hi, just wondering about What actually specifies a day? for example if you started your journey at 11.55pm on monday and reached your destination at 00.15 on wednesday would that count as 3 days of travel or 1 day?

also when does one day end and the next begin for example, if travelling on a night train from barcelona to zurich, when you have reached zurich on the day after you left, if you want to then take the next local train to your final destination does this next train then count as your second day of travelling or can you coninue that first day?

thanks a million.

A day is from 00:00 - 23:59, no matter how many trains you travel on. HOWEVER, if you leave on a night train (EN, CNL etc) after 19:00 and arriving the next day, you can put this down as the following day on your ticket, so you are effectivly getting a day from 19:00 - 23:59 (29hrs).

There is a whole topic on this confusing rule here [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]

Hi,

I plan going from BARCELONA to GENOVA using local trains because I don't need reservations. This means changing trains on the route:

- Barcelona-Nice, 4 local trains
- waiting in Nice from 20:25 to 05:46 (the next day)
- Nice-Genova, 2 local trains

This means a total of [b]6 trains [/b]and a lot of time [b](9:16 am to 10:02 am, the next day)[/b]

:?: Just to be sure: Does this mean two days on my InterRail Pass 10 out of 22? Can I change as many trains as I like during one day?
