Hello again,
I'm sorry if I've opened another topic to ask this question but maybe it will be useful to other people in the future that will take the same route! I'm having troubles with the reservation for the TGV from Barcelona to Paris, particularly with the one that leaves Barcelona at 9:20 and arrives in Paris at 15:53. The SNCF shows the train on the schedule but it doesn't let me apply the Interrail discount or buy only the reservation, making me pay around 100€ for the ticket. I've tried to search the reservation on the railcc shop but it doesn't show up even if I input earlier dates (my plans are to leave Barcelona 9th August). I've even tried to break the reservations in two, Barcelona-Figueres and Figueres-Paris: it lets me make the first reservations for around 13€ and it shows the right time of departure, but when I select Figueres-Paris it doesn't show up... differently, if I input Perpignan-Paris it appears, but whit another 14€ reservation! :'(
Is there a way to make only a single reservation, so to spare some money, or a less tricky solution?

Hi.
This reservation is only available in Spain or France at a railway station. Not online for now.
Reservations via [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux] is only an extra service from our partner ACP - we don't earn a cent with them.
To support the free information and the forum on railcc, please be fair and buy your official Interrail pass via our railcc partner link: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Thank you! :)
Maybe think about the option traveling with a night train or/and including the Little Yellow Train: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]

Thanks! :)
When will your shop be available again? I wanted to start to buy the train reservations for my summer Internal but now it says to me that there is no train at all, while a month ago it showed me everything. I think you are updating the system or something, am I right? :) If so, when we will be able to buy the reservations again?
Thanks again!

Hi.
The reservation for the direct day train Barcelona to Paris was never available online. And I can't give you details, if it will be available one day or not. Only at train stations in France or Spain.

No, I think I've expressed me wrong!
I'll buy the reservations for the route Barcelona-Paris in France, but now I have three other problems that I didn't have before! A month ago I checked the train reservations for Paris-Hendaye, Irun-Lisbon Santa Apolonia and Lisbon Santa Apolonia-Madrid; all those trains reservations were purchasable on the railcc shop, but not in the dates I've scheduled although they were available in previous dates, so I thought I only had to wait until this month. But now:
- Paris-Hendaye: (I've discussed this argument here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-irun-lisbon-reservation-for-sud-expresso/f10728[/u]) first I was able to find the train, now it says Online prices are currently unavailable for the selected route for ANY date I choose;
- Irun-Lisbon Santa Apolonia: I could find the train on railcc shop, but now it says Petra2Service: 6026 - No timetable found for connection Irun-Lisboa Santa Ap at given date.
- Lisbon Santa Apolonia-Madrid: same as Irun-Lisbon Santa Apolonia.
Please, don't tell me that in this last month things have changed and they are no more available to purchase on your shop, because it will be a tragedy for me and my friends, we love railcc shop :'(

The night trains to/from Portugal are probably not available because booking is blocked by spanish railway RENFE. You can check on the website of RENFE, if the train is bookable there you should be able to get reservations via rail.shop/acprail/reservation as well.
I dont know what the issue is with Paris - Hendaye though.
