I am travelling to Europe on 14 may
I am trying to book a ticket from Sunderland to London to start my trip.
The journeys appear on the Rail Europe website, with no reservation fee, but I am unable to select a journey and book it. I want the 6:46 one
I read that even if no reservation is required, the journey still has to be booked.
Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong, please?

Seat reservations are either mandatory, optional or inexistant (i.e. on regional trains).
In order to get a valid QR-code for your pass, the mandatory step to "log" each train on Rail Planner. This can be done at any point prior to boarding, you can also remove/add trains as you go, etc.
I usually do it at the station when I'm about to board the train.
It's probably better explained on either page ;)

In the case of a Sunderland-London seat reservation, you can use the GWR, Transpennine Express websites or visit your local station. Seat reservations in Britain are always optional and free of charge.
