Need to know whether a train is fully booked or not open for reservation yet

Hello there,

 

I just booked reservations for a trip from Germany to Spain and back.

However, for the following connections I was shown the message

Prices unavailable
No price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.
 
- Narbonne - Barcelona Sants, 17th Sept 22, RSC 9731 , 10:33 - 12:34
SNFC and RENFE both tell me that this one is fully booked, i.e. I need to look for a different connection.
It would be really useful if this information was provided in the Interrail booking system!
 
- Paris Est - Stuttgart Hbf, 25th Sept 22, TGV 9579, 17:55 - 21:04
DB tells me that reservation is not possible (but not why its not possible).

SNCF does not tell me that the train is full, but also I couldn’t find an option to just reserve a seat on the website.

Will there be an online option to reserve the train later, if so when, or do I need to reserve at a train station?

 

Thanks for your help,

Robert

DB kannste NICHT online diese RES fuer FR->DE verkaufen-du musst zum Schalter. Pass hätte mann auch sofort am Schalter kaufen können mit alle RES die DB versorgen kann sofort dabei.

RSC ist etwas unbekanntes-musst du NUR diese Strecke am Tag? Dann geht es ohne RES und hohe Zusatzkosten mit lokale Zuege: TER/SNCF bis grenze-Cerb´ere/Port Bou-dann ES/RENFE rodalies onward. Achtung: ab gestern STREIK fuer unbekannte dauer.

Jeder tag wird ...zig mal an alle diese Neulinge hier erklärt das mann sehr viel besser auf andere Wege seine ohso sorgfältige in mühsame Hausarbeit zusammengestellte Reisepläne ins dann noch unbekannte Ferne nicht mit app zu bewältigen sind

I want to go further to Alicante the same day… which probably requires high-speed trains
