Hi we need to reserve the seats for this specific nightrain. However it only shows ticket not available. it says this for all of these trains on this route. So do we need to get it in person on the train? or could we just like sit in the train and explain? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To find availability I used tickets.oebb.at (train's co-operator) : add Interrail as a discount and select one-way tickets. 13.70€ per seat
Did you book the ICE between Utrecht and Cologne/Frankfurt ? 3€ through ÖBB. It is very popular and has mandatory reservations in summer due to overcrowding. There are regional trains across the border if needed too.
Mmmh not sure about that route from Rail Planner as it is indeed the same train coming from Stuttgart, Augsburg and Munich... The app isn't really reliable, best use DB Navigator app or bahn.com.
As alternatives :
- seats on Saturday or Monday
- sleepers (51€) on Saturday between Zurich and Ljubljana
- seats (12.90€) on Sat/Sun/Mon between Zurich and Graz. Couchettes (31€) on Saturday or Monday. From there a new pass day the next morning or a regular ticket
Do not hesitate for questions.
That night train is full on Sunday. There are seats available on Saturday or Monday (13.20€). If you have no other choice than to take it, speak to staff at Augsburg or Stuttgart train station before boarding the train and they may give you a last-minute solution.
What is your starting point ? If it is in the Netherlands/far away, have a good margin in either Stuttgart or Augsburg as German trains are often delayed.
Night trains are very popular and do not have that much capacity. They can sell out weeks in advance unfortunately.

Thanks a lot for your response! we are indeed from the netherlands, :L
Starting point is Utrecht.
May I ask where do you find the tickets for saturday/monday? i can't seem to find those.
also i found a train which does not need reservation, would you say it's just better to take this one? (it seems weird because the train i mention above also comes through salzburg but earlier, this one goes via muenchen though.
In addition we are also indeed taking a lot of spare time!

There is another possibility : the night train between Utrecht and Munich East 19:34 - 07:29.
Seats on Sat/Sun/Mon and couchettes on Sat/Sun (33.80€).
Afterwards :
- RJ München Ost - Villach Hbf 08:26 - 12:43
- D Villach - Ljubljana 12:53 - 14:31
You'd need 2 pass days for that route.
Hi Tom,
Did you manage to solve this?
I too want to go from Augsburg (23:01) to Ljubljana, but it appears to only be possible to book for Zagreb, although I’m pretty sure the train goes through Ljubljana.
Thank you!
I’m looking for it overnight on 29 Sept…
🙏
In that case the reason is construction works in Slovenia. The night train will take a different route then usual so it will not travel via Ljubjana.
Aha. Thank you so much.
I suspected that might be the trouble.
I’ve been trying to get from London (29th) to Poreč in Croatia (some time on 30th) for a work conference as I do not want to fly.
But it is seeming to be impossible. I’ve been struggling to understand German, but I have been generally failing to find a possibility.
Would you be really kind and have a quick search for me? I’m about to give up and turn to EasyJet 🤮 which would be such a shame!!!!
🙏
The night train would then normally have a stop in Celje, from where you can get to Ljubljana. The changed timetable should appear on fahrplan.oebb.at.
Also not that this night train already starts in Stuttgart and you should normally plan with enough buffer that you can catch it there.
