Hi,
I'm in Paris and plan to leave tomorrow evening by night train to Berlin, however when I visit the German rail site it won't let me reserve a bed without buying a ticket.
I don't mind going to the station to do it today, but I don't know what to ask for!
Thanks
Lin

Can you also confirm that it's leaving from Gare d est? I have booked my hostel close by, but the railcc time is wrong on the night train page so I just want to check I am still going to the right station
Thanks

According to [ux]https://plan.rail.cc[/ux], the train should still be leaving at 8.05 pm from Paris Est, as it is shown on railcc. The only thing is that due to construction works you'll arrive in Berlin about an hour later at a different station (Gesundbrunnen instead of main station) which shouldn't be much of a problem unless you have a direct connection there.
Concerning the reservation; have a look here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/paris-berlin-cnl451-455/18[/u]
below the map is explained how you book just the reservation for the seat/bed. And use [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] to support the work behind this site.
have a good trip ;)

Thank you. I wish is asked earlier as the 6.45pm train was completely full. I now have to pay a supplement for the only train leaving Paris, at 7am and it goes through Frankfurt! No matter it's too late now, however I will definitely try the link below for my next night train
Thanks again
