Extension of pass due to german strikes?

Hi,I was planning on several days of train travel and got really unlucky as it was the same days as the recent German train strikes! I’d like to if possible extend my pass by a couple days or at least one, as all my travel plans got pushed back and now I would have to pay for the last days of my trip. I contacted Twitter and got a quick response but they didn’t quite get it, I didn’t need extra trip vouchers but rather an extension of the last date I can use a pass on. it would be really great to get an answer on how likely this is before Sunday because otherwise I cannot plan. Does the community think this is a realistic/reasonable request or should I give up and ‘eat the loss’? Thanks, cheers!

Help with Germany train strikes and missing connection

Hello I have a scheduled train ride from Mannheim to Berlin for Sunday 05/09 that appears to be canceled, it was for 0156h approxThe next available train to Berlin appears to be at 5 am that connection appears on the dbahn website but not on the interrail pass app. but I will miss my connection in Berlin to Warsaw anyway. Are reservations needed on German trains? I think not but I have no idea how interrail works since I'm a complete newbie and the faq is vague. Should I go to ticket office regardless? Do they give hotel vouchers for missed connection due to strike? I know Berlín to Warsaw I need a reservation will there be a rep from ICC in Berlin Hbf? How do I go about changing that?

Inbound trip interrupted by a train strike in Germany. How should we continue?

Our Interrail trip is coming to an end and so far everything has worked out well. Now we are planning to head back from Marseille to Germany (country of residence) on Thursday (2 September). Starting that day is a major train strike in Germany which means that we’ll probably be able to come into Germany from france (til Frankfurt) but can’t reach our final destination (Leipzig). what options do we have now? We can’t wait it out in Frankfurt as we have nowhere to stay and the inbound travel day of our global pass will have been used due to the marseille - Frankfurt connection.

1st class dress code?

Any comments on a dress code for 1st class train journeys in Italy. I will be bringing my 20-22 year old Grandsons, and they probably want to wear shorts, maybe more casual than Bermudas. I know they will be somewhat out of place, but don’t want to see them asked to get off the train.

My medication needs refrigeration

My medication needs to be cold. On planes they have fridges and they let passengers keep their meds there but I don't know about trains. The time spent on the trains is too long for my meds, they need refrigeration. Is there any solution? Do all trains have cold places to keep meds?

Finding out what trains do bicycle carriage

Hey Community! I am planning a trip this summer with my bicycle and wanted to use interrail for the largest stretches of commuting. When trying to plan a journey in the interrail app I can see for every train in a particular journey whether or not it takes a bike, but this is a very inefficient way to check journeys. Besides inefficiency, the interrail app only provides me with trains that do not carry a bike… Trying to plan a trip using train providers like OBB (austria) and DB (germany) I can find trips that allow me to take a bike but these use trains that interrail does not allow I believe. It is all a bit of a mess…Any advice or experience with this would be much appreciated. The particular trip I am looking at now is Utrecht Centraal to Verona porta nuova.Thanks people :)

Plan a trip

Hello,I am currently planning my trip in the ‘interrail planner app’. The interrail site says that there is an option to take the train from Villach to Zagreb at 12:53 at the 2nd of August, but the app says the option doesn't excist. The Austrian site ÖBB also says that there is a train that leaves at 12:53, so i know it is possible. How can i add this train to ‘my trip’?If i can't add this option, i can't travel because the mobile pass is connected to the trip that i have plannend…Can anyone help me with this?

Delays because of corona

Hello, I’m travelling from Vienna to Paris. I’m going from Vienna to Frankfurt and from Frankfurt to Paris.My 2 options are the following:1) Vienna - Frankfurt 11:02 - 18:23Frankfurt - Paris 18:56 - 22:522) Vienna - Frankfurt 6:37 - 14:19Frankfurt - Paris 16:56 - 20:47So I prefer option 1 because is more direct and only 33 minutes to change and not having to wake up so early. My question is if any one knows if with corona there are any important delays and maybe that 33 minutes are not enough to change or even to reach the train.

Gepäck in Polen

Ich habe beim durchblättern von Reiseführern gelesen, dass man in Polen teilweise extra Tickets für Gepäck benötigt. Ist das im Interrail Ticket enthalten? Muss ich da nochmal was extra kaufen? Finde im Netz irgendwie nicht wirklich was dazu und will nicht unnötig Strafen zahlen müssen. Kann mir jemand sagen, ob das überhaupt stimmt? Falls ja, fände ich es gut, wenn auf der interrail Seite zu Polen ein Hinweis dazu stehen würde
