Good day,

today I tried to make seat reservations for 21 april.

But it seems as if I cannot get any reservations. Is there a place that can help me with that?

I tried via Eurail,  and via nscf-connect, but no seats! (From Brussels to Lyon).

Just nothing seems available. Is it possible that the seats are all gone? 2 months before dod??

If you're looking for a reservation on one of the direct TGVs: these only have very limited availability for pass holders. On 21/4, there's indeed no availability left.

There are other options though, e.g.:

  • Eurostar to Paris, TGV to Lille
  • TGV to Lille, TGV to Lyon
  • IC to Lille (no reservations), TGV to Lyon

The best place to make reservations is www.raileurope.com, because then there are no extra booking fees. The sncf-connect website doesn't offer pass reservations.

If you want more help, then please mention the class of your pass and around what time you'd like to leave Brussels or arrive in Lyon.
