Do many people in wheelchairs use the high speed trains in Europe?Are their power lifts/?Are the washrooms accessible on the trains?
I am travelling to France, Italy and Greece (with a short changeover in Switzerland) and have been using the Gov.uk website to check the entry requirements of my destinations and which documents and forms I need to have for travel. Italy and Greece seem to have minimal entry requirements whereas France seems to require a health pass and an EUPLF. The health pass is fulfilled with proof of covid vaccination which I can provide. But I am still confused about the PLF, do I need to fill it out if I am travelling by train because information on some websites suggests it’s only required for air travel but I have found other websites saying it is needed for all travel? I’m also not certain on whether I need to complete it right now, or if I would get the chance to fill it out as and when it’s required.Can somebody help me figure out what the requirements are please?! (and if there are any other forms for me to fill out prior to travelling to ensure a smooth crossing then please let me know!)T

Exremly grateful for advice and tips.Many thanks!/Mei
Hello there! I am currently traveling in the UK with a Eurail Global Pass. I’m noticing that there a number of charges to my debit card under “TFL (Travel for London) Travel Charge.” At first, I thought these might be reservations, but reservations are not required at any of the trains I have taken thus far and the costs vary widely (£6-£30). Why is TFL charging me when I’m using my Eurail Global Pass that shouldn’t charge me? The only thing I can think of is when certain stations will card me in (as not all UK stations are up-to-date on mobile pass technology) that is making it charge me for an “uncompleted journey.”
Hi, I would like to take a nighttrain from my homecountry. Does it count as one outbound, even when I‘m still in my homecountry at midnight?
This is our first time abroad and traveling by train. One of our legs is from Como to Bologna. We go from Como to Milano Centrale and then Milano Rogoredo to Bologna Centrale. Can anyone tell me if the Milano Centrale and Milano Rogoredo are next to each other? It shows we switch trains.
Hiya, I can’t seem to get the seat reservation tool to work whereas it did before, can’t tell if this is just me? Does anyone know when it will be fixed?
Has anybody experience of the Konus travel card for free regional public transport around the Black Forest?It seems if you are staying at many of the hotels/B&Bs in the Black Forest you get a free travel card for the duration of your stay.https://bw.tourismusnetzwerk.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/KONUS-Flyer-PDF-Download_GB.pdfObviously not of value for continuous passes but for those on X days in Y months it could be an excellent added value.Also there is a Bavaria daily ticket allowing unlimited travel (again only on regional trains) over a large area that is 24Euro for one plus 8 euro per extra passenger.https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/regional/regional-day-ticket-for-bavariaAny views welcomed.
Goede avond,wanneer ik een reis invoer om te kijken of er een trein naar een bepaalde bestemming gaat zie ik enkel het treinstel nummer. Ik vroeg me af of op enig moment ook het spoor nummer bekend wordt.
Hello, I am planning to do some bikepacking from Bergen to Trondheim. The plan would be to go from Paris to Bergen by trains in one go (39h!) but it seems that it is not possible to take bike in every trains, especially between copenhagen and Oslo as there is (only?) high speeds train included in the global pass (7 days). And these trains seems to not accept bikes. Does anyone have information or solution on how to bring our bike to bergen? Also some website are saying that I need to book a place for my bike independently than for my interrail tickets. Does anyone have an idea of the costs of these sorts of tickets?I was also wondering how the 7 days are counted, if one travel last 39 hours but is expanded on 3 days (let’s say leaving at 19h and arriving two days later at 10), does it count as 1, 2 or 3 days for the pass?
Hey,we have 2 Global Mobile Passes and would also like to use them to travel with our dog within Italy. We would also like to tike the Intercity Notte (Rome-Messina). How can we buy a ticket for our dog? Trenitalia and Italiarail only allow us to buy a dog ticket when we buy a human ticket at the same time which is more expensive than the reservation. Also we would not be able to be in the same compartment due to there being separate bookings.How in the world can we book a ticket for our dog on an Intercity Notte (or any other Italian train other than slower, regional ones where dogs travel for free)?
I’m thinking of using the Leonardo Express from Rome termini to the airport. Has anyone used this, is it a reliable train service as I’ve seen some negative reviews about it. Was thinking of booking in advance?
Hi friends! Is food everytime included (free) on the first class trains?
Hi there!We are a couple, currently residing in Belgium. We would like to go somewhere by train during the summer, taking our two medium sized dogs (12 and 15 kg). They are both:vaccinated to day with EU passport microchiped What are the countries that you could travel with the dogs on the train? If we take a night train with beds, could the dogs stay with us?I have no experience with this whatsoever and every advice is more than welcome. Thank you!
Het invoeren van elke reis die je maakt is vreselijk omslachtig en onnodig. Als ik een maand pas heb, is dan een code voor 1 (of 2 of 3 ) mnd niet gewoon veel makkelijker. Net als bij de gewone OV abonnementen. Dan kun je echt VRIJ in en uitstappen wanneer je wilt. Nu moet je verplicht de trein nemen die je invoert. (big brother watching you)Verder is het ook heel omslachtig om nogmaals je eigen land in en uit te reizen, je bent ook dan niet vrij om de trein te nemen die je wilt, omdat deze bv niet aansluit bij de kaartjes die je koopt voor je eigen land (met je eigen kaartje , is de trein die je wilt nemen, soms gewoon niet te boeken.) heel bizar
Hello, we both want to travel at the end of May from Heidelberg/Germany carrying our E-bikes in the train to Copenhagen, visit the capital of Denmark. Then take the ferry to Oslo, visit the capital of Norway two days, then take the Bergensbanen to Bergen. After a couple of days there, looking around by bikes too, we’re going by ship (Hurtigruten) to Trondheim. After sightseeing at this interesting town, we ride a bike tour to Steinkjer.In Steinkjer we want to take the train to the town of Mosjoen northbound. Then once more the bike to northern Helgelands-Coast until the harbour of Oernes, where the Hurtigruten ship will pick us and bring to Stamsund/ Lofots. There we stay about a week, discovering these wonderful archipelago by bike. Then back to Bodoe by ferry and from Bodoe by the Night train southbound to Trondheim. Next day Trondheim-Oslo by train and after one day visit again in the capital back over Copenhagen ( Ferry) to Heidelberg.Our questions: how is the transportation of (
Hallo,ich bin neu hier. Möchte zum ersten mal mit dem Interrail reisen. Dazu will ich für die Schweiz einen 3 Tage Pass für Senioren in Papierform kaufen. Muss ich mit dem Papier trotzdem zum Fahrkartenschalter um eine Fahrkarte und / oder eine Platzkarte zu bekommen? Mein Reisewunsch ist u.a. von Wetzikon über Luzern nach Montreux und zurück. Dabei möchte ich gern im Panoramawagen sitzen. Kann mir vielleicht jemand bei der Planung helfen?Schöne GrüßeAndrea
Guten TagIch möchte mit dem Gotthard Panorama Express fahren, habe einen Interrail Pass für Senioren dafür. Kann ich damit von Luzern nach Flüelen ohne zusätzliche Kosten mit dem Schiff fahren?Danke und beste GrüßeAndrea
Hallo! Ich würde gerne einen Platz im Schlafwagen reservieren. Ich kann diese Option in der App nicht finden? Gibt es diese Möglichkeit überhaupt? LG Hermann
I find it not a real option to travel in Spain by interrail. The only way to book a reservation ( which you need in all trains) is on a station in Spain. Online is impossible. As a result the train is often fully booked. Three times we had to book buses. That was quite a disappointment
Salve, vi contatto per avere alcune informazioni riguardo interrail. Abbiamo acquistato un pass e vorremmo pianificare il nostro viaggio per agosto. Dato il periodo di alta stagione avremmo la necessità di programmare il percorso per prenotare gli ostelli. Quando saranno disponibili le tratte ferroviarie di quel periodo? E vorremmo sapere se le tratte ferroviarie sono fisse, per regolarci eventualmente con le tratte di maggio.
