Train connections & reservations

Hi all,I’d like to take the night train from London Paddington to Cornwall Penzance. Unfortunately, I can not find the cabins ticket on interrail or acprail website. Few days ago, I saw this cabins option on interrail, but now it’s gone. Therefore, where can I buy the cabins ticket, not only seat ticket? Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm doing my first Interrail trip through Scandinavia this summer. I've already made a few seat reservations. However, on the reservations for the routes from Oslo to Bergen and Bergen to Oslo, there is a number under "Issuer" that I do not know. I definitely didn't specify this when ordering. I have given my Interrail pass number. The number on the reservations is not the passport number. Does anyone have experience with seat reservations for these routes? Is the number made up of something? Otherwise, can I contact Interrail directly - if this is the wrong number? Is there a direct email or phone contact from Interrail?Thank you in advance and greetingsBenjamin

How do you book a sleeper or couchette in Italy, Greece or Turkey? 

Hi!In August I'm going to make my second interrail journey, and this year I've purchased a first class pass. Now I've started with making some reservations, if they are available. In the ÖBB app, first class reservations were for free on some trains, while second class reservations had a €3 fee. How come first class is free actually?Those free reservations were for the Raljet 67 Wien-Budapest and IC 210 Zagreb-Ljubljana. I have the reservations as PDF ticket.

When searched on the eurail reservationsfound the below option (with one change) found  a train After choosing the seat reservations -got the below screenwhen I tried to add checkout, it get stuck at the ‘add traveller’ details. Nothing happens when I click on it. It has been the case from the begining. I tried to create a new trip with only 3 travellers (thought the issue was with 7 travellers), but still it get stuck.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I’ve recently bought the global pass for 4 days in 1 month and am planning to go from London to Paris in mid May in a group of 2. We have bought the global passes and bought the seat reservations for our dates that we need from London to Paris and Paris to London through the interrail website. We got the Eurostar train and the tickets have been sent to us via email. What im confused about is that these Eurostar tickets are individual tickets on their own and not linked to the pass? So what exactly is the procedure with both the pass and the ticket? Am i supposed to activate the pass before travelling and when I board the train, I simply need to use just the Eurostar ticket Ive gotten? There doesnt seem to be any link between the ticket and pass I’ve bought. Clarification on the travelling procedure would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey!I am trying to reserve a seat from Amsterdam - Paris (Train: Thalys) for Sunday but it shows it to be “train fully booked” on the eurail website and whenever I try to use the interrail pass. However, on the apps like SNCB and SNCF I am still able to buy tickets for the same journey. Is this possible?

Hi everyone, We are visiting Europe from Canada in June and July 2023. I am booking each part of our journey. So far I’ve reserved seats on the following routes: Barcelona to Paris, Paris to London and London to Brussels. All these routes require a reservation. However, when I try to reserve from Brussels to Amsterdam, no reservations are required so I cannot book anything. I read on another post that this segment has to be added as a journey through the app, but the app is very confusing. I haven’t activated the pass because I read it’s better to do it closer to my trip in case plans change, so when I click on “My Pass” in the app, I can see the pass for each member of my family, but when I click on “My Trip”, it only asks me to create a trip but I cannot see the one I created on my laptop, where I’ve been reserving seats. Am I supposed to activate my passes so that I can see the trip I’ve been working on in my laptop, or will I have to create a new, separate trip on the app? What

Hello Eurail community!  I hope someone is able to help me as I'm really struggling to get the seat reservations I need and now I'm running really behind. My friend and I leave on April 29, 2023, we've purchased the eurail global pass 5days in one mo And need seat reservations from Amsterdam to brussels on May 3rd from Brussels to Paris on May 4th and from Paris to London May 7th. I'm open to departure times  But my goal is to arrive in the next city around 10 AM ish.  When I put the route in on the Eurail app at 1st it gives me the option to book the train reservation but then it quickly turns to say that seat reservations are not available, Which From what I understand is said to mean that reservations for that train are sold out but when I look on the Thalys Website (brussels-paris trains) it shows that there are still train tickets  available for multiple times But it doesn't appear that I  Can book seat reservations on Thalys only the whole ticket... Also why is there More opti

Hi, eight of us have 1st class global pass for 5 days in a month. I couldn’t find train from Paris to Zermatt for 30 May 2023 12pm so I reserved Paris Lyon to Mulhouse. Now how do I get from Mulhouse to Zermatt? When it says “no reservation required” do I still need to buy a ticket to board the next train or just board with the eurail mobile pass? I have children with me, will we be separated if I don’t reserve seats?

HiAre these trains (either Berlin or Hamburg) running in early October 2023?I know it’s early in terms of booking but I see on weeks earlier timetables that the SJ346 has potential line closures around the dates I want to book although the snalltaget 300 train doesn’t appear to be so affected?Any ideas on when the timetable for these trains for the 1st week in October 2023 should appear?Appreciate any thoughts / advice.

Hello!I am a first time Eurail user and finding it a bit confusing to understand. My partner and I have Eurail global passes. We are needing to travel from San Sebastian/Donastia to Madrid on 4 June 2023. I am still confused about what trains are included in the pass.Eurail says it includes Alvia trains. I understand that Eurail does not have the most accurate schedules on the website/app. Rail Europe shows a train on this day departing San Sebastián/Donostia at 8:50am and arriving to Madrid-Chamartin at 1:56pm. This train does not show on the Eurail planning app or website. Can someone please confirm:Will we be able to take this train using our Eurail pass?Is it correct that we cannot make our seat reservation until we are in Spain and do so in person at the ticket desk? Thank you in advance!  

We have a 2 month first class pass and are heading to Norway today. I have booked reservations for long distance trains. It's a faff to book reservations on Norwegian trains because you can't just do it online.On seat 61 it says that reservations are needed on "long distance trains" which implies they are not needed on all trains.  My question is, is there an easy way to know if we need a reservation for a particular train? Is the interrail app accurate in this respect? I've just added a journey from Oslo Airport to the main station and there is no flag on the app saying that a reservation is needed but I'm not sure whether to trust that or not. And another related question - can we book "SJ NORD premium" seats with our 1st class pass? Are they included?  Many thanks!
