Train connections & reservations

Hi there, I’m looking to book a one month interrail pass and am wondering if my journey from Scotland (my home country) to London and then onto the Eurostar to France would count as one outbound ticket and be included with the pass or if I would have to pay for a separate ticket to get from Scotland to London first ?  

I am planning a trip to Sweden and Norway. I did not find any trains on the interrailwebsite to cross the border. But on local websites there is a route with two trains and a bus connecting Bodo and Kiruna. Is the interrailpass valid on these trains? The first train from SJ NORD will take me from Bodo to Fauske station.The second train from VY NATTAG will take me from Narvik to Kiruna.Can I use the interrailpass or should i buy a separate ticket for these trains?   

My partner and I are wanting to go on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz. How do we reserve seats for this? On the website it only shows full price even when I put the Eurrail/Intereail Pass in the drop down box. Any advice welcome please 🙏🏻 

I want to book a sleeper reservation for Paris-Tolouse on May 28 and potentially back Tolouse-Paris June 7. I don't see reservations open for this train on the interrail reservation service. There's only a suggestion for a bus on the 28th. The option to buy a full price ticket on the official SCNF website doesn't show up as well. Does it mean it's just booked up on these days already? 

Question #1 - The Eurail app shows different routes/times than the website where I can book.  Specifically I’m trying to get from Salzberg Austria to Prague.  App showed a more convenient route, however, website shows inconvenient routes.  Travel date would be May 27th. Question #2 - I’m tall and prefer an aisle seat.  However, I keep getting assigned a window seat.  Can I change my preference or how do I go about getting an aisle seat?  

I'm going to Zagreb from Milano tomorrow and now this "Error-message" occurred, when buying the seat reservation for the first part of the trip (Milano to Trieste).It initially said that I don't need a reservation, but I'm not too sure now.Would love your opinions!

Hi everyone, I have an 8 day Italy interRail pass for this Summer and would like some advice. What is the best way to get from Naples to Sorrento using the pass? On journey planner, no train stops show for Sorrento or the Amalfi coast.  Thanks 

Hello.Does anyone know the position of the private operator vlexx who operate trains in Rheinland-Pfalz, Hesse and Saarland regions? It’s not listed here: https://www.diebefoerderer.de/tarife/angebot/internationale-passangebote/ unlike most (all?) private operators across Germany. vlexx is a subsidiary of Regentalbahn (Die Länderbahn) according to Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlexx The Die Befoerder site for railpasses only lists Alex and Vogtlandbahn, not vlexx under Die Länderbahn.Any German experts able to help?Thanks.

Hi Guys, I am planning an interrail and so that the trains from Belgrade to Thessaloniki are no longer running. Therefore, I was wondering what would be the best way from Zagreb to Thessaloniki.

Are seat reservation prices static or can they increase as the date to travel gets nearer?

Hi,I am thinking of taking the train from Amsterdam to Munich which leaves at 20:28 and arrives at 6:03 am the next day. It is necessary to change trains between 23:40 and 23:55. My question is, if there is a delay on the second train, will it be necessary to use 2 days of the interrail pass?Thanks 

Where it says ‘domestic trains’, does that mean for only trains inside that country (this is for Germany) or does it mean for all of Europe. Or, does international mean anywhere outside of the country that these rules apply (the rest of Europe). Eg. if I were to travel from Berlin to Brussels would I be able to take any of the Domestic trains or would it have to be international? 

Hey, so i´ve tried to get my reservation for a train from Budapest to Prague on the 10th September from 9.40 am to 16.42 pm. But this doesn´t work saying i should try again later.Then i´ve tried to book reservations for a T3 - Sleeper on the same day but in the evening which should arrive in Prague by 8.42 am. But when i try to book this one it gives me an error code when i try to review my booking just before checkout. I really need some help because i also can´t book a hostel whilst not knowing if I need it or not when i travel by night train. Thanks, Luca

Hello everyone,I’ll be travelling with interrail this summer, together with my friends, and we’re looking at the different ways of reaching Split from Bratislava/Vienna. The easiest way would be using the Euronight train going Bratislava-Vienna-Split, but I can’t find any way of booking reservations on the train for a lower price than the ticket itself. ÖBB, which is the only site where I find tickets to the train, doesn’t change the price when the interrail/eurail discount is chosen. Is this night train not included in the pass/sold out on pass holder seats, or is there a way to get reservations without paying for a whole ticket? If there isn’t, what are the other options for a (low-cost) connection between these cities using only one travel day? From what I can tell, there’s night trains from Zagreb and Budapest to Split, but these seem even harder to book reservations for. I’ve been looking specifically at the train departing 28th of June, but this appears to

Hey, I just created a whole tour through europe in the summer and now i want to make all the necessary reservations but im getting into big trouble whilst doing. My train from Bruxelles-Midi to London St.Pancras on the 29th August from 17.21-19.00 says that the reservation is `temporarily unavailable´ and i thin it can´t be overbooked cause all the other trains that day do perfectly fine. Also i tried getting the reservation via the offiial website for the eurostar but there this train doesnt even exist what makes it even worse. This is not the only train with which i got trouble so i would really appreciate some help. Thanks, Luca

The wife and I will be traveling from Canada to Paris and making our way to Bad Hofgastein later in May. We purchased two eurail global passes and have found the trains that work best for us.  Using the Rail Planner app I am able to link my pass and plan my trip. However it seems nearly impossible to reserve our seats. I believe the error we made is we purchased the rail passes through Rail Europe and not directly from Eurail. Is there a way around this or will reserving the seats at CDG be a fairly quick and easy process? We have approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from plane landing to when our preferred train leaves.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I will be purchasing a Eurail Pass for a trip in June and July. I have been looking at the destinations and some of the places I plan to go do not show up in the Rail Planner, but I know that trains go there because I have traveled on them before. Can I use my Eurail Pass to travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Berchtesgaden? Neither one of those destinations comes up when I search for them in the Rail Planner. I want to make sure of this before purchasing my passes. Also, if they do not show up in Rail Planner and I can indeed use Eurail Pass to travel there, how do I make reservations if they destinations do not appear in the Rail Planner. Thanks.

Desde la app me aparecen diferentes descuentos por comprar un pase global pero a la hora de querer gozar del mismo no me lo permite. Desde la empresa de ferry no me dicen nada y quisiera saber si alguien sabe como funciona bien.Muchas gracias 

March 16th I have booked reservations for a train on May 5th that had to be sent physically to me in the UK. The next day I have received a track and trace code. On the track and trace page however it doesn’t show any progress. I have replied to the first email on April 9th, and received an automated response that it was very busy and they needed more time on April 13th. Since then I haven’t received any email, so I have sent them a DM on Twitter on April 20th, a couple of hours later I got a response that they would check and follow up. I have reminded them yesterday morning, and today, but haven’t got any response since. I don’t see any phone number on the website and don’t know how to reach them. Does anyone have a phone number or a place I could go in London or Amsterdam?

Hello everyone,Looking to book reservations for the Euronight 50467 from Innsbruck to Prague but am finding this error. It does not appear to be booked up because I get this error for all days in the coming months. If I check out the alternative ways to reserve a seat on this train, I am given the option to book it in-person at a train station in Europe but I would like to avoid this if possible since I know night-trains often become fully reserved close to the day of. What can I do? Thanks for the help.
