Travel/Train Advice: Budapest-Croatia, and general

Greetings,I am looking for advice for travel arrangements by rail from Budapest to Croatia (destination to be determined, based on ease of travel). We have 4 days to spend and our next stop will be Venice. A friend recommended Pula.It is looking like trains to Pula or Rijeka are upwards of 10 hours in duration and are just generally, more difficult to get to. Is there a sleeper car? Is there an easier way to get to Croatia from Budapest? Is there somewhere else we should consider visiting instead?

Caledonian Sleeper for two but one interrail

Hi all!I am looking to book a night on the Caledonian Sleeper, but I am going to travel with a friend who does not have an interrail pass, he lives in the UK so it’s not a possibility sadly.I asked their customer service what would be the best way to arrange this, and they said I can book a single room supplement just for me, but to tell the train crew before boarding that I have a second person traveling with me. They would then charge us an additional £50.Does anyone have any experience with this? I don’t doubt what their support told me but it feels like a backdoor to save some costs, which I’ll gladly take of course.

reserve seats

Is it a problem during the train check if you have a 1st class train ticket but booked the seat reservation for the 2nd class because there was no free seat in 1st class?

ICE 314 Frankfurt am Main - Bruxelles Midi (august 12th) lost ?

So what happend?I’m checking my seat reservations and I have two seat reservations for the 12:26 ICE 314 train from Frankfurt am Main to Brussels Midi (South station) on Saturday 12th of August. From there I have two seat reservations for 15:52 THA 9351 to Rotterdam Central station. I bought the ICE seat reservations at OBB. I’m checking the exact train times and the 12:26 ICE 314 is completely missing from the schedules. So what is the best thing to do? How can I change my seat reservations for both the ICE and the THA ?Any help?Thanks in advance !

Train from stockholm to Narvik

I am trying to book the train from Stockholm to Narvik which leaves around 18:10 pm. we are 4 passengers and would like to book the own second class compartment. However we are getting assigned 1 compartment for the 4 passengers when the second class has only 3 beds ? How to book to compartments instead? If we book first for 2 people and then again for another 2 , how can we be sure to be assigned compartments near to each other ?

seat reservation in England

I would like to take a train from Edinburgh to London and under "reserve seats" on the Interrail website it says that the seat must be reserved for €6 but must be reserved from an external site. If I go to the LNER or GWR website, I can reserve a seat for free, but not on ACP Rail. What is the right option to securely reserve the seat?

I’ve been trying to make reservations for travel from Paris to Caen on Oct. 7, 2023 for days. I just keep getting error messages. What good is a Eurail pass if it’s impossible to make reservations. I want to make reservations from St. Lazare to Caen on Oct. 7 leaving at 11:00 arriving Caen at 13:00.I’m very frustrated with your reservation.

Global pass impreso

I have the global pass impress, and I wanted to know about the train transfer like, for example: I want to go from Bologna to Salzburg, and the option without reservations is doing 3 transfers; In the Mytrip section in the pass, I have to aim the transfers in the same day as trips?

Reservation, Pass activation and day ticket

Hello,I booked a reservation (for Eurostar, with a 4 days global pass) and received the electronic ticket by email.I don’t understand how it is linked to my pass. What I mean is: do I need an activated pass with a day ticket generated for this day as well, while using my reservation? Or, because of the reservation, a travelling day will be automatically subtracted from my pass?Thank you very muchJulien

Geneva to Paris Lyon seat reservation

Hi! My family and I are planning to travel to 6:29 Geneva to 9:42 Paris Lyon tomorrow (We’ll be coming from Zermatt). It requires a seat reservation, but I can’t buy it directly from the eurail website. I’ve found the train tickets to other websites such as SNCF and b-europe but the eurail pass isn’t showing up as a discount card. I’ve found thalys and eurostar pass fare website where I can pick the eurail as discount card but Geneva isn’t showing up as a departure station. Please help! I think we can buy the seat reservation on the station based on Eurail but we’re scared that we might have to pay more than $190 for 6 people (the $ showing on eurail for seat reservation).

eurostar departure time change

I have a reservation for the eurostar from London to Paris next Saturday. The reservation I have paid for is for the 09.24 train. However there is not a departure at that time any more, its at 09.31. The number of the 09.31 train is the same as it is on the reservation for the 09.24 train so I'm assuming they have altered the timetable. I haven't had an email. Do you think I need to do anything?

Seat reservation not available Vienna to Munich 28 August

Hi, I have paid for tickets from Vienna to Munich on 28 August via RJX booked through OBB. However, I am unable to buy the seats and the obb website says “Tickets not available” .I have checked for other timings for the direct route via RJX and all of them have the same message. My train departure at 8am is busy and there is a message warning that there will be no seats if I do not reserve them. I have also tried buying the seats through DB and it has the same message that ‘reservation not possible’ .Are the trains really filled to the brim already and I will have to cancel the tickets and look for alternatives with connections that seem to have seats ? Or should is there some track works resulting in delays in making seats reservations possible? Appreciate your help and advice pls! Have good day !

Help with going from Interlaken to Florence

Hello, I’m trying to travel from Interlaken to Florence on Aug 26th, but seeing construction on many of the routes. If I avoid them, then I’m only left with one route with three train changes. Below are the routes I’v been looking at:Interlaken → Spiez → Milano → Florence (construction) Interlaken → Zurich → Milano → Florence (construction) Interlaken → Luzern → Lugano → Milano → FlorenceQuestions I have:Would it be best to avoid routes with construction? Do I have to go through immigration at any of the stations? Im worried about time and being able to catch the next train. Are there any other routes with less train changes? Any discounts that I could use for this trip? (I’v been using sbb.ch and trenitalia) Thank you so much for the help 🙏
