Hi!

I’m trying to book a seat on the 13:57 Berlin Lichtenberg to Warszawa Centralna (EC 49) on the 18th September. Whenever I select “Buy Now” after inputting my information, I get a booking error:

Why is this? Is the train not yet available for booking, or have I missed it? Or am I doing something completely wrong? I tried asking DB Customer Support but their response was not very helpful.

Thank you for any help anyone can provide

Try again later…

Or try the PKP IC website. They're also cheaper. See instructions here:

I read reservations for that train is only 60days in advance. Atleast when done via the polish railway. (reservation cost is 4€)

That has been extended last December. Reservations for the requested date are already open. There's no rush though.
