Up to date info for Sweden?

There have been a number of questions recently about upcoming track work in Sweden and people (including me) have said to check out the sj.se site for information on scheduled works.However, when I look at the page it talks of diversions and changes to schedules in April (last month) all the way back to February. I don’t see much for for May and nothing for June.Is anyone aware of any more recent or up to date information?

Reservation from Milano Centrale to Spiez Switzerland

My last eurail pass was in 1983! I’ve found EC52 direct from Milano to Spiez on July 10 at 11:20 in the Rail Planner app. When I go to book a reservation using the website, the direct train to Spiez doesn’t appear. The route when using the website reservation system has me changing in DOMODOSSOLA and again in Brig. My question is if I can just get the reservation from Milano to Domodossola on EC52, and then stay on that direct train without a reservation on to Spiez. Thanks so much, Tom

Nightjet NJ 457 reservation problem

I am trying to book a ticket to go from Berlin Hbf to Berclav on June 24, 2023 at 18:52 with the global interrail pass. It lets me activate the ticket but not reserve a seat. It tells me that there are no seats available, but that with every day. I have searched several different websites that also offer this train but it still doesn't work. The train is the one in the title. If anyone can help me or tell me how I can do it or alternatives (which I have not found either) it would be a great favor. Thanks

Italy (Como SG) to France (Lyon) June 2023 using OBB

Hi everyone, I am helping 2 friends, who are 1st time Eurailers, with the ‘benefit’ of my experience of 4 years ago.😬 They are travelling from Italy-France-Italy in June. They have the first trip sorted (La Spezia to Como San Giovanni), but we're having problems with seat reservations from Como SG to Lyon on 16 June. We can book the 1st leg from Como SG (dep 0904) to Basel (arr 1256) or Como SG (dep 0950) to Zurich (arr 1227), but not onward to Lyon. This is using OBB website, following instructions from other topics.RailPlanner app says that 0904 trip from Como SG needs a seat reservation from Como-Basel and Mulhouse (dep 1357) to Lyon (arr 1656). The 0950 trip from Como SG needs seat reservations from Como SG-Zurich, Zurich-Dijon and Dijon-Lyon.Even if I break down the sectors, as other posters have suggested, OBB says ‘no ticket available’ for both options (only Basel-Mulhouse-Lyon shown below).Basel-MulhouseMulhouse-LyonWhat are we doing wrong, or is it too soon to make this booki

Sweden - Norway (Finland?)

Hello!I am already on the road (railway) heading to Stockholm. I would to visit both Sweden and Norway and enjoy the landscape that offer a railway travel. I planned, for now, this simple route:Stockholm - Oslo - Bergen - Oslo - Trondheim - Bodo - Oslo - Malmo - Copenaghen I was thinking also to do the route Stockholm - Narvik, but it seems like very long and with no interesting intermediate stops. Do you recommend it anyway? What about Finland?I was able to book with SJ to get in Sweden. About Norway is it true that is it possible to reserve only by phone(Entur)?On the app I see ALL trains need a reservations, is it correct?Thank you :D

1st or 2nd class for Switzerland?

Hey everyone! I am looking at book an interrail pass for Switzerland travel, but I’m not really sure if its worth buying first class or not. There is quite a difference in price so I’m wondering if this is significant?From what I can see, the majority of posts are regarding space allowance but if its just for travel in Switzerland does this really matter?I am travelling with my boyfriend so I guess I wont be able to sit with him either?Is there any benefit price wise with reservation fees when you book first class? Thanks in advance!

Traveling from Athens to Thessaloniki

Hi! My Friends and I are traveling to Greece for the summer and we wanted to buy the interrail Greece pass (not the island one) in order to discover continental Greece. However, when I use the interrail app to check the timetables of the trains from Athens to Thessaloniki and vice versa, it says that those trains are not available. What could be happening? It is going to be possible to travel Greece by train this summer? I know that last summer was not possible because some railway stuff... Anyways, thank you so much!

Nightjet Sleeper Single Cabin Booking Issue

HiI’m trying to book a couple of Nightjet trains using a pass on OBB’s website.The system is not showing single cabins as available, but showing places in double cabins.The strange part is when I change the search to 2 passengers the same places in 2 berth compartments show. It’ll let me book them and go through to the credit card page. Question is will these be allocated in the same cabin? Thank you!

Night trains compartments on train Mannheim to Prague

Hello, I am trying to reserve beds for me and my family (2 adults, 2 children) on the night train EN40459 between Mannheim and Prague on the 1st of August. On the nightjet website it says that there are no offers available for "Couchette carriage", but for "sleeper cabin", but it only includes compartments for a maximum of 3 people (we are 4) and separated by gender. Is there no chance that the four of us can share a single compartment? Also, the price is quite expensive (€276) considering that we already have an Interrail pass. Thank you very much for your answers

"No train" or "prices unavailable"

Hi everybody,Thank you for reading my message first and any help would be appreciated, nice day :)Here is our problem :Venice - Ljubjana 30/07 in the morning"Prices unavailable from Venice to Trieste for mandatory seat reservationsIs this because seat reservations are not yet available or should we find an alternative?Bari - Rome 12/08"No train”Rome - Milan 14/08"No train”For our other destinations, we are too early, so we will wait to book (90 or 60 days before on average).But for the 3 routes above, is it also because we are booking too early? Because the site does not give any detailsOr should we worry and think about another route?Thanks for your help :) Louise

Reservations cost Brussels to Paris

We are booking reservations from Brussels to Paris. Usually the reservations cost $10-15 each. When I try to make the reservations it cost $32.50 each. Also I tried b-europe.com and it is $27 each. Does anyone know why it is such a price difference and cost more than normal?Also, I saw the regular price cost is is only around $43. So the savings isn’t much with the Rail pass. Any thoughts would br greatly appreciated.

Seat reservation Napoli to Catania

We want to book a train from napoli to catania, but when we try this the interrail website says we first have to go from Napoli to Florence and then to Catania. This only takes a lot of time while there is also a direct train from Napoli to Catania on the website of Trenitalia. Does someone know what is wrong? And if we even need a seat reservation for this train?

Book a single bed in Wien -> Bucuresti (2nd or 1st class ?)

Hi,I wish to make a reservation for the train Wien (24/06/23, 7.42pm) ➩ Bucarest (25/06/23, 3.05pm). I have a 2nd class pass. I wish to make a reservation for a single bed (I saw on the website of the train company that it was possible). Yet this option does not appear. Is it because it is an option not available for eurail ? Is it because it is available for 1st class pass ? If so, how can I change my pass from 2nd class to 1st class ? I did not made any reservation yet so I guess it could be possible ?Thank you very much,Amélie

Connecting train after sleeper train

Hi,I am wondering if a connecting train after a sleeper train still counts for a single travel day. I wanted to take a direct sleeper from Amsterdam to Zurich, but there were none available on my travel date, so I’m taking a sleeper from Amsterdam to Basel and then a train from Basel to Zurich. Does that count as one travel day?Thanks,Katie

EuroCity from Berlin to Prague

Hi guys. I'm currently planning my trip in August and I'm looking for the right train between Berlin and Prague. I found that the two cities are connected by EuroCity trains, but no reservation is required on the app, even though I read that seat reservations on EuroCity are compulsory. Is that alright or is it a bug of the RailPlanner app?
