Hey guys!

I'm trying to sort a night train from Paris-Port Bou for the 26th of June. I wanted to reserve the seats for us cos of the restrictions for people with interrail passes. I tried this website uk.voyages-sncf.com/en/ (please use our partner link [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] to support all the free information on railcc - thank you) and it let me reserve them but you can only get the tickets delivered within the UK and I'm in Ireland.

So I figured I could reserve them on en.voyages-sncf.com/en/ (please use our partner link [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] to support all the free information on railcc - thank you) but the option doesn't seem to be there.

We need to get to Barcelona by the 27th so I don't want to risk arriving in Paris the morning of the 26th and not being able to get a seat on the train, any suggestions? Thanks

Hi!

The UK version of the SNCF website is (still) a bit different to those of other countries; correct InterRail reservations are only available on the UK version.
You could still get Abo Forfait reservations as either e-ticket or collect them at a ticket machine in Paris; these Abo Forfait reservations are not officially considered InterRail reservations but usually accepted by staff. Also, the reservation fare for couchettes is usually the same for both Abo Forfait and InterRail reservations.

You can also look on [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux] if the reservation for the night train is available there. 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! :)
