Frequently asked questions about Interrail timetable
How do I find the latest Interrail train schedules?
You can find up-to-date train schedules using the official Interrail Rail Planner app or national railway websites. Timetables are updated regularly, especially around December and June when seasonal changes occur.
Are all trains included in the Interrail timetable?
Most national and international trains are included, but some private or scenic lines may require separate tickets or offer discounts. Always check the Interrail coverage map and participating railway list before planning.
Do I need to reserve seats for every train?
No, seat reservations are only mandatory for certain high-speed, international, and night trains. Regional and many intercity trains can be boarded freely with your pass, but reservations are recommended during peak travel.
How far in advance should I check train schedules?
It’s best to check schedules a few weeks before your trip, as timetables can change seasonally or due to maintenance. For popular routes or during events, check and book reservations as early as possible.
What happens if my train is delayed or canceled?
If your train is delayed or canceled, you can usually take the next available service with your Interrail Pass. If you have a seat reservation, speak to station staff for assistance or rebooking.
Can I use the Interrail Pass on night trains?
Yes, but you’ll need to reserve a seat, couchette, or sleeper berth in advance. Night trains count as travel days according to the calendar date, so plan accordingly.
Are airport trains included in the Interrail timetable?
Some airport trains are included (like NS trains between Schiphol and Amsterdam), while others (like Heathrow Express) are not. Always check the Interrail coverage list for details.
How do I know if a train requires a reservation?
In the Rail Planner app and on official timetables, trains that require reservations are marked with an “R” or similar symbol. You can also check on the Interrail website or at station ticket counters.
Can I make changes to my travel plans last minute?
Yes, with Interrail you have the flexibility to change your route or departure time on most trains, except those requiring reservations. For reserved trains, changes depend on availability and reservation policies.
Do trains run every day, including holidays?
Most trains run daily, but schedules may be reduced on major holidays or during strikes. Always check the timetable for your specific travel date.
