Is it possible to obtain an e-ticket for a seat reservation instead of a paper ticket?

I want to book a seat reservation for a train for next week, but it offers me paper ticket and therefore there is no time for it to arrive at my address. I need it to be e-ticket and have the seat reservation instantly. Can you recommend a solution for my specific case? thank you very much.

Outward/inward travel counted as one travel day?

Will my train journey from Wales to the Eurostar (both inward & outward) & onto Florence (overnight bus connection from Paris via Milan) be counted as one travel day? And is the bus connection considered as part of the same journey since the only alternative seems to be a train connection that involves an overnight wait of nearly 8 hours.

Hi allTaking the Nightjet from Bruxelles Midi to Vienna with the family on Wed 9th August, using Interrail passes. Have a Eurostar arriving at 18.02 in Bruxelles Midi, and the NJ425 was due to leave at 19.32. OBB have just told us it has been brought forward to 18.26...Can anyone tell me what platform at Bruxelles Midi the Nightjet leaves from? And what the transfer time might be? 24 minutes might be pushing it...I can exchange Eurostar ticket, but only available is 9am, and with a fee… Thanks

Barcelona to Seville - Direct - AVE 3940

I’m traveling from Barcelona to Seville on Nov 30, 2023 and I’m pleased to see that now I can book AVE trains on the Eurail site. This journey can be completed with a leg from Barcelona to Madrid and then from Madrid to Seville, which is two separate journeys. A few weeks I noticed that an AVE 3940 train runs at 7:32 direct from Barcelona to Seville, but the available dates do not coincide with AVE trains for the 2-leg journey. A few weeks ago, the direct seemed to be available 45 days from the present date, but now it looks like it may have been discontinued after mid-October. I don’t mind paying double, but it would be nice to do the journey on a direct train rather than transfer at Atocha. I’m afraid I may wait for the direct train to be available on my date to no avail. Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Issues with Booking a reservation with Mobile Eurail Pass out of St. Pancras Station

Hi All, I have been trying all evening to book for an 8th April morning train from London St. Pancras to Brussels via Eurostar. I was having issues getting any sort of booking for 2nd class even though on the Eurostar website itself there are still available slots for morning trains. I have been trying my best to lurk around other posts and have found info on requesting Pass Cover Number from the support staff on this site but wanted to check in and see if it was also possible to book directly at St. Pancras Eurostar booking desk. EUR 9116 is the train I am trying to reserve for. I am trying to board the 10 AM train on the 8th of April (in a few hours), wondering if it still possible to do so. I read that tickets need to be booked at least 3 hours in advance ? Or would it be best to just try and input my order number that was on email which is also 8 digit as the pass cover number substitute to just get the ability to book the reservation through the ThalysB website ? My understandin

Caledonian Sleeper two travel days?

Hello,my friend and I have booked a trip with the Caledonian Sleeper from Edinburgh to London. The train departures at 23:40 from Edinburgh and arrives next day at 07:07 in London. On the app the trip is splitted by Edinburgh (23:40) → Carstairs (00:20) and Carstairs (00:20) → London (07:07). If we would activate both trip, we would spend two travel days. But we only want to spend the day of our arrival in London (like Caledonian Sleeper conditions says). How should this be handled?

Planning a travel without Eurostar

I am planning a travel from Denmark to the Pyrenees, where I will be hiking. That means I will bring some camping equipment with me. This includes items that are not allowed on Eurostar trains.But since Eurostar is faster than most other trains it will often show up when I search for the part of the journey that goes between Germany and Paris.Are there any train route planners where it is possible to exclude Eurostar trains? On Bahn.de I can exclude high speed train. But that will also exclude trains like ICE and TGV. Palle Dam, Denmark

Reservation Bergen - Oslo - says ''order will not arrive in time''

I tried to reservate a ticket for the Route from Bergen to Oslo on August the 4th at 1:49pm.I tried to contact the Entur Hotline but no one is entering the Phone. I already paid over 10€ for calling the Hotline.Now I tried to reservate a seat reservation at the Interrail website. But when I’m entering my adress (I also tried an adress in Norway) it always says that my order will not arrive on time. In my oppinion there is enough time till august the 4th. (My Journey begins on July 27th.) What is the problem? What can I do now?“Deine Bestellung enthält eine oder mehrere Fahrkarten in Papierform. Unserer Berechnung nach wird deine Bestellung nicht rechtzeitig ankommen. Bitte lasse deine Reservierungen an eine andere Adresse oder dein Hotel in Europa schicken. Alternativ kannst du versuchen, deine Reservierungen an einem europäischen Bahnhof zu buchen.”

A train connection is both "included" and "reservation needed". What?

When checking trains, some are “included” and some have a cost for reservation. However, also in the ones that are “included”, it says “seat reservations required”. I am confused. Do I need a reservation for an “included” connection. I have a first class global pass.
