Travelling by train

Hi everyone!In your experience, are Nighjets on time? I have to book a train to get back to my city after doing Amsterdam-Zurich on the NJ, and I’m wondering how much spare time I have to consider ;-)Thanks!

Wer hat Erfahrung ?mein global pass gilt ja im Ausland (ein- und ausreise sind wie gesagt schon verbraucht ) Das wäre also ab Belgien  oder könnte ich ab Aachen fahren ? Das liegt ja haarscharf an der Grenze .ich freue mich sehr auf einen tippdanke im voraus und grüße herzlich Martin das 49 € Ticket habe ich   

hello! what could be the best possible route so the travel time is much shorter? was hoping for longer train rides for lesser stops and transfers.

I tried to book the sleeper train on Polrail from Budapest to Krakow but they are only giving me a mail or pick up in Poland option for the tickets.  I cannot do either.  I am looking to book a ticket in 2.5 weeks.  I am looking to book one double couchette and one triple for myself and my kids. I tried trainline and that didnt offer me the option of plugging in my Eurail pass for priceresuction; I tried OBB and that didn’t offer me the option of booking a couchette; and I tried MAV and that too didn’t offer me the option of booking a couchette.  HELP!

Wenn dich das nicht stört schreib mir doch einfach matthias_2k  Liebe Grüße Matthias

I am dreaming that we got a global pass and were able to see Portugal, Lisbon, Rome, Naples, Scotland, Ireland, and London within 20 days. Is the dream real?

Hello, I have some troubles finding easily night trains with Rail Planner app. When I check for only night trains it doesn’t show the ones that exist. From exemple you have one from Hamburg to Copenhagen.Is there a quick way around it? I want to explore my possibilities not knowing where my next stop is.Thanks a lot!Augustin

Hi I have been looking for the direct train from Spiez to Milan for late July date. Was looking at train availability for a few weeks and noticed direct trains (2h38min) are only available up to Jun 8 and it seems that no direct trains are added after that date despite daily checking. Any change such that there’s no more direct trains ? 

Hi, I’m travelling St Pancras to Bruxelles Friday 23.6.24 at 7.04. How much time should I leave before arriving?  Does check in take a long time with the interrail pass? I have a standard premier 1st class ticket. Many thanks, Barbara

Hello community,I am travelling with my family (wife and two kids aged 11 and 8) to London in September. We are also planning a trip to Paris and Interlaken (Switzerland). The likely itinerary will be:Day 1: Leave from London to Paris; Spend the day/night in ParisDay 2: Spend the day in Paris and in late night leave for InterlakenDay 3: Arrive in Lausanne or Interlaken;Day 3-5: Go around places like Lausanne, Interlaken, Montreux, Zweisimmen, JungfrauDay 6: Leave from Switzerland to London. Can you please help with figuring out whether it will be better (and cheaper) for us to hire a car or take trains?Which train was would be ideal for this journey (including Eurostar from london)? A 4 or 7 day Eurail or a combination of 4 days Eurail Global pass and a swiss travel pass? And what should be the ideal combination?

Hi, I’m completely new to travelling via rail in Europe and have a query that I am hoping somebody might be able to answer.  I am still trying to get my head around how the rail service in Germany fits together.I know there has been severe flooding in Bavaria and many services are affected. Munich - Nuremberg - Erfurt - BerlinKarlsruhe - Stuttgart - Ulm - Augsburg - MunichStuttgart - Mannheim - Frankfurt(M)Munich - Lindau - Bregenz - ZurichKarlsruhe - Stuttgart - Crailsheim - NurembergAugsburg - Kempten(Allgäu) - OberstdorfI’m struggling to figure out if a couple of trips I have booked will be affected by this though.e.g. I am travelling from Cologne to Munich on 16th June, then Munich to Paris on 19th June; if I search for a trains on either of these journeys on those dates, they are all there, you can still book seats - seems to be no mention of any being cancelled or changes made to them.   I am reading that correctly? 

Hi! We’re traveling trough Spain and have to back at the 11th of may. Now we just heard that the train from Barcelona to Lyon isn’t going that weekend. Our Seats are already booked from Lyon to home (Utrecht) at the 11th and we can’t delay our trip to the 12th. Already had contact with Renfe, NS International and Interrail but so far no help yet…. Anyone any ideas? Thanks!

Not strictly an Interrail question, but since the DB community does not exist anymore, I’ll try it here. Some time ago, I booked the following connection for tomorrow evening (June 4th) on international-bahn.de:Frankfurt Hbf 19:49 (ICE 693)Augsburg Hbf 22:40Augsburg Hbf 23:02 (NJ 237)Venezia Santa Lucia  08:34Now it turns out that ICE 693 from Frankfurt to Augsburg is canceled already. I could probably take a different train to Stuttgart instead and board the Nightjet there. However, for today (June 3rd), it is indicated that the Nightjet will only start in Salzburg. For tomorrow, there is no information yet, but of course, I wonder if it could still be the case then.So I have 2 questions:- Is there any reliable information on the status of NJ 237 tomorrow?- If it turns out that the NJ is canceled (at least in Germany - I probably can't get to Salzburg), do I have the right to take another connection to Venice with my ticket

I have my first travel day tomorrow  .. June 2 ... with two Journeys, pass activated and ticket visable. Do I have to do anything at the start of the day or between trains or does the ticket/screen remain unchanged during the journeys?

We are two seniors and are flying from Malaga to Barcelona to begin our train travel to Narbonne, France, Toulouse, Donostia San Sebastian, Spain, Bilbao, Gijon, and ending in Porto, Portugal.Does it make sense to purchase a Global Pass vs separate bookings? Do I also need to make reservations for all of these?

Hi,I’m booking a trip to Cinque Terre for the 18th of June, and i know there are some nightjet connections from Germany to Italy are under construction from June until september, but when looking at nightjet tickets for NJ 40295 Munchen to La Spezia it says i can book it but the website also says “please note that travel times can still change”.Does anyone have an accurate source as to wether or not that specific line is also closed for the summer? Or what would happen if i book and it turns out that it won’t be going, will I be eligible for a refund?Thanks in advance! 

Hi all, I am considering taking the early 6AM train from Vienna to Venice on 20 July 2024 (as a consequence of the Nightjet being cancelled); however, it also seems that RJ 131 is experiencing disruptions.  I would like to ask whether anybody has insight into what such a route would look like and how long it would take?I am happy to take a bus (seeing as the Villach to Carnia bus is 1hrs only on Google maps) but my main concern is scenery (scenic trains in Australia are much more expensive than Europe!!) and whether the train will get to Venice around 2, otherwise I’d rather take a plane for time saving considerations.Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Hi there,we want(ed) to go from Brennero to Roma on Sunday, 19/05/2024. Now Trenitalia will go in strike that day. We have a One-Country-Pass, but many trains are not included in this pass.Will it be possible to take these not included trains, if the included trains won’t run? And what about our (really expensive) seat reservatoins? We are travelling with a child. Unfortunately, it would be rather difficult to postpone the trip.Thanks for your help and have a nice eveningAnja

Hello! I’m trying to plan the final part of my trip this summer. I will be in Bohinj, Slovenia and must get to lake Garda, Italy. I’m going on Saturday July 6th. I have looked on multiple routes, all of which include at least 3-4 stops over 8-9 hours. I’m flexible with train/bus. Travelling day or night. I would like to avoid going back to Ljubljana but if that is the simplest way I’m open! So looking for shortest travelling route with as few stops as possible.  thank you!

Dear All. *Urgent*I am trying to book Zurich to Chur and Chur to Tirano on June 5. I have the Eurail global pass. However, when i am ready and willing to pay for the seat reservation, I cant book it online as a error message says part of the journey could not be booked. My plan is to enjoy the scenic route down to Italy Tirano and then travel to Milan from Tirano. I dont know why i could see St Moritz inside my trip which i booked to take the 1.34pm train at Chur to Tirano. Is there a alternate way or website to book this seat? Pls help to reply to my query as I am comfortable with a printed ticket and i am leaving my home in 2 hours. Worse case I have to pay for reservation and travel in the seat reservation Zurich to Milan trip which is not scenic. Im arranging a day hotel stay in Zurich just to travel on the scenic Bernina Express. Else i would have gone straight to Milan from Munich and travel elsewher

If there isnt any nice places, we
