Istanbul to Bucharest overnight

I am traveling from Istanbul to Bucharest on April 3rd on an overnight train. Does the sleeper only operate to Kalikule ? If I take the train to Sofia, does the sleeper goes to Plovdiv ?

Reservation for overnight train Zurich to Budapest or Prague

Hello,I’m wanting to reserve a seat on the overnight train on 10th April 2023 from Zurich to either Prague or Budapest. on the Eurail website it says there are no reservations available to Prague on either of the direct overnight trains. I can reserve the overnight train to Budapest however it won’t allow me to purchase as it’s a paper/post ticket and the website says it won’t arrive in time. I can see on the OBB website that there are tickets available to Budapest, however no reservations available. It also seems the Czech train website is down at the moment. Is there another way I can make a reservation? Stressed about missing out on a seat!! thank you!

Eurail seat reservations sent by post?

I tried for the first time to make a seat reservation on a Norway train from Fauske to Trondheim through Eurail website and it says the reservation will be sent by post. Is it always the case for all reservations through Eurail? I understand I can make a direct reservation by calling Entur’s customer service, not online on their website, which can be expensive. The other option is to go to a staffed train station in Norway. I am concerned because I will start my trip to Europe next week. Any advise?

Intercity falls out, next train has no first class…..

IC 312 Budapest-Graz was broken up in Szentgotthárd. Everyone who wanted to travel into Austria had not only to change, but also to wait for more than a hour, (instead ÖBB could have set-in a remplacement-train, but deceided it due to costs-reduction). But that’s not all, the regio-train stops much more often was ab Feldbach fully crouwded. So I’ve paid for the day without getting what I’ve paid. And Interrail refuses to give any compensation for, this is horrible. EURail Group shouldn’t handle with people who have paid more for extra comfort, should they? The next train should have been published in the teain-planner: RE 4721 Szentgotthárd-Graz Hbf (dep 13:04, Arrival at Graz: 14:53 has been published without time from Szentgohhárd (that name is weitten with Accent-aigu!). If someone looks at the EUrail-App, he/she thinks to wait untol 15:09 for the next train. Please add the times of the missing-trains of the line Graz-Fehring-Szentgotthárd, thank you.

OBB nightjet schedule problems between Innsbruck and Hamburg

Hi,We are a family of four, planning to travel from northern Italy or western Austria to Stockholm at the end of June (with some stops on the way). I tried to book OBB nightjet from Innsbruck to Hamburg but their website indicated possible schedule changes for that time, and also said that schedule changes may appear with a very short notice. They also brought up a new cancellation rule which is way more strict that the usual nightjet rule (I know this because I have booked another nightjet for mid-June from Hamburg to Zurich). Do you have experience on similar situations, or better information on this situation? Does this mean minor changes like 30 minutes, or can it be hours, or really even cancellations of the whole connections? I would be grateful of all the help because the OBB customer service have not replied to my several calls.

OBB NightJet Reservations - tickets available but reservations are not?

Hello, I am trying to make a reservation for an OBB Nightjet Train from Basel SBB to Amsterdam Centraal with my eurail pass. On OBB’s site, the route is available if I click the option to purchase outright, but it is not available when I select a seat reservation only. I cannot find it on partner websites (eurail, b-europe) either… I am frustrated because I purchased the pass with the intention of using it to book some of these night trains. I can select the intercity train that I understand is connected for only a 3euro reservation, but I would prefer a couchette to sleep on my journey. Any guidance on how to work around? I have thought about purchasing the cheaper reservation and upgrading later, but I doubt that couchettes will be available day of. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

New pass and reservations

My interrail pass expired and I bought a new one. Since I activated my new pass I haven't been able to make seat reservations. The interrail website says my pass isn't valid - but it is.

Eurail Not Allowing me to book a TER Train

Travelling from Paris to Rouen, Monday 22nd May. Have Eurail Pass.Specifically trying to book TER 3119 but I have also tried to book other trains earlier and later. Some of them seem to require reservations and some not. (According to Eurail)In each case, when I try to book a one way journey Paris to Rouen on their website via my home computer there is no option to add it to my shopping cart. On the phone app it lets me add the train service to “My Trip”.Question 1 - Does that mean I can board the train?Also, the Eurail website and the phone app both say a seat reservation is required for this particular train. I looked up the train service on SNCF and confirmed this. I also read elsewhere (Seat61 I think) that TER trains are included on the Eurail pass. So that means I can just board the train I presume and do not have to pay any extra (except of course for a seat reservation). BUT - and here is my question #2: How do you buy the seat reservation? You can’t on the app and you can’t v

6 Day Poland only Eurail Pass. Reservations seating together

I purchased two 1st class, 6 day Poland only eurail Passes for my sister and I for travel in August. I have the Rail Planner app loaded on my phone and both passes loaded but not activated. My sister is technocologically challenged. We live in different states and because of that it is easier for me to purchase the seat reservations so that we are traveling on the same trains. Can she also load the app on her phone before we travel so that she can show her own phone with her daily pass? (she is going to visit me soon so I thought I could load it on her phone at that time) I wasn’t sure if it was allowed because it is already loaded on my phone.A couple of other questions-When looking at the https://www.intercity.pl/en/ website to purchase seat reservations it is only allowing me to select one ticket at a time. I select two passengers but as soon as I select Eurail/Interail in the discount drop down it switches to one passenger. Does this mean they need to be booked separately? o

Incorrect timetable - problem with connections

Dear Interrail community, We would like to book train tickets to Edinburgh from Nice (France) on August 04th. The routes are as follows: Nice - Paris (SNCF)Paris - London (Interrail)London - EdinburgWe have already booked tickets for the Eurostar train (Paris-London)For the Nice-Paris route, Interrail has proposed several departure times. We are interested in the train that leaves Nice at 07:57 to arrive in Paris early enough before taking the Eurostar train.The problem is that this train is not proposed on the SNCF website. We read on your website that the timetables may not be up to date on the Interail website. Therefore, the train leaving Nice at 07:57 would not exist. However, how to know if a train will be proposed by Interrail to arrive in Paris with enough time to take the next train to London? Thank you in advance.

Strikes in France - compensation from SNCF for flight?

Due to strike action in France the train from Paris to Barcelona has been cancelled.As this is the start of my trip, I am going to have to fly from London to Barcelona and then continue my Interrail journey from there.I have filled in the Interail delay compensation request form online in the hope that they will refund me for the seat reservations and the lost travel day.Would it be possible to get a refund from SNCF for the last minute flight from London to Barcelona? If so, how would I contact them?Not a good start to my trip (especially as I wanted to avoid flying!)Thanks in advance for your help.

From the Netherlands to Istanbul

Hi there, I am travelling for 3 months (unlimited travel days) with The Netherlands as starting point, and wanted to go to the balkans/eastern Europe.However, when looking up trains in this area I can barely find any unfortunately. Ive seen some other topics from a while ago about this too, but I find it hard to figure out what I need to do/conclude from it. Is it better to just not go there at all as you need to take busses a lot (and those are not covered by interrail)? I’ve also read some things about there being trains in serbia and North-macedonia but just not internationally registred so it’s hard to know what the schedules are. Are there alternatives that are worth it? F.e. I saw that Romania is accessible still by a night train from budapest, and that it is possible to go from there to Sofia and then a train to halkali (Istanbul-west). Is this doable? Sorry if this is a bit vague but im new to this and really struggling with planning my trip.Thank you in advance for any help!

EuroCity seat reservation not available

Hi all,Recently purchased the Eurail Pass and can’t wait to visit Europe at the end of this month. I have added the mobile pass to m phone and got the trip set up, the QR codes even shows up already and all the travel day has been used. However, I have few confusions:There are few trips that requires seat reservation, one of them is for the trip from Switzerland to Milan using EuroCity train. Went through the OBB ticket site, the trip seems to exist but it said that the ticket is unavailable, what does this mean exactly? No more seat left? Or it’s just that it’s not available online? Do I have to book directly at the station? What happens if till the end I didn’t manage to book a reservation? Will I still be able to hop on the train and just sit randomly or will I not be allowed to board at all.Thanks and hopefully this is not a duplicated question.

Eurail Question from Paris to Luzern

I booked reservations from Paris to Luzern. It's three legs - Paris to Mulhouse, Mulhouse to Basel, then Basel to Luzern. When I bought the ticket on Eurail, the reservation on the ticket only said it was to Mulhouse. However, when I look at the ticket on my eurail account, it says "ready to board" for those last two legs. Just concerned my ticket does not reflect all of the way to Luzern.

Euronight train from Basel (Switzerland) to Praha (Czech Republic)

Hi everybody, I plan to start my interrail from Lyon (France). I have a connection at Mulhouse (France) and then Basel (Switzerland), where I want to take the Euronight train to go to Praha (Czech Republic). The departure from Basel is at 9.15 pm. The thing is I don’t see where I can book a couchette (sleeper place) for this train online. And I do not want to arrive at Basel and to have to spend the whole night in a classic seat. Anyone had the same issue ? Many thanks in advance for your help !
