Hello everybody,

I have a question about a connection from Essen HBF (my home country is Germany) to Brussels Midi with the Thalys. Can I travel with the Thalys in my home country without buying an extra ticket, because Thalys is not a german railway company?

 

Bye

Hi, you need for this journey a Interrail Global Pass, because with it you can use 2 of the travel days in your home country. 

For Thalys you need to buy a reservation to use it and to add the trip to the Interrail pass. 

Sorry for the late answer. Firstly, thanks!

For me, I think it’s cheaper to just buy DB Tickets instead of a Global Pass.

Thank you a lot.

Seeing as you haven’t given anywhere enough details, as far as interrail passes are concerned:

 

The country travelled in is relevant.

The country an operator is from is not.

Thalys and Eurostar are 2 companies within the Interrail/Eurail network . They all require mandatory reservations.

The supplmt for the Tls is much, sehr viel, higher as for the DB-ICE. Nice try, but you yourself could have thought this would not work. The NightJets from OeBB also will not accept your proposals.
