Hi, Im planning for my europe tour route with a Global Inter rail pass..
I started fine till I reached rome.. Here's my prob:
1. From Rome to Florence/Pisa, it seems like there's no train for it? Ive checked the railcc Train Networks, and I cant found any.. But I searched B-rail, there seem to be a connection. So, is it possible to get on the one stated by B-rail?
2. Then From Florence to Switzerland is another prob.. sigh.. any ways to get to switz from florence? I saw there's a train from milan to zurich and another from tirano to st. Moritz.. If so, will there be trains from Florence to Milan or Florence to tirano?
3. From switzerland to munich.. I saw a connection from Basel to Munich.. any other ways to munich? Also, from St. Moritz to Zurich/Basel/Bern, is there any connections?
4. From Munich to Luxumbourg.... again... I cant see trains..
Sorry, this is my first time planning for a interrail trip.. So many questions.. Haha.. but once cleared, I'll get the passes from u guys yea!
ALso, is the B-rail search reliable? thanks alot..

Hi.
Important to know: the railcc schedules are hand-made schedules to show possible options, saving on trains with extra reservation fees.
These are example routes. Of course there are much more available, like you said via the b-rail planner:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
It is simply not possible to show all available connections in Europe by hand-made schedules. :)
Always check the extra fees on trains: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
Especially in Italy you can save a lot of extra money avoiding the Eurostar trains.
If this answer helps, it's fine. If you need more help, let me know.
Peter :)

Hey.. Thanks Peter.. It helps a lot of in my planning.. However, when I look at the B-rail planner, it has some statements such as subject to reservation and subject to COMPULSORY reservation may I know what's the difference?
Also, i was looking at a night train from Vienna to Venice.. There's a night train from Vienna to Venice at 8.40pm-8.34 am.. However, when I want to reserve on railcc, it states that im unable to reserve it online.. May I know where to reserve it?
Sorry for so many questions.. but i still have one more question to ask you.. hehe.. From Zurich to Munich, where can I reserve the tickets? I tried to go on DB Bahn but when it came to the reservation page, there's no INTERRAIL card holder option for me to choose.. does it mean that i cant reserve thru the website too? May I know wat are the alternatives?
Thank you so much for helping mate..

Hi.
The information mentioned at this schedule planer isn't important for you. It is NOT an Interrail schedule planer - there is no one existing. That's the reason why we publish our handmade schedules. :)
Only important for you is this information: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
Find connections via the schedule planer and compare them to the given link.
But first check our schedules, so will save your time comparing all details. :)
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Vienna - Venice:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/vienna-venice-en-237/96[/u]
The reservation is currently not available online.
Buy it some where before on a railway station during your rail trip, for example in Switzerland, Germany, ...
Zurich - Munich:
No reservation required on this route.
Use for example the direct EC train, dep: 0916, arr: 1329
And don't forget to purchase your Railpass here at railcc if you want to support our project.
Thank you, Peter :)

re RES:
daft easy:
Compulsory; MUST reserve, anyone, all the time. Cost extra. In IT 3 eur for IC and 10 eur for the superfast Hi-speed FreciaRossa.
Subject to; CAN-if you wish. This is in nearly all long-distance trains.
BUT: as this is about IT-you should know what has been discussed here many times; with an IR for the IC/ICN trains you do not need to reserve (cost is 3 eur/ride) but you should know that all Italians get an automatic RES with their normal ticket and that seats are not marked (unlike in other countreis) -so you will likely end up standing as someone comes to claim your seat. esp. for ICN=notte=night not a wise way to save 3 eur.
