Hi.
Do it without reservations! :)

[b]Lille Flandres[/b] dep: 1208 | Regional train - free of extra fees
[b]Gent St Pieters[/b] arr: 1303

[b]Gent St Pieters[/b] dep: 1315 | IR train - free of extra fees
[b]Bruxelles-Midi[/b] arr: 1346

[b]Bruxelles-Midi[/b] dep: 1425 | ICE train - free of extra fees
[b]Köln Hbf[/b] arr: 1615

[b]Köln Hbf[/b] dep: 1628 | ICE train - free of extra fees
Some minutes later there is a direct IC train as well if the ICE is too busy.
[b]Berlin Hbf[/b] arr: 2134

You see: all free of extra fees. If you want you can optionally buy a reservation at the ICE from Cologne (Köln) to Berlin, as it might get busy at this time of the day.
This reservations should be available online: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]

11 euro for 2 about right for the reservation on the 1628 direct from cologne?

Yes. I think it is per person: 4,50 EUR plus 1 EUR processing fee.

Hi Peter

I am just about to order the reservation for the koln to berlin train - is there any way it can be emailed to print rather than post as it may not get here by sunday when i leave.....

Never mind - i finally worked out how to do it on DB and it is a little cheaper - sorry

Hi.
No problem. But it's always the same problem. The big companies only sell tickets to cheap prices - and destroy the projects who really help. As these smaller projects have a lot of work answering all the questions, finding out all the information. But finally doesn't earn nothing at all.

It would certainly be very useful if people could download their reservations from you rather than having to have them posted.

Yes it would ... but some railway companies are still in the last century and it is technically not possible. ;)

Is it not possible for some - As i say i went with DB because they do - surely if you are linked in with their system you could?
