German station transfer

We are travelling from Prague to Paris tomorrow.We arrive on RE 3367 to Teltow at 11:53. We catch the RE 29655 out of Bingen (Rhein) Hbf at 12:43. My ticket tells me to use public transit to get between stations , but when I enter Teltow and Bingen (Rhine) into Google earth it tells me public transport will take like 7 hours. What am I missing? Thanks I. Advance!

Werkzaamheden rond Dusseldorf deze zomer

Hallo, Medio juli reis ik vanaf Venlo naar Frankfurt via Dusseldorf. Als ik op de website van Bahn.de kijk zie ik dat op dit traject werkzaamheden rondom Dusseldorf worden aangegeven, met een link naar een website: “Actuele informatie over uw aansluiting:RE 20075: Venlo->Düsseldorf Hbf: bouwwerkzaamheden. (Bron: zuginfo.nrw) Van 22 juni 2023 tot 4 augustus 2023 vinden bouwwerkzaamheden plaats in het gebied Düsseldorf-Gerresheim/Wuppertal-Vohwinkel. Daarom zijn er uitgebreide dienstregelingswijzigingen tussen Wuppertal-Vohwinkel, Mettmann Stadtwald en Düsseldorf Hbf. Meer informatie vindt u op zuginfo.nrw.” Op die website staat dat er bussen worden ingezet. Maar voor zover ik kan zien komen we helemaal niet daar op ons traject. Is er iemand hier die daar goed zicht op heeft en even mee wil kijken? Dit is het traject: 10.05 VenloRE 13 (20075) 11.09Aankomst Düsseldorf centraal station 11.23Vertrek Düsseldorf centraal stationIJS 625 12.48Aankomst Frankfurt(Main)Hbf Alvast bedankt!

Zurich - Rome Reservation ONLY with eurorail app?

Hello everybody, I would like to book Zurich-Rome (5th of June). I see many options (I would like to do only 1 change in Milan) but I can’t book it through DB-Bahn or OBB or Trenitalia. I just don’t have the options available on these companies.This means that my only options to book it is the Eurorail website? Until now I traveled almost everywhere in Europe and I never done with Eurorail reservations system, avoiding fee and higher prices for each reservation(for example, in Spain it was displayed 25 euros for first class, at the Renfe office just 13 euros).Regards,Marco

Reservations for non-reservation trains

Is it possible to make a reservation for a reservations not required train? I am traveling in July and since I know this is busy I am wondering if I can reserve in some way so I can guarantee a seat. I have to travel on a specific date and there is only one train option so I want to ensure I am able to get a seat.

Airport transport included in global pass

According to this web page (https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/before-you-leave/airport-train-station-connections), some connections from airport to city center and vice versa are included in the interrail global pass. Does using these connections count as a travel day? We are flying from our homecountry to our first destination, and staying there for a few days before starting our interrail. Do we have to pay for train from airport to city center, if we don't want to "waste" our travel day in that? Also, we are flying back home from London, but we are going to stay there for a few days before our flight. Can we use our rail pass there to connect from city center to Heathrow, even tho we have already used our travel days (but we still have time left in our pass)?

Nightjet couchette 4-berth numbering

Hi allI’ve just booked the following journey. I selected compartment with 4 beds and assumed this would be a 4-berth couchette. But when I got the tickets, it shows seats 21-24. My understanding is that the numbering for a 4-berth would be 21/22/25/26…Any thoughts? Anyone have an up to date nightjet seating plan?Thanks

trains sans réservation

Hello ! Je vais voyager en Europe cet été et j’essaye de planifier en avance mon voyage. Je ne comprend pas bien comment fonctionne le Pass avec les trains sans réservation obligatoire. Puis-je prendre ces trains sans billets, sans aucune démarche avant de monter dans le train ? Est-il possible qu’il n’y ait plus de places dans ces trains et que je ne puisse pas les prendre si je n’ai pas réservé ? Une fois dans le train qu’est ce qui fait office de billets ?Merci beaucoup ;)

Seat reservations

I need some help. I have a first class pass for July and August. I am travelling to several countries and when I look at booking seat reservations, a lot are green and state ready to book - no seat reservation required. For the longer trips I would like to reserve a seat to be on the safe side even though it states it isn’t necessary. I have just discovered one train has said prices unavailable - pass holder reservations may be sold out. Does this mean even though we don’t need to book a seat and we are ready to board that there may be no seat available at all? I have been regularly checking so I can book at the earliest time possible. I don’t feel comfortable just winging it.

Reservation for train Varna > Istanbul (Halkali)

Hi, I would like to go from Bucharest to Istanbul. Since the Bosphorus Express night train is no longer serving the route (AFAIK) I decided sleep in Varna and from there continuing on route Varna Sp. > Kamobat / Kamobat > Plovdiv / Plovdiv > Kapikule. For Kapikule > Halkali there is request for reservartion and I struggle to acquire it online. Because in the Rail Planner app I see the info about it: At the ticket office (subject to availability).That scares me cos I don’t like end up in vacum without any move. Cos how can I know that it wont be full already. As I google it; found out the https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr but that page returning me: “No travel solution found, try again by changing departure and arrival stations/dates”Whatever date I try it’s still the same message. razpisanie.bdz.bg don’t know the connection. As for bileteinternationale.cfrcalatori.ro/ it knows the station (Bucharest > Halkali) but info is “Not available online” Basically I don’t need

Not possible to book seat reservations on ICE in summer

Hello,In the period that a seat reservation is mandatory for travel on ICE to and from the Netherlands I am not able to make a seat reservation through bahn.de and obb. This seems like a technical fault, since I am able to book a regular ticket including a seat reservation for the same journeys. This problem holds for all ICE services to and from the Netherlands from 17 June to mid August. I am also able to make seat reservations before and after the period that a reservation is mandatory, so it seems like a specific error during the period that seat reservations are mandatory.Hopefully, it is soon possible to make seat reservations only for journeys on ICE to and from Amsterdam this summer.Thank you in advance,

I'm trying to book a direct train from Rome to Milan on the 15th of august, and yet it says that there is no direct service for that day. yet when I change the date to the week before or the week after the 15th the direct train is available. I'm wondering is the train down for that week, or is timetable not out yet, or if there is something I'm missing so that I can book the direct train. Thank you

Validity of seat reservation

Hi,We have seat reservations on a train from Odense to Copenhagen.This trip will be part of a travel day that will end in Stockholm. Now we have changed our travel plan and will stay in Malmö a few days before continuing to Stockholm. We will therefore not use our interrail pass for the short trip between Odense and Malmö. My question is: Could we still use our seat reservations on the Odense - Copenhagen leg? Or are the seat reservations only valid during a travel day in combination with the interrail pass?

Train from Tirano to Milan in Summer 2023

We are set to come down into Tirano on the Bernina Express (from Chur) in August, but need to get to Milan from there. I know there is a regional train, and that we can’t buy our tickets ahead of time. Is there a place to find the Summer 2023 schedule for this train line?

Seat reservation Greece

Hello, My name is Lucie, I am passionate about travelling and I am going to Grece by train with an interail pass. I will take a ferry to Patras that arrive on the 15 of June, from which I would like to go to Kalavryta as the road look amazing. I saw we can book the ticket from Diakopto to Kalavryta but I don't see where we can make only the seat reservation. I just see 'Eurail" in the reduction but it is only 3 euro less than the full price (and more expensive than a youth ticket) so I guess it should not be that as it is quite expensive for an interail pass. Does anyone know more about it?Later on the afternoon, I would like to take a train from Diakopto to Athens. I saw there is one (with one correspondence) at 20H20. I guess it is there eventhough it is not on the interail app? On the website, I saw we can not make seat reservation, is my interail pass therefore enough to get in the train? Thank you in advance for your attention to my question, Lucie

Reservations for Balkans Trip

Hi,I am trying to make reservations (and have been trying to for weeks) for connections from Istanbul → Sofia, Podgorica → Belgrade and Split → Zagreb, but whenever I click on anything it just says that seat reservations are not available.Seems like a lot of other people have had issues with pre-booking these reservations. Are reservations for all of these supposed to be made at the train station? Are you able to make reservations for the Istanbul → Sofia train at the Sirkeci station in Istanbul, even if the train to Sofia leaves from Halkali station?Any insight would be really appreciated! Thanks so much!

DB reservations will cost more

Hi, from 11 June 2023 will DB - Deutsche Bahn increase the cost of a seat reservation. 2nd class from 4,50 € to 4,90 € per journey 1st class still 5,90 € per journey, but customers with Super Sparpreis and Sparpreis fare will not get the reservation for free anymore. Should be less reserved in 1st class in Germany Family reservation from 9 € to 9,80 € per journeyYou can pay less using ÖBB or CD reservation service for 3 EUR/train or 72 CKZ/trainBut keep in mind that the price is still for a journey and not per train, so often it cost less than two reservations from ÖBB or CD.Via Interrail.eu or Eurail.com the cost is 6 EUR + 2 EUR fee per train. Avoid this service for trains with optional reservation in middle Europe and German speaking countries.

Sofia - Arad > Arad - Warszawa Zachodnia

Hi, I would like to take this connection up to Warszawa from Sofia. Starting from Sofia for Craiova - Arad (IR 349) there is RQ for seat reservation.On IR page it shows that it’s not available cos only paper option from station is possible. But for this connection I did not found on cfrcalatori.ro option only for seat reservation > they requesting me to pay whole ticket. But I have a ticket with IR pass. On their page there is a lot of seat available - but not via interrail page. The info presented is:“No longer availableThis seat reservation is only available as paper ticket and can't bedelivered to you in time. Try booking in person at the station.” OK, so hopefully when I arrive at the staion it will still be possible to get a place. The next connection shown in IR app is: Arad - Warszawa splitted for 2 connections Arad - Wien > Wien - Warszawa Arad - Wien HbfStarting as train named (NT 346) here starting in RO again I have no other option on the web page (international trains
