Hello!

I'm looking to travel from Berlin to Warsaw, on the Berlin Warszawa Express (BWE) which leaves at 9.40 from Berlin Hbf.

On this page ([u]https://rail.cc/en-type-country/berlin-warszawa-express/pkp-bwe/77[/u]) it says that a reservation would cost 4 Euro, but when I look up the train on the railcc reservation page it says it will be £28! :o

In order to get the 4 Euro reservation, will I have to buy the ticket in Berlin?

Many thanks,

Fred

Hej Fred,

in that case, buy it at the station in Berlin. :)

Hello,
I have the Eurail Pass and I want to go from Berlin to Warsaw (I know Poland is not included in the pass). According to the following link posted by you (if I have this pass I only have to pay 4 Euros to get there). Although there are no train changes specified in the link, I was told that the price is way more expensive because poland is no included and that i need to make a train exchange in the borderline between germany and poland.... do you know if this is true?????

This is the link of the train i would like to take!!!

true? yes and no.
TRains fares are set by the countries you pass by. So if you have a pass, exclude PL, then you simply have to pay that section-from the border tariff point, at the fare you qualify for. They are NOT like airplanes and companies.
In your case its most likely better to not waste a passday for the 100 kms from Berlin to border- book a cheaper advance single (no change permitted) for 29 eur-can also do via the railcc site.
IN Poland there are many special offers, valid IN PL only and most ONLY on some part of the trainsystem for rail-explorers. You can only but tose with zloty at a PKP-station.
