Can I travel to any station in the UK?

I tried to plan my trip from Inverness to Canterbury to make reservations, but the last part (London- Canterbury) does not turn up in the trip-planner. Can I not use the interrail ticket in south of London?

What is the best way to make a digital/online reservation in Spain, in Portugal, in England?

I bought a mobile pass but lots of online reservations only work with paper pass ☹️Sorry, but how odd this is!! I really thought I could arrange everything “mobile” when buying a “mobile” pass. So now I’m looking for the best way to make reservations online / mobile for:England / Spain / Portugal and how much time before must I make a reservation for those countries?  Thank you!

Amsterdam to Bern Train Reservations

Hello!Myself and three friends are planning on taking the train from Amsterdam to Bern, Switzerland this May. However, we are running into issues when trying to book the reservations. It appears that the Frankfurt connection is not allowed due to construction. Does anyone have any advice on how to get between these two destinations? I have read that some German trains do not require reservations. Any clarification would be helpful! Thank you!

Train Schedule has changed can't make my connecting Trains

So, I make my Reservations that will be on 3 Trains. I then get a text that the first train will arrive 45 minutes later than scheduled, sorry for the inconvenience, etc. I need to make reservations on an earlier train. However when I go to cancel my tickets I am told that they will give me back 68 cents U.S. on a ticket that cost 30.51 plus booking fee??? I cannot find a way to just exchange them. Now the tickets have gone up to 64 U.S. and I can’t get an answer from Eurail. Had this same problem in 2019.

Not able to add cross-border journey (Mobile Pass)

I’m planning on travelling from my own country towards another. However I don’t want to use the outbound trid. Instead I will travel with another subscription, that allows unlimited travel until the border.But it’s required to record the journeys? On the old interrail ticket it was possible to write something like “NL/BE Border”, but haven’t found a way to do this in the app. How do you do this? 😁An example could be the train from Rotterdam to Antwerp.Entering the last station in the Netherlands is no option. And there are no stations between the border and Antwerp. So entering the first Belgium station is no option as well.

1st Class vs. 2nd Class Sleeper. What's the difference?

Hello! My parents and I are taking a trip to Europe next week. We purchased a 1st class EURail pass and have been booking the train rides that require reservations. Toward the end of our trip, we are taking night trains. I saw there are multiple sleeping arrangements available for purchase on the night trains. Could someone explain the difference between the 1st class 3 person sleeper and the 2nd class 3 person sleeper? For another one of our train rides, there is not a 3 person sleeper available and there is only a 4-person berth available for the night train. If we purchase the 4-person berth, will they fill the 4th spot or is there a way we could get the 4 person berth for only three of us? Also, will my dad be separated from my mom and I on gender-specific berths? Thanks so much!

Seat reservation unavailable

Hello guys,  I recently booked the Global Pass to travel from Berlin to Barcelona  but I have problems with reservations. On to the website it didn´t appear any train connection, which is not true because the Rail Planner shows many connections. After many attempts on the webseite it suddenly appears: SEAT RESERVATIONS UNAVAILABLE“You need to buy a seat reservation to board this train, but it seems this seat reservations isn't available on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book this seat reservation, or buy a separate ticket to board this train.PRICES TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. There is no result from the bookingsystem. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.” “More information” doesn´t help either. Does it mean that the train is overbooked? Can someone help me? Thanks in advance :)

Planning my first Interrail trip in Europe and every train says 'seat reservations required, €10'

Hi, I’m planning a trip starting in Greece and ending with a few places in Italy, but on the rail planner app when I search for trains every single one (in Italy) says a seat reservation is required from €10? Is this true or can I ignore it? How do I know what kind of train it is, the only info is a code such as ‘FR 9437’?Also, do you have to book these trains in advance or can you just show up on the day? Finally, is there a way to use my Interrail pass to get from Athens to Thessaloniki using one travel day? Thank you so much!

Reservations and publishing date

Hi!!I have two questions:1. How can I know if all possible trains for this summer have been published on the web? I´m trying to find a train that suits me but I haven´t managed to find it yet. Can trains still be published 1 month in advance or something like that? 2. We´re looking for a train that takes us from Amsterdam to Berlin, travelling through the night, but the ideal train for us doesn't allow reservations. On the website we can see that sometimes it says that the train might be full, but on the information the train is marked as "No reservation needed". Does that mean that we can just hop into the train without any reservation? As it is a night train we would like to have seats to have some rest, how can we make the reservation? I´ve heard that the day of our arrival to the station we might have the possibility to book some tickets. Thank you in advance for your help :)

Seat resevation necessary Karlsruhe-Strasbourg?

Hi!Do you have to make reservations for the ICE 9574 between Karlsruhe and Strasbourg? The interrail.eu (or anyone else) does not let me book Karlsruhe-Paris although it lets me book Strasbourg-Paris on the same train… After being in contact over the phone with SNCF I know that there should still be interrail-tickets available…

No day trains to Sicily in August?

Hi,I’ve noticed there are currently no day trains to Sicily listed for August (neither in the interrail planner nor on the Trenitalia booking site). Is this an issue of being too early for making a reservation for these?Thanks.

Problem with Seat Reservations in Italy with my Mobile Pass

In have a Mobile Pass and I planned a trip in Italy.Now I wanted to book seat reservations for the trains where I need them. If I choose that I have a Mobile Pass in the Interrail Planner App, it tells me that I can only buy reservations in person at train stations. Apparently, it’s only possible to buy reservations online if I have a Paper Pass. But I just found that a bit weird and I was wondering if there is actually no way to buy online reservations with a Mobile Ticket. I would be really thankful if someone could help me here.And if I have to buy reservations in person, can I just buy a seat reservation the same day at a station in Italy? Is it just as simple as that?Isn’t it possible that it’s too late if I buy a reservation one day before or even at the same day?Thank you really much!

Tripplanner for 18 April. out of running.

Now I don’t know what is happening with the Interrail App, but for 18. April no trips can be added to my pass, although the trips can be planned without errors. Due to this lack I can’t make any pass for this day, what can be make troubles with the train-staff. Yesterday (7 April) it has almost leaded to a sent-off from the train because I couldn’t make the pass for that day (although later on the day it had been solved). The communication went hard, because not all of the conductors of the MÁV can’t speak any foreign-language. I don’t understand why the interrail-app give so much problems.

Problem completing TGV reservation

Over the last few days I have been trying to make reservations for a TGV trip from Paris to Lourdes for the end of May using my mobile Global pass on the Eurail site. I am presented with a few options for the days I am looking to travel. I select an available trip to add it to my cart, go to checkout, verify billing and traveler details, and when I go to Review the Order I am told that one of the legs of my journey is no longer available. The trip is direct so that is only one leg that I have in the cart. I have tried different times and days but I keep receiving the same message. Is there a problem with making TGV reservations currently? Is there some other way to make these reservations without being in France and going to a station?

Double reservation on Eurostar

I tried to make a reservation for a journey on Eurostar.  They tell you that you get a confirmation email within 30 minutes.  This happened when I made my outbound reservation.  This time it did not.  Which is why, after one hour +, I thought it  had not worked for some reason, and I tried again.By pure chance, I found a page called “reservations overview” (or something similar) and found that I had made two reservations for the same train in my name.  I also found that I could not get a refund !  And after several hours, I still have not got a confirmation email with a ticket which I can print out (and which I need !), and I cannot even find the reservations page again in the mobile pass …  I am close to tears because the b… thing is so impossible to navigate.  I have wasted hours trying to get back to pages, when I have found that  I am being sent around in circles to multiple pages offering me answers to questions I did not ask but not touching upon the problems I am trying to solve

Reservations not possible? Traveling to Germany and Czech Republic

Hello everyone,I've bought an Interrail Global Pass for 3 July - 10 July. I want to travel from Amsterdam to Prague and later from Prague to Munich, and from Munich back to Amsterdam.However, there is one thing i don't understand. The website of the Deutsche Bahn says a reservation is required for every high speed rail as well as night trains. The travel plan of the Interrail website tells me i do not need to book a reservation, but that it is possible to do so.However, i cannot add any train journey to the cart. The ‘add to cart’ button is not clickable: Am i too late for booking? I have not received my pass yet, but i will get it within two weeks. Thank you in advance, Kind regards

Pass or Reservation?

To access a train which requires a reservation (and has gates to enter the platform), would you use your interrail pass with the journey loaded onto it to open the gates and then show the reservation on board, or would you use the printed out reservation that has a barcode on it? Thanks.
