I'd avoid Interrail because of the extra fees.
Also, booking to Chiasso is enough and you save another €3.

Works on Rail Europe.
I've notices that on Γ–BB random trains sometimes don't work. And also that their ticket module is updated less frequently than their timetable module, so if there's a small timetable change, then this may happen as long as they don't update the booking module.

Er blijkt geen 30% weekendkorting te zijn voor de EC. Dus ook geen gecombineerde korting. Best wel geniepig.

Accuracy in Italy looks better than in France. In any case, it's not rounded to 5 minutes and updated regularly.

It's as accurate as SNCF realtime reporting is, I guess, which unfortunately isn't very good.

You're entitled to 1. A full refund of the new ticket. 2. Compensation for delay on the original ticket.

Hoe vaak zou die aansluiting gaan lukken? Ze leggen misschien beter alvast wat hotel- en taxibonnen klaar...

Die Liegen im marokkanischen Nachtzug sahen auch so aus. Ich weiß nicht mehr, ob es Einweg- oder MehrwegbettwÀsche gab.

Maybe SnΓ€lltΓ₯get will then finally have sleeper carriages?

So it looks like SJ won't be involved anymore, but RDC are looking for ways to continue operation.

SJ don't want to renew their contract with RDC, but there's no decision yet about what's going to happen with the night train.

The old timetable in the RPA may well be the same as the new one, with the intermediate status being no timetable. It might also be something completely different.

Possible scenario: SJ very recently decided to run this train, or uploaded a changed timetable. That information is not yet in the DB planner and the Rail Planner app has an even older timetable.

I don't remember exactly but it could have been in PACA.

Maybe they're not done yet with this unit? I've certainly been on a renovated AGC earlier this year and it had new seat upholstery.

The price looks right, but a reservation is not mandatory.

The gauge-changing service doesn't have any supplement or mandatory reservations. It's just that they don't allow standees AFAIK.

I read the ferry companies and Irish Rail haven't stopped selling them. I haven't verified. TfW can't seem to be bothered to input the changed ferry times into the system, so they just removed them.

Dus jullie hebben de Talgo-treinen opgegeven? Die zouden immers op deze lijn komen.

In Belgien bekommt man auch 3, schon seit 2 Jahren oder so. In Schweden bekommt man 4.

Reservierung in der Tat ΓΌber Interrail, mit den bekannten EinschrΓ€nkungen und Problemen.

They have to respond within 1 month, or 3 months with a notice within 1 month. You could ask the Belgian enforcement body to look into this breach of the EU Regulation...

I now see the delays on the SNCF, NMBS and DB websites. Also on the Eurostar website, but I suspect that's manual input or copied from SNCF, since it doesn't match with the actual delays as reported by NMBS and DB. IIRC the infrastructure managers share the data.

Bei dir gibt's in der Tat nichts zu schlichten. Bei vielen anderen aber schon. Die Pflichtreservierung will natürlich die SNCF, aber es ist die DB, die ziemlich gut verbirgt (und das auch weiß), dass eine normale Reservierung für Interrail nicht ausreicht.
