Hi
Now I got into trouble again. Try to search the forum but didnt find my answer, I´m probably not that good at searching :|
I want to make a reservation for Berlin-Vejle (Billund, but Vejle-Billund is bus and that is not included in the pass, right?) - since the construction work I guess there might be reduced number of trains going this way and I dont want to tell the kids that Legoland is cancelled ;) Better safe than sorry that is.
Well, on bahn.de I can only by reservation only to Flensburg, not all the way to Vejle, is there another way to do this or do I have to split it and make one reservation to Flensburg and one From Flensburg to Vejle?
And is there a railcc-link to dsb.dk?

Hi.
If you want to buy a reservation for border crossing, it is not possible on [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] - you have to do this at a ticket window - in Germany, but should also be possible already in Sweden and other countries.
There is no railcc link to DSB.
Vejle to Legoland is not included in Interrail. Have a look here for connections: www.rejseplanen.dk
The price should be ~EUR 12 for an adult and ~EUR 6 for a kid, one-way.
Maybe there are special offers available from Legoland?!

Well, as you know, there are hardly any ticket windows left in Sweden :( :((
If I buy a reservation to Flensburg, would you anticipate us getting into trouble getting on the replacement bus to Fredricia? In DK I know there is no issues with the trains and seat reservations, worst case we will sit on our backpack :D The bus fares you mention seems resonable, I think we might get cheaper off buing a klippekort but I will ask my co-workes in Copenhagen to help me out there.
Looking now on rejseplanen.dk It might be a better option for us to take a dsb-bus directly to Billund without going via Vejle, vill be one our more by bus :P :'( but about an hour less travel time in total... on the other hand, that will not be included in interrail-passes...

There is no reservation required for the trains from Germany to Denmark. you can just enter and sit down on a free seat.
So the bus replacement is calculated to have enough seats in the buses for all passengers arriving by trains in Flensburg. No worries. :)

They wont be going with reduced number of carriages then? (They would in Sweden... ) I´m just worried the train will be full and that we wont be able to get onboard.. But then I might just make a reservation to Flensburg then. Because then I know I have a seat on a train anyway. And if worst thing happens in Flensburg I can always take the bus-route instead :P

which fell through... seat reservation not possible :'(
ICE 380 departure 11.25
I can book until Hamburg on ICE 1706 (departure 7.12), but Hamburg-Flensburg on EC 386 is not possible. The replacement bus isnt until Flensburg so ... strange?

Mmmh... I'm a bit confused. I now tried myself in different combination to find out the train you want.
14.07.2014
Berlin dep 07:12 - ICE
Hamburg arr 08:53
Hamburg dep 09:30 - EC
Flensburg arr 11:22
Here change to the bus replacement in direction of Fredericia
Flensburg dep 11:40 - bus
Fredericia arr 13:25
First I couldn't make a reservation ... and now I can. One reservation for the whole route Berlin-Flensburg.
Try again. You will already know, but just to be sure to talk about the same thing.
Go to [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux]
Fill in the data Berlin Hbf to Flensburg.
And at the bottom: Reservation - seat only - Reservation for seat only (no ticket)
To book the two trains in one step - and pay only once for both trains.
Let me know what's your result.
Peter :)

Yes, the 7.12-departure I can now book, but still not the 11.25-train, it could not be full because if I want to buy tickets for that train I can. We would prefer 11.25 since we do not live that close to Hbf in Berlin it will be a bit of a struggle getting the kids ready and on our way that early...
Do you have any idea why seat reservation is not possible on that train?

upon paying the system said that reservation from Hamburg to Flensburg was impossible (even thought it seemed like it was possible the steps before... ).
I then tried only Hamburg - Flensburg - same result. I can still buy tickets but no reservations.
I must admit, I find this a bit worrying...

Strange - tried now as well until the step to pay and then the same message like for you: reservation not possible.
Wait some days with the booking of the reservation, then it will work.
No worries, you will be able to enter the train, as you can use it without reservation.
