Train connections & reservations

Hello,I have bought a train reservation from Stuttgart to Paris. The ticket says:Valid Eurail Pass or InterRail Pass must be presented. Ticket can be exchanged orrefunded free of charge before departure. From 30 minutes prior to departure,tickets can be exchanged up to two times (for the same day and the same journey),and are non-refundable after the first exchangThe question is now how can I proceed with the reimbursement (or change) of the ticket?Thank you!

我到法国旅行，在哪里可以准确确认高铁的座位预定的状态和价格信息。想对应的程序和网站有哪些？

Hi everyone, I will be travelling in Italy in December and now I am looking for the specification for the tracks of a the trains of my connections.  I can‘t find any information on the tracks, not in the railplanner app, in the trainitalia app or in the DB app. I can‘t find them either for todays connections.  Example: IC730 from Palermo to Messina, 04/12/2023, 10:15 h. Can someone help me finding some information online about the track of the trains in italy? I think it will be quite helpful to know the right track in advance if you have a short time to change trains.  Thank you! 

UK to Italy in May (3 weeks) - I'm looking at an Interrail pass (-25% sale) - and booking London - Paris (booking asap) then to Zurich (probably the same day) and onto Bologna, etc - and 2 weeks around Italy with flexible itinerary. Probably spending 1 or 2 days in each place bfore moving on.I'm new to Interrail (not trains though!) - am I right in thinking we should be ok getting seat reservations (where needed) on the fast trains - say a day ahead? Ie book the next leg a day or 2 before travel.Any other advice re Italy appreciated.MikeLikeCommentSend

Hi, I am looking for a train from London - Paris Nord on 26th Dec, but unable to reserve a seat. May I ask if there are other ways I can reserve a seat on Eurostar or alternative routes I can take. Would it be possible for me to reach London and book it via the train station on 23rd Dec? Would they still have available tickets to reserve under Eurail? Many thanks!

Aka "Story of the ghost train" Wondering if someone had same misfortune like me and managed to get compensation from Interrail/Eurail… What happened: on Nov 26th, Eurail sold reservations for night train from Zurich to Wien (40467) with departure 9.40pm. However it seems the train left at 8.40pm. There were 10-12 people with same issue like me at the railway station, was impossible of course to get any help as it was out of SBB responsibility In my situation, consequences were financially huge as this was a connection in the middle of the trip and I had no choice but to spend night in Zurich and move my tomorrow schedule-  today trip only is now more expensive than what I paid for the discounted pass during November seasonal offerInterracial/Eurail: please fix this schedule and compensate people! I know Switzerland is famous for trains to be on time, but to have a train leaving one hour before the time printed on the ticket is surely somethi

HI I am trying to book a train from Paris to London on 28th December 2023, I have acquired the Global Pass… However, no seats seem to be available and as it says, seat reservation is mandatory. Someone please help me out!!!Thanks in advance 

Hello,Can I book a train reservation to do a trip from Paris to Berlin with the One Country Pass (Germany)? Or should I pay the part of the trip in France ? Thank you!

Trip: WIEN HBF (Austria) - VENEZIA MESTRE (Italy) Dec 26 2023. Rail Jet Train 131I checked the OBB website and it does offer the Business Class upgrade on my train using my Eurail pass (1st Class), but via the Eurail site, I could only make a first class reservation, which I did.I would like a Business Class reservation and am happy to pay the difference in fare, but how do I now do this, having made a first class reservation via Eurail?  And why doesn’t Eurail offer this Business Class option via their reservation system, for this train?Thank you.

Hi, may I please know if the costs of seat reservation are different for first class Eurail pass and second class from Paris to Zurich?

I was checking the price for the seat reservation in first class Bodo - Trondheim and it turns out it's no longer free (like it used to be) for first class holders and it costs 500 NOK, that’s about 43 euro for a seat.  Am I checking something wrong or have they introduced the most expensive seat reservation fee for first class in Europe?

Hi everyone.My name is Lorenzo, from Italy, and I'm planning a trip in North-Eastern Europe, passing through Poland and the Baltics, all the way to Tallinn. I'm struggling to understand train connections between Poland and the Baltics and between the Baltics. Why are there no trains on the planner? How should I move in those areas? Thank you very much 

Can I pick any bus even when with a normal ticket would be expensive? like a bus from Spain to Finland, is it covered without extra payments?

Hi, can i take outbound from London St.Pancreas to Copenhagen in one day with multiple train included?  and can i use inbound from copenhagen to London again?  And actually where to make train reservation? Some train company only allow reservations at their counter

Hi Everyone! I will be in Europe for 3 weeks traveling to Spain, Italy, and Switzerland. During out time in Switzerland we’re hoping to visit Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Zurich. When looking at the railway map, the only stop in that area is Bern, does that mean there is no train available to go to the other cities? I got the app to see if there are trains that run to the area and it does show stop stops in Interlaken, I’m just confused as to why it does not show on the map. I’m wondering if maybe a different pass is required or it would cost extra to get to these cities. I appreciate anyone’s help on this, thanks!

We are planning to fly from Budapest to Istanbul for the last leg of our journey. We need advice if we should purchase the 10days in 2 months flexi tickets or the 22 days continues tickets.

Do we need to make seat reservations on the rail planner app or do we reserve our

Hi all,We have recently purchased our 10 days flexi Eurail pass and would like to reserve our seat in Eurostar London- Amsterdam train dated 20th April 24.However, after trying since last 4 days in b-europe website, I am constantly getting the below message:"No connections matching your requests.Please change your search options (e.g. allow any type of trains, don't specify a via station or reduce extra transfer time)" I am unable to understand the above message. This message seems to be coming for almost all weekends after mid Jan 24. Same train is available to book on all other days even for 19th April and 21st April.So please help me out to understand, why no availability for weekends? Is the schedule not updated for weekends? Or is there no availability for this train left for 20th April?I am still 6 months far from travel,is it really possible that this train is booked for weekends

Hey, I wanted to book a trip by Night Jet (ÖBB) from Paris to Vienna on december 26th. I checked regularly since august but no seats were ever available. I wanted to know if it’s because every seats have already been booked or if this trip was not officially open to reservation yet ? On ÖBB website, this message appears: “Timetable 2024Please note that planning for local, regional and long-distance passenger rail services for the 2024 timetable year (as of 10th December 2023) has not yet been completed and the timetable data is not yet complete.It is therefore possible that the local, regional and long-distance connections will be changed or cancelled at the time of the timetable change, that additional services may be added to the timetable data or that the departure or arrival times or the operating transport company may still change.This particularly affects the long-distance services listed below:

Another couple of questions about reservations:Is a reservation obligatory on the German part of the ICE Frankfurt - Paris? Is the Interrail pass valid on the bus from Saarbrücken to Luxembourg? And what's the easiest way to reserve a seat?

I am planning a trip late December from the UK into Netherlands/brussels via the Eurostar. I have checked b-europe and can see the availability for interrail reservations is very slim, but on the actual Eurostar website there still seems to be a good amount of availability for all services that dayUK trains have notoriously been either delayed or cancelled during the Christmas period due to strikes and I think its fair to assume this is likely to affect my trip, and potentially my arrival time into st pancreas.On b-europe interrail reservations are available for the 11am eurostar, but thats the last one for the entire day. So I am confused as to whether I would be totally stuck in London if my train is delayed or cancelled, as I will be travelling with an interrail pass, not a specific eurostar ticket.

Hi, I am traveling from CDG to Strasbourg on 12/23 and have changed some details on my not-yet-started trip, meaning that I want to get a different set of Eurail passes. I already booked the reservation for the TGV on the 23rd, which required my pass number. Does anyone happen to know if it possible to change the number for the pass on the reservations? Or will they give me issues the reservation is based on a different pass number? Thanks!-Josh

Hi there,I am a bit confused about using Eurail to travel on Eurostar from London to Paris on the 29th of December this year. I know this time is very busy, and the ticket prices on Eurostar are increasing significantly now. When I used Eurail to book a reservation, it always said, “Prices unavailable. No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out...”. I tried to use B-europe.com to make a reservation, but it’s only available for Eurail pass 1st class (it says that I’m using the 2nd class pass 😥).Is it fine for me to purchase the 1st class anyway, even though I’m using the 2nd pass?I know there is another option to transfer the Eurail 2nd pass to a 1st pass, but I have already made some reservations with my current 2nd pass, and I had to pay for these reservations. If I transfer to the 1st pass, it means I will lose them.Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I’m an overseas visitor and have never used this system before.

Hi everyone,We're italian and we are planning to visit Germany with the One Country German Rail pass.In this pass are included also some italian cities.Just to be sure, are these cities available also for people that have the residence in Italy?

Im planning on going from budapest to vienna using the eurail global pass. I was told it was better to book directly from the train website.So i went to the OBB page. Here with the pass i have the ticket for free but can also make seat reservations for free on first class.My question is do i need a first class pass to make this reservation or i can still do it with the second class pass.Thanks.
