Hello,
first of all, I would like to thank you for the work you do here. Your website has been extremely useful in planning my first Interrail and as a person who loves trains and train travel in general I greatly appreciate that.
I would like to travel with 3 other people on the night train from Belgrade to Thessaloniki the 17 of august, but i have a problem which is that the Interrail reservation service does not work in Greek trains. Also, I would arrive in Belgrade the same day at 6 AM approx (with another night train) and I am afraid I will not be able to make a reservation for the train or that it will already be full.
Do you know if there is some way (online, by telephone, etc...) to make a reservation for the train? And if that is not possible, is the train usually full in these dates? (to know if i could make a reservation at the station the same day).
I would prefer to sleep in a couchette but if i have to travel in seats I could also do it.
Thank you for your time.

Hi and welcome to railcc!
Thank you for your kind words! :)
Regarding the reservation...you can make the reservation for this night train easily at railway stations in many countries in central Europe - should be no problem to get it at (international) ticket desks at stations in Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany,...(I always bought my couchette reservation for this train at my local station in Austria).
Since you will probably arrive in Belgrade with the night train from Budapest you could also contact Wasteels agency in Budapest: [ux]https://rail.shop/wasteels/[/ux]
Enjoy the trip - sadly there will be a replacement bus service from Gevgelija to Thessaloniki all summer long: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/belgrade-skopje-thessaloniki-train/[/ux]
