hello everyone, i just noticed that the train options on the interrail website are different from the train options on the interrail app. i’m a first time traveler and i’m very scared to be stuck in a place i don’t know because the train i thought i could take doesn’t exist. does anyone have tips? do i need to make sure that every train i take is on the website and in the app?
Answer
Train options website vs app

Hey Lieve,
best is to check the website of the local railway operator, that information is the most up-to-date. The app is not always up-to-date and also e.g. on HAFAS of ÖBB/DB some trains that are existing are not mentioned (e.g. Palermo-Agrigento), while others are in there and don’t run (e.g. had recently a train Florence-Salerno, which was shown on the ÖBB app, but didn’t exist what I got to know only at the ticket office as I didn’t check trenitalia.com before).
So in short: the website of the local railway operator is the trustable source.
And don’t worry, the timetables are in 99% of the cases alright :).
