Travelling by train

I was travelling last night in EN 40457 from Dresden to bratislava. I was robbed in the train. My bag was pulled off broke the bag zip took off my phone and cash and went off. How is this possible? Like is this so easy in the trains? You don't have any such security maintained? Moreover there was no one in the coach to help me no police no focal person of the coach. Please help me what should I do? 

I am trying to book outward trip on 09/05/2024 from Ljubljana to Trieste on EC134 out Ljubljana 14.25 - arrival Trieste 17.16. It is the fastest direct connection, but can not be booked through the Interrail app. How do I travel on this route? 

This summer I will travel from Paris (Austerlitz) to Pau with SNCF’s night train. I have just read this article about the French “Intercités de Nuit”: https://www.raileurope.com/en/trains/intercites-de-nuitIt says that there is an X-ray check at the station i Paris (I assume that is the Austerlitz station) and that passengers are advised to arrive at the station at least 30 min. before departure.I can not find anything about X-ray checks at Austerlitz anywhere else than this Raileurope article. The only time I have heard about X-ray at train stations is for Eurostar trains and Spanish trains. There might also be an X-ray machine by the luggage storage, but that is another thing. Can anyone confirm or refute that there will be an X-ray check at Austerlitz station for night train departures? My issue is that I will bring a backpack wi

This will be my first time traveling to France from Canada. Wanting to avoid flying with Boeing at this time, I am exploring other ways to approach my destination of Paris. One flight route could land us in Dublin. Is it viable for 2 active Seniors to take the train(s) from Dublin to England, through the Chunnel to Paris? 

Hi! I’ve been travelling in Austria and Slovenia - and been a bit confused as to which rail company is running the trains I’ve travelled on - does any one know if there an app or website to help?e.g IC793 - is this Slovenian or Austrian?RE79036? Would appreciate having this kind of info at hand as it would help when planning…. 

Hey, me and a group of 18 others are planning a trip to Slovenia from Brussels. We were thinking of using interrail but still aren't sure if it is the cheapest option. We would like to use the national train and bus system as well and maybe even venture out to Croatia. Anyone has experience with this?Thank-you 

How do you book flam rail tickets using eurail discount?

I’m looking to take the Leman Express service L1 from Annemasse to Geneva at 10:05 on 6th April but this is not appearing in the search in the app. It appears some other L1 line services are also missing. Is there a reason for this? If I catch this train I can’t add it to my mobile pass in the app so what if I get a ticket check?

bonjournous sommes une famille de 3 et recherchons à aller à Venise en train de nuit depuis Vienne. Avec le pass interail c’est 200€ par personne. ça me parait excessif ! Nous avons déjà fait des trains de nuits en Europe et même en 1ère classe, ça ne dépasse jamais 40€ par personne.Est ce quelqu’un a une expérience de ce voyage ?

Hi,I’m going to Switzerland and Italy with my family (2 adults, 2 youths), and am having a hard time figuring out if it’s worth buying a Eurail or Swiss Half Fare or both...here’s my itinerary…May 6 - Land in MunichMay 8 - Munich to LuzernMay 9 - Luzern to Interlaken to Wengen (stay 3 days and travel Jungfraujoch and several other local trains/gondolas)May 12 - Wengen to Zermatt (2 days)May 14 - Zermatt to Milan (1 day)May 15 - Milan to Como to Menaggio (3 days)May 18 - Menaggio to Como (2 days)May 20 - Como to Milan MXP  (1 day then fly home)Does it make sense to buy Eurail Global 4 days for the Munich to Luzern, and then the Zermatt to Como, Como to Menaggio, Menaggio to Como, Como to Milan, and use a Swiss Pass when in Switzerland?It wasn’t clear to me if Eurail gets me anything other than the major routes and a 25% discount on Jungfraujoch.Also, Swiss full pass vs half fare?Any other advice

We are a couple that are planning to do a trip around Europe with our puppy, even if he is a young puppy, he will not be able to travel as a "luggage" due to size. Are there any countries we should avoid? Which countries are best for traveling with a pet? We dont mind paying, we just want it to be as hassle free as possible.

Hi allWoild anyone know if there is a “lost & found” contact (email) for the Italian rail company which I can approach for help. I lost my Apple AirPod Pro on 26 February. I think I must have misplaced it around Tirano. The last time I used the AirPod was during travel on Bernina Express on the day.  I only realized tthat I lost it today when I have flown out of Italy already. We travelled on Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano on 26 February.   On the same say, from Tirano we travelled to Milan on a train that departed on around 1:40 pm (it was supposed to leave around 1:08pm but got delayed) 

I have several train journeys planned in June and July, through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech republic.Most of the trips which include train changes, are shown on the journey planner, can I assume one ticket for these. I have had to add some manually, one especially involves 4 trains. Do I have to add each train separately, so they can be activated on the day

This is the email I got from SJ regarding Stockholm - Narvik train: Traffic stop VassijaureThere has been a traffic stop in Vassijaure since December due to another operator derailing at the site. This has meant that it has not been possible to operate the route Abisko Östra-Narvik by train. The restoration work has dragged on. The Swedish Transport Administration's latest forecast is that the track will not open for passenger traffic on the section Abisko Östra/Björkliden-Narvik until the last week of May. There will be a limited range of traffic on the stretch Abisko Östra/Björkliden-Narvik during the mentioned period. We have a recurring dialogue with the Swedish Transport Administration about the condition of the track and update if the information changes. You can find more information about the track on the Swedish Transport Administration's websiteVänliga hälsningar

I want to travel from Paris to Madrid but I want to leave Paris in the evening. However there is no direct connection so there only connections like the one from the link below. There you need to change the train in the morning. So my question is if i book this whole journey in advance (2 different trains) do i need 1 or 2 travel days from my global pass?https://www.interrail.eu/de/plan-your-trip/interrail-timetable?ol=Paris+%28France%29&ov=8724855&dl=Madrid+City+%28Spain%29&dv=7199999&vl=&vv=&t=1721210451173&ar=false&rt=&tt=&mc=&mct=1

Apologies for the novice question. I am travelling from London to Athens using the global pass. It feels sensible to work back so I am trying to book my last journey first - Thessaloniki to Athens on 26 July. I have seen some info saying you can only book from a local greek train station (very unhelpful if true) and other info that you can book online in advance. I have looked at the Hellenic website but that doesn’t show any trains for the 26th July but this is a popular route. Surely that can’t be right?My two questions:Where can I find the times of these trains because no where seems to say they have any trains on this route on this day, which seems strange?Can I book a ticket in advance for this train, if so what is the best website to do which takes interail global pass?All help greatly appreciated.   

Hi all,This is my first time going to Europe and I’ve never purchased a eurail pass before. I will be in Europe for one month. I need to travel to Paris from Spain for 4 days, from Spain to Rome for 4 days, then to Florence 4 days, Positano 4 days, and back to Rome where I fly home. Is it better to buy a Global pass or a 10 day in 2 months pass? Any advice you can give would be helpful.Annette

I am trying to add to my itinerary Paris to Gatwick in June but can’t get a time in the app.  Is this route not offered or am I doing something wrong.  Thanks.

I am organizing an Interrail trip for this summer, and I was planning to travel on July 27 on the Nightjet 40233 from Vienna to Rome. I have seen that trenitallia has already published the summer timetable so I often check to see if the train is already on sale. However, when looking this afternoon I saw that none of the trains that go to Italy (Milan, Venice) are available to buy, and their timetable already came out months ago. I have searched obb scotty and it appears that there is construction work between Villach and tarvisio between July 12 and July 28, so many day trains will not be available and night trains will be rerouted. Therefore I don't know if I should wait for the summer trains to Rome to leave since I'm not sure if the one on the 27th will be available so I don't know if I should start looking at flights. If anyone knows if these trains are going to go on sale one day, please help me. Thank youP.S: All trains that go to Venice before July 12 and after July 2
