Hey,
I got bit a problem here. I took the nighttrain from Budapest to Warsaw yesterday evening 1st October, the departure time was 8 at night. So I put down the 2nd of october as departure was after 7 and I didn't use the ticket anywhere else yesterday.
So I boarded the train and first inspector checked the ticket stamped it and showed me the right compartment, then another inspector came round to collect all the tickets and we only got them back this morning before we left the train.
So he overwrote the date I put down on the ticket and made a 2nd out of the 1st and then also put in 2nd of october in the next space and thus taking off one day of my 10 valid days!
Of course the inspector was gone by then and his colleague wasn't helpful at all, went to ticket office in warsaw central station and lady there was quite rude and told me night trains require 2 days, after I showed her the guide booklet she told me yes next travel is free don't put down a date no letter no ticket nothing, how am i supposed to explain that the next inspector?
Anyone had similar experience?

Unfortunaltey no luck. Went back to the station but they weren't helpful at all basicly blamed the station master and even refused to listen to me. They were very rude indeed.
I contacted Interrail directly but don't think they can do anything about it :(

The only thing left: write down the date and time and after being back, send a letter to the Polish national railway - and as you did, contact InterRail directly.
Sad that you are the loser but being right. ||
Sorry that I can't help you with more information.
