Hi all,
We were planning to get a reservation on the TGV train from Paris to Zurich at 08.23 on 18th August. When I checked previously this was 19 pound sterling for both passengers on Raileur*pe - this has now gone up to 49 sterling.
Could someone please tell me if its possible to get a cheaper reservation as I see on the route it says its a 9EUR reservation? Can I book this through railcc? Also is there anywhere I can reserve this and have the reservation sent to an Irish address/pick up at station?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Maybe the limited seats for Interrailers are sold out already - this is a common problem (and we get several complains daily) for Interrailers on all high-speed-trains provided by the French national railway company SNCF. By the way: the company you mention is a subsidiary of SNCF.
Reservations are as well available on railcc: [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/reservation[/ux]
And please let me know the order ID (PNR) of your Interrail pass beginning with AA - so I can set you premium. :)
Peter :)

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the explanation. I will be purchasing my pass in the next week or two so I can provide it then - is it ok to wait until then to make the reservation or may this go even further up in price?
What exactly do you mean about setting me premium?
Thank you.

We cant predict whether there still will be reservations available or at what price, sorry. Anyway, there are quite a few alternative ways to get to Zurich, albeit with slightly longer travel times:
Take a TGV to Strasbourg or Colmar, then travel with TER trains to Basel and change there to Zurich.
Take a TGV to Mulhouse (running at uneven hours at the same minute as the direct ones to Zurich), TER to Basel and change there to Zurich
Other alternatives without TGV: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-zurich[/u]
All travellers purchasing at railcc get upgraded to Premium status in order that we can see which users have bought at railcc and to give them extra assistance if needed. :)
