cover number for mobile pass

My girlfriend an I tried to book our reservations today and found out that we need our pass-cover numbers in order to book them on b-europe.com. The only way I found is that I am contacted by someone from eurail via private message. If that is true it would be great if someone would contact me so we can book our reservations as soon as possible.
