Hello!
(Hope this is the right forum)
I have big problems with buying train reservation at this moment.
I have a Global Interrail Pass, and I want to book some seat reservation - not full train tickets.
It is about the trip München - Bologna Centrale. (Im going to Rome)
It is the 24. Marts at 09:38 and the train EC 85.
When I try to book it under this site, it simply says Failed every time I try. ANd then I am trying to buy it over bahn.de i do not have the option to choose that i already got interrail pass. So I'll have to pay full price.
Is there anyone who can help me?
(And now I have some more experienced people around me) CAn anyone tell me there I can buy tickets (again with my interrail pass) so I can cross the british channel? (From Paris)
Any help is more than welcome ! :)

Hi!
Seat reservations on the DB website [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] are only possible for domestic connections within Germany. The online reservation tool at [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux] is run by our partner ACP Rail and cannot always offer reservations for all trains.
The standard way to get reservations is to do so at a ticket desk at a station - that also applies in this case. Moreover you could get the supplement on this route on the train as well.
Regarding your trip to London: If you want to take Eurostar you have to calculate with about 85€ one way, tickets for InterRail pass holders are only available via phone directly at Eurostar.
Instead, I recommend to use a ferry connection instead which will be much cheaper but of course also take much more time. If you want to plan ahead you might also think about getting a regular ticket for the Eurostar which can be cheaper than the passholder reservation.

Thanks for your answer!
I have once try to travel by the ferry from dover - and I do find it as a fine solution. As far I can see, It would cost 40-45 € per. person to travel with EuroStar from Paris to London (in the period I am interested in).
I have a new question I hope you can help me with.
I have been searching a lot on different rail-sites and ran into the one raileur*pe-world.com and it seems to me that they have several tickets options. More than I can find here.
For an example. They have a route from Milano to Paris, which I am planning to take. But I can see it is not an option to buy these tickets from here? Is there anyone who knows this site well? I cannot really find out is the site for Euraill or can you also buy via. interrail global passes on raileur*pe-world.com?
It confuses me very much that it seems cheaper to buy a point to point ticket than try to book a ticket with a train pass. So my very dump question is:
* is raileur*pe-world also for interrail pass holders?
* or is it possible to buy train reservations from milano to paris through your site and through interrail pass?
Hope you understand what I am saying. I am a bit of a rookie in this :)

As we are not affiliated with the site you mentioned I cant give you much advice, but this site is aimed at travellers from overseas as there are no options for InterRail there as far as I can see.
You can buy your InterRail ticket in the online shop of our partner ACP Rail at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] if you want to support our work and the free information we offer.
I do not know which exact Milan - Paris route you mean - there are many different options available.
