Hi

Me and my friends (we are 4), are planning an interrail and we have some questions...

1) We are portuguese and we will choose a pass 10-22. Imagine that the ticket is valid from 08/07 to 29/07, and we will leave portugal at 08/07. The ticket is valid on the trip from Portugal to Spain? Or will we have to buy another ticket to go to spain and then begin with the interrail global pass?

2) We can travel during 10 days. From 00:01 'till 23:59, day XX. We can travel as much times as we want that day? Imagine we want to visit two cities at the same day, we will have to travel two times. Is it possible?

3) We have already planned the places that we want to see. We want to go from spain to france and then england, but, if we decide to see another country, for example, belgium, can we?

I hope you can answer me this questions quicly ;)

Thank you,
Jorge

1) ticket is valid from border portugal|spain. in your country you can have some special discount(ask on rail station or call information...)

2) yes. once i used even 7 trains in the same day!

3) ask yourself: does anybody know where are you going to(i mean people from rail companies)? you can go whereever you want. nobody won't ask you where are you going to. just show the ticket :)

something to add for (1) ... you get a 50% discount on the normal train ticket until the Portuguese/Spanish border:

but think about a night bus leaving to Madrid:

Ok, now I know exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks!

But i have another question: :o

When I buy an interrail global pass 10-22, and we are a group of 4, each of us have to buy a ticket or only one to all of us (in group)?

Sorry all this questions,

Thank you :P

may be 1 ticket for all people? :P

of course you have to buy 4 tickets. each ticket will have your name, surname and e.g. number of your ID or passport.

Sorry, I cannot find the answer to my question...

What kinds of trains are available to InterRail 10-22? I think I've already seen IC and EC, but i'm not sure...

Thank you, again

hej ... you can use these trains here on the schedules: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
but on some you have to pay supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
also for a bed in a night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]
buses and local transports in big cities like Metro in Paris, tube in London and so on are not included in InterRail as they belong to private companies and not to the railway companies of the countries.
