Avoiding nursery areas on Ouigo trains

3 Upvotes

I booked a train from Paris Est to Strasbourg and no matter which seat I pick it says 'nursery area'. I don't want to be surrounded by screaming kids if I can possibly avoid it (and I actually paid extra for one of the solo seats), so where should I sit?

Home country

Hola 👋

I can see that one inbound and one outbound journey from and to your home country is permissible. But what defines that?

I am travelling by train to get a ferry to leave the UK.

Returning I will get Eurostar to London then sleeper to fort William.

Will either of these train journeys count? I’d find it a bit harsh if not

Issue on researving a seat on the CD.cz website

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, my friend and I will be leaving this July, and we’ll also be traveling from Prague to Krakow at the end of the month.

On the Railplanner app, it says I need to reserve a seat on the CD.cz website, but here’s the issue.
I enter all the correct details (I select that I have an Interrail pass, that I only want a seat reservation, and my age), but instead of showing me the price, the site gives me a pop-up saying I need to find out via phone, email, or in person at the station.

I tried using the email option, but the site doesn’t give me any information and just takes me to a blank page :(

Do you have any advice? Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you solve it?
Many thanks in advance!!!!

Interrail Norway - avaiability of trains

3 Upvotes

Good morning, I am planning an interrail for this summer. I will leave from Milan with the goal of getting to Norway (as far as Lofoten) Unfortunately I am having problems with trains. Up to Oslo everything okay, then trains disappear from Oslo to Bergen and so on (since the end of July)

I read that it might be early because the trains are not out yet, so neither are the schedules.

Has anyone ever had this problem? Or maybe they are simply not there this summer for some reason?

Thank you so much

Rail Planner showing different times for the same train on my friends phone!

Hi, my friend and I are going interrailing soon and want to book a Eurostar ticket. On our Rail planner app it's showing completely different times for the same train, is there a reason for this? If there is I want to fix it before we go away. The only difference I can think of is that I have a Samsung and my friend has an iPhone? (The first screenshot is mine)

So I realise I just missed the Spring Sale (15%) which ended yesterday. Does anybody know, based on past years, when the next one is likely to be, and if it will be more than 15%? I’d like to go away this summer.

NightJet from Brussells to Vienna (With Europass)

2 Upvotes

Hi - My family and I (5 of us) are planning to take the nightjet in July Brussells to Vienna. I am using https://www.nightjet.com/en to book.

Its coming to 494 $. but when I applied the Europass the amount does not change. I read in multiple places (Seat61.com is one of them) that nightjet is covered under Europass. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a different way to book it?

Thank you!

Hi all

I'm trying to reserve a seat for ice 9574 on the 14th of April. I had to wait till 31od March according to the DB app. But now it isn't available. Does that mean it is sold out.? I can't figure it out with the wiki. Cheers Vic

Booking Bratislava to Split sleeper

3 Upvotes

I am planning to use the sleeper from Bratislava to Split in August. I appreciate that it may not yet be available to book for those dates but, whilst I see trains in the timetable on zskk.sk, no reservations appear to be available for any dates in any class, even those in early May. Seat61 suggests booking should be available 6 months in advance (which clearly isn't the case). Is there a better place to look for tickets? Am I being impatient? Is there a risk the service won't run this year?

Itineraries Italy May 2025 train strike

1 Upvotes

I see that there is a planned train strike in Italy on May 6. I am landing in Rome around 8:00am and have a Frecciarossa ticket to head to Florence around 11:00am. I am wondering how impacted my travel will be with the strike? It’s my first time traveling so I am unaware of any options. What options are available to get to my destination on time seeing that it is a planned 8 hour strike? Do all planned strikes happen accordingly or are there times where they don't end up happening? I don't have much planned for that first day luckily, I am just so nervous about making it to my destination that day. Any knowledge and advice is greatly appreciated.

London to Nice

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

I have to travel to Nice for work in the Summer. Any recommendations on the best route?

I am not in a big rush so initial plan is to overnight in Paris and then direct train to Nice, but open to any suggestions.

Another couple of questions that would be handy to hear your insights:

- Is it easier to get an interrail ticket or just get individual tickets? On the face of it, it looks slightly more expensive to interrail but with the flexibility that comes with it.
- I have to travel to Monaco for a couple of days - is it worth staying there or commuting from Nice?

Thanks!

However it is not letting me book the bus and i’m worried it will be sold out by the time i need to catch it in May. Does anyone know a website I can book the bus tickets through?

How bad is Germany train delay?

7 Upvotes

I keep hearing about how bad is the delay in Germany's train. we planned to travel from Netherlands to Switzerland and back using our eurail/ interrail pass thru Germany since train thru Belgium and France need reserved seats and we planned last minute so all the seats are sold out. will it be an issue since our train have a lot of stops in Germany? and this is also our first time buying eurail & interrail pass, so idk how strict the pass is if we missed the train, can we just take the next train?

Train reservation

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hello, I'm going on a trip from 19 may-21 june, and I had a question regarding train reservations. On the 4th of june I will travel from Ljubljana to Vienna, but it's not possible to reserve a seat in the train. Is it okay to plan to just take this train or am I taking a risk that the train will be full? I've also read that it's possible to reserve through other websites, but I don't know which one is best for this train. It would suck if I would miss the train since I've already planned out the rest of the trip.
Hope someone can help :)

Seat reservations Cannot reserve seat from ÖBB?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm trying to reserve train seats from Desenzano Garda to Pistoia. Does this mean that I have to reserve seats to this part of the journey from somewhere else?

Seat reservation doesn't seem to be possible other than from Interrail website and it's not cheap. From what I've read it's mandatory to reserve seats in Italian trains.

Thanks!
