Hi
As you might remember I had trouble making a reservation from Berlin to Flensburg on the 14th of july (first day of replacement buses along that route), i finally succeeded in making a reservation to Hamburg but Hamburg - Flensburg I got a message reservation not possible AFTER checkout. Now I tried again and now the message is reservation not possible fully booked, also AFTER checkout :|

But then when I look at my account on bahn.de

[quote]My last booking
Rail service Berlin Hbf (tief) - Flensburg
Travel date: 14.07.2014 – date of booking: 17.05.2014 – Transaction: WT1MLO[/quote]

That says to Flensburg?? When I look at the details it says Berlin-Hamburg?

Whats up here? Is the service full just because it is replacement busses? Could you help?

Where did the message reservation not possible fully booked up? For what train? ICE 380?

This train cannot be reserved only also for example one day earlier on Sunday - this is when the train operates normally...so the issue is not due to the bus replacement.
The train wont be fully booked and I also do not see a problem getting the reservation (if you really want to get one) somewhere at a station during your trip (provided that the reservation issue appears only online). :)

IC386 - sorry, should of course have written that. Dep 09.30 from Hamburg.

and yes, the fully booked -message appears in the last step, just as the old one did :'( really confusing this...

OK. This train is normally operated with a Danish trainset; during the track construction works it is likely that they are going to use a German trainset since the Danish train will be needed (and maintained) in Denmark. It may be that this train cannot be reserved (yet) since they might use a spare regional train for the Hamburg - Flensburg portion where you cannot make reservations.
