Hi there,
I am lookign to get the train from Bruges to Bottrop near Essen, Germany.
I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on this journey and if the Interail ticket covers the journey.
Thank you!

Hi.
Just use a [b]schedule planer[/b]:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
And compare it to the [b]extra fees[/b] section:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
In Benelux simply avoid the THALYS trains!!!
Example connection - all trains free of extra fees:
Brugge dep: 0858 | IC train
Bruxelles-Midi arr: 0955
Bruxelles-Midi dep: 1025 | ICE train
Köln Hbf arr: 1215
Köln Hbf dep: 1227 | ICE train
Essen Hbf arr: 1315
Essen Hbf dep: 1331 | Regional train
Bottrop Hbf arr: 1343
