Can't book EuroNight train Hamburg Stockholm

Hi! I can’t find any way to make a reservation for Hamburg - Stockholm night train. I checked different dates in case it’s sold out, but I can’t reserve in March, April, or August.The date I want to travel : August 16th.Train: it’s a night train, I think it is called EuroNight.Operator: if I’m not wrong, OBB.I also checked OBB’s website, it says Ticket not available to purchase - or similar.I feel you need a PhD to book trains crossing borders haha!Anyone has any idea for me to be able to book this train? All help will be much appreciated! Also really interested in knowing if I can avoid or lower reservation fees by calling somewhere or booking at an operator site.Kindly,Xavier from Barcelona Interrail Reservation doesn’t allow to bookOBB reservation doesn’t allow to book

Boarding at next station - Can I board at Florence instead of Rome? - Trenitalia FRECCIAROSSA

Hello Eurail Experts,I am planning to travel from Rome to Venice. I already reserved the seats for Rome to Venice. As a plan B, I would like to visit Pisa and board the same train from Florance. Is this allowed in Trenitalia FRECCIAROSSA. Will my seat reservations still valid if I board at Florence instead of Rome?Thanks in advance!

Making a reservation for the Riviera Sleeper (summer 2023)

Hi everybody! I’m new to the community and planning my first solo Interrail to the UK this summer. I would like to include a trip with the Riviera Sleeper from London to Penzance in my trip. So far I’m finding it hard to find concrete information about making reservations on this train.My research shows that you can only book from 12 weeks in advance. Does anyone know if this is true? I would hate to miss a reservation by being ‘too late’. Also, it is not clear to me whether you can make that reservation from abroad (I live in Belgium). Has anyone tried this recently? What is the best way? As a millennial with severe phone anxiety, I would prefer to settle this online if possible…And last but not least: can anybody tell me the costs of this reservation? I know a seat is 6 euro, but I would like to know the prices of the cabins to decide whether it’s worth the price. I can’t seem to find a conclusive answer anywhere.So, to summarise: all Riviera Sleeper tips & tricks are welcome!Tha

Making GWR Riviera Night Sleeper reservations from abroad

Hello everyone,So, I’m having great trouble reserving a sleeper cabin on the GWR Night Riviera Sleeper. From the GWR website the reservation with an interrail ticket can’t be made. I called them up and they said that by phone they won’t book them anymore either (apparently this has been like this since a few months - they had trouble with mismatching passes).The main SBB station in Berne can’t book reservations anymore for most train companies in the UK either and the interrail website, when working, tells me that it can’t be booked through them either.On the phone GWR advised me to book directly from a station in the UK, however I fear that by the time I’m there there likely won’t be a cabin anymore.I believe it might be possible to have a friend in the UK book the reservation for me, but surely there must be some way that it can be done from abroad? Would it be possible to buy a regular ticket and have the ticket fee reimbursed?I’m sure someone has done similar and I hope there is a

Booking couchette

I would like to book a night train (couchette) in June (Basel to Copenhagen). Although it says that the train can be booked up to 90 days in advance, it seems to have run out of tickets and only shows me the option to reserve a seat. How can I reserve a couchette?

Cannot get seat reservation for Rotterdam - Antwerp Sat 22 April

Trying to book the ‘reservation needed’ leg (Rotterdam to Antwerp 9.58 train Sat 22 April 2023) of my Leiden to Bruges journey. Eurail site says no reservations available and can’t get any further with later trains (won’t go to ‘Make Reservation’ option). Tried direct with Thalys, but they are not showing the 9.58 or indeed any other departures at all. Are there alternative ways of finding out if indeed reservations are all taken, and what the alternative options might be? I’m a newbie (last interrailed in 1974) so just trying to work out the system… Thank you.

Paris to Geneva

I bought 4 days eurail pass and this is my first trip to Europe. When I am trying to reserve seat from Paris to Geneva, it says around £102 for 2 kids and 2 adults. But if I check other website then tickets are cheaper for same route and same train. What is the benefit of eurail pass if reservation takes more money than normal ticket.

Booking on the trainline itself

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

Global Pass - MobileApp 2 travellers - need to share Double on night train.

Hi...Thanks for reading….So here is the core of my question.Myself (M) and a friend (F) may travel together this summer. Each of us if I am correct will buy their own Global Pass. And if i understand this correctly...we can add their ticket to our pass pretty easily.However, there are times where we will want to share a double on the night train. Which means we need to book the double at the same time for 2 different people. (two different Global Pass numbers).How is this arranged in the mobile app? Is it even possible?What does one do if we both want to be in the same night cabin, but are starting out with 2 different Global Passes?Thanks -paul

Train lines to say smaller towns

I am looking at the map of eurail routes and need to know if there is a short route from Faro, Portugal to Sevilla, Spain. I don't see one on the map but these cities are so close! We want to visit both and in order to get to faro to Sevilla it would be a very long journey back to Lisbon, Madrid, and then Sevilla.Or we have to rent a car which would be fine but to rent a car in one country and leave it in another is very expensive. Does anyone have experience with traveling between these smaller cities? And what might be the best practice?

Hoe werkt dat in de praktijk?
