hiya, i'm trying to book 2 reservations for a 6-berth Couchette on the Amsterdam - Prague CityNightLine on 26-07-09, the 19:01 train. I followed these instructions, but I can't see an option for book only extra charge, the only one i can see is book selected offer. Does this mean there are no fares left for interrail pass holders on this train, or have I missed something obvious?

Thanks!

hi ...
I think the problem is that the train neither starts or ends in Germany. I tried to book Amsterdam to Berlin (where the train stops at 04:21h in the morning) - this was possible.
So mmmh... no solution for you - only the one to do it at a station ... or to book Amsterdam to Berlin and just stay in the train... should normally work as well, as it is a night train and no one will enter the train at 0421h in the morning.

Berlin is definitely worth to have a stay... :)
if you leave the night train at 0421h in the morning, you only have 500 meters to the [b]Brandenburger Tor[/b] and at the same time you just cross the [b]Reichstag[/b] (old building of the government) ...
a very relaxing and peaceful area ... and as you do it in the morning, the air is fresh, you have a park close by... definitely cool to have a short stop (okay, Berlin is also worth staying 3 nights!).
then continue at 0800 or something like this with a direct and free EC train to Prague (journey of 4:30h) ... [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
