How late and from what station in Budapest does the train to Zagreb leave on the 14th of August? In the interrail app it says 15.42 from budapest kelenfoeld but on the internet I cant find this train back. Only one that leaves from Budapest Deli at 15.35

 

The app is not reliable. You must always check the timetable of the relevant national railway company for the accurate times.

Here is some useful information from the experienced travellers in the Community regarding both planning, reservations and activation of pass and travel days. 

 Planning

The rail planner is normally not up to date, as it only is updated once a month, so to be sure of the time table you better check the timetable and availability on the websites of the national railways. The bigger national railways, like DB (Germany) SBB (Switzerland) and ÖBB (Austria) cover several countries. 

 Reservations 

The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is to use other ways to make reservations than the Interrail/Eurail website.  You can look at the guide in the link:

https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservations-105

If you, after having looked at the guide, have questions about how to make specific reservation, please give your travel details (departure date, time and route) preferably in a new topic, and you will get advice.

Please note that Interrail/Eurail charges an extra fee of 2 EUR per person and train in addition to the fee for the seat reservation.

 Activation of pass

During the activation process, when you choose the start day of the validity of the pass, the first day of the validity period is automatically made a travel day, even if you don't enter a journey, the advice is therefore not to activate the pass before the first travel day as you only can deactivate the pass before 00.00 on the day the validity starts. If your travel plans change in the last moment you will loose travel days if you have activated the pass in advance.

It can be wise to make a test and activate the pass with a start date well in the future and then deactivate the pass immediately, just to see that everything works.

 Activation of travel day

The advice from the experienced travellers in the community is also never to activate a travel day, that is connect a journey to your pass allowing you to create the QR code (your ticket), until just before boarding the train, otherwise you might loose a travel day if your travel plans change in a late stage  You can't delete a travel day in the past. A travel day can only be deleted until 23.59 CET the day before the travel day.


UNless there are works/whatever , normally the trains start form a centre-near stop in Bp (there are 3, mostly it is Deli=west, ALL 3 are of course on the metro), and Kelenföld is a fairly new at edge of town combined integrated and very well designed train/bus/metro/tram station some 10 mins later. So you can board at both.

Looks to me it is the train to Graz? with change there. The direct and quite slow train to Zag along the Balaton lake lv Bp early mornings
