problem getting my train trip onto travel day

On moblie pass have train journey with Eurostar for 31 july. When I try to add to travel day it says: no outbound/inbound journeys left it looks like you’ve used all your outbound/inbound journeys. youll need to buy a separate ticket to make this journey. Have been able to add another journey from paris with no problem. Appreciate any guidance. If I have begun with a mobile pass, can I change to a paper pass? is this easy to do?I have also requested help from Interrail. Many thanks, barbara

regional train rides within rome

We bought a flexi 3 days Eurail pass for Italy in September, and so far planned 2 out of 3 days. For the last day, I am thinking to use the pass to do regional travel within Rome instead of using the metro. Appreciate suggestions on the train stations worth stopping over that have attractions eg Rome Travestere etc. Thanks.

First Time Europe Train Traveler… Please help with Travel from Venice to Paris!?!

Hello All,My husband and I are planning our 1st trip to Europe and our celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary!!! 🥂💞💐 I am looking for some guidance on the best route to take by train from Venezia Santa Lucia Train Station to Paris Gare de Lyon but I understand it can be another train station and we can take local to get to this one (where our Air B&B is near) the date we will do this is on 4/21/25 or 4/22/25 (which ever date is better for times or cheaper, also can be worked out to do the over night train or slower trains.)We have the global eurail pass, our dates are from 4/13/25-4/27/25, we will have already used it and been in Italy for 8 days and will stay in Paris for 3 days.Then my next question is cheapest way to get from Paris to Brussels (Grand-Place)on 4/25/25 for 2 or 3 hours, then we need to catch a train to London (Waterloo Station) then one to Southampton Central Station (near the port).Any advice or words of travel wisdom would be greatly appreciated 🤗 Thank yo

luggage storage at Interlaken Ost and Geneva

Hi! Is it hard to find luggage lockers at Geneva train station and Interlaken OST station? I am hearing that they get full and hard to find empty ones. We will be there the first week of August and will have 4 small carryon size pieces to store for the day. Also do they accept credit card or we need to have CHF exact change? Do they take euros?

Change journey or not?

Hi my dear fellow Interrailers, I have a question:I already planned and activated my journey from Hamburg to France and back. I wanted to go from Paris to Mannheim with the ICE and researved seats, but now I’d rather go one stop further to Frankfurt. Do you think I have to delete my journey plan and activate the new ticket or is it possible just to keep sitting this one stop in the ICE, even if I have to stand for the one station? Since I’m travelling with my kids and have several trains on the day before Paris I’m not so keen on deleting an re-activating everything.Thanks for your comments :)Nadia
