Fernzüge sind ziemlich reservierungspflichtig, Nachtzüge auch, ich hab die Reise aber nur drei Wochen vorher geplant und gebucht. Alles via <a href="https://swiss.social/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a>, Buchungen bei sj.se online, bei vr.fi am Telefon, bei dsb.dk (Reservierung) online.</p>
Ben Clifford<p>In the slightly unusual situation where I have unmetered London transport for the day but only on the Overground and Elizabeth lines and only till midnight, not the traditional 0430</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.hawaga.org.uk/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a></p>
Ben Clifford<p>After a few years, finally had my ID/residence checked on an <a href="https://mastodon.hawaga.org.uk/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> ticket - Woking to Clapham Junction, South Western Railway - on a route where the checker was hacking everyone's railcards etc</p>
Moof! 🏳️‍🌈<p>And we start off on another <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a> adventure with a regional train from Agrigento Centrale to Palermo Centrale. This will be the first 2 hours of a 27-hour trip, accompanied by the amazing <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@dubiousblur" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>dubiousblur</span></a></span>, and ending in Torino tomorrow afternoon.</p><p>This Alstom Coradia “Minuetto” EMU is pretty comfortable, has level access and space for bikes, and an accessible toilet. </p><p>It’s one of several different Coradias I’ve seen in Italy, all with music-themed names. I’ve also seen “Jazz” and “Pop” models, and I gather “Rock” is also an option.</p><p>Whilst not exactly a fast train, I suspect it’s more to do with line restrictions, as it’s an old mountain route that is mostly single track, than anything else. Yesterday’s trip down on this unit was on time at most of the stations, and in fact arrived 4 mins early at the terminus.</p>
Ben Clifford<p>slightly scammy feeling about the reservations Munich-&gt;Paris on <a href="https://mastodon.hawaga.org.uk/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> were 21 euros but the DB website seems to think they cost 5 euros?</p>
Ben Clifford<p>&gt; For example: 22.45 (24hr clock used) - notice you need to use one dot between HH.MM</p><p>WAAA WAAA the <a href="https://mastodon.hawaga.org.uk/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> delay compensation form has a free text field for you to enter your actual arrival time and then WAAA WAAAAAAA when you pressed : instead of . and then submit</p>
TrainsDirects<p>Grand voyage <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/InterRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InterRail</span></a> cette année. Je suis au 3/4 d'un mois de voyage autour de la Baltique. </p><p>Le train quel mode de transport génial pour appréhender les continuités territoriales tout en prenant soin de son bilan carbone ! L'Europe est une réalité : depuis le départ, je n'ai pas eu à sortir mon passeport pour franchir les nombreuses frontières croisées. </p><p>A mon retour, on va lancer le plan de travail de l'AEDTF (Association Européenne pour le Développement du Transport Ferroviaire), ThinkTank du rôle du rail dans les mobilités, dont je viens de prendre la présidence.</p>

Trainfo.eu<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@Bubu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Bubu</span></a></span> </p><p>Let's say you buy "7 days in a month", that month ends at 23:59 the last day. <br>E.g. July 13 --&gt; August 12 23:59.</p><p>i.e. the <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> pass is not valid anymore after that time. After 23:59 on August 12 it expires.</p><p>You have to be home before 23:59 (scheduled time) on the last day of validity period. Night trains are practically impossible on the last day of _validity_, regardless of how many _travel_days_ you have left.</p>
Moof! 🏳️‍🌈<p>So, whilst I’m technically not on an <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a> yet til Monday, we decided to add a little side trip to our impromptu extra long stay in Sicily. We are heading down to do a sunset tour of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento tomorrow. Total extra cost is 11.40€ per person on a 2 hour regional train. And the hotel in Agrigento is half the price of the Palermo one. </p><p>You don’t need Interrail to be flexible travelling, but it helps!</p>
Bubu :progress_pride:<p>I have an <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> question. <a href="https://www.interrail.eu/en/support/interested-in-interrailing/what-is-a-travel-day" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">interrail.eu/en/support/intere</span><span class="invisible">sted-in-interrailing/what-is-a-travel-day</span></a> states about "what is a travel day" and night trains:</p><p>* If you don't have a changeover after midnight then that only counts as one travel day instead of 2<br>* but somehow this does not work on the last day of the pass? ("Note: you cannot use your Eurail Pass to take a night train on your last travel day as the validity period will expire at 23:59.")</p><p>The second part is oddly confusing to me right now. Can someone confirm/explain that?</p>
Ben Clifford<p>Today (and yesterday) in <a href="https://mastodon.hawaga.org.uk/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> - the South Western gate lines don't even beep at me in rejection for my Aztec ticket like they aren't even trying to read it.</p><p>Heading to Egham, with quite a variety of routes available right now.</p>
Johnny<p>Does anyone know of a way to get from Germany to Sweden within a single day that doesn't involve flying or the EC train from Hamburg to Copenhagen?</p><p>The latter is fully booked, I was too late to reserve a seat... I plan to leave in 1 week. </p><p>:BoostOK:</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/BahnBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BahnBubble</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/CrossBorderRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CrossBorderRail</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a></p>

Ian<p>Filed under dull but good to know, Mockava/Suwalki is one of those places where the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a> app can go funny.<br>There's a known issue when it has limited but more than zero bandwidth, and can hang when you try to show your digital ticket. (It just did it to me.)<br>The solution is to switch off mobile data and relaunch. The app is happy running offline, as long as you've been online in last couple of days.<br>Here endeth today's <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/EuropeanRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuropeanRail</span></a> lesson.</p>
Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺<p>I've just spent an hour trying to book seats on two Slovakian rail trips for our next Interrail holiday. </p><p>In the end I did it the easy &amp; expensive way on the Interrail website rather than the complicated &amp; cheap way through ZSSK or CZ. <br>It was wierd because RailEurope (my preferred option) claimed reservations weren't required - and I know they are.</p><p>There's still one journey where I'm still outside the booking window.</p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interrail</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/TatrasTrainTrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TatrasTrainTrip</span></a></p>
