Hi all, first time rail pass user and having some trouble with the tech. I am trying to book a train from Brussels to Lyon on the 15th December. The journey I want is available on TGV but not showing on RailApp. There are journeys available on RailApp up to the 13th December but nothing after that and it’s been that way for weeks. I’m having similar problems with the other journeys I want to book later in my trip. I’ve tried the eurail website and all of the alternative third parties it suggests with no joy. I also find that when I move from rail app to the eurail website, my pass and other reservations are missing. It all feels very clunky and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Question
Unable to find journeys in Rail App
The Rail Planner app (and Eurail website) is always late with timetable updates, especially the updates for the annual timetable change, which this year goes into force on 14/12. This is one of the reasons why the Rail Planner app should not be used to plan.
The best place to verify timetables is on the website (or app) of one of the operators. For a TGV, have a look at SNCF's website: www.sncf-connect.com
The best place to book pass reservations for a TGV is usually www.raileurope.com.
In general, use this page as a guide to pass reservations:

If that still doesn't help, then you can ask here, but please always mention at least route, date and departure time.
