Hello! I would like to inform everybody that the CNL
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/amsterdam-copenhagen-cnl40457/10[/u]
has changed the departure time due to works on the railways. It now leaves from Amsterdam Centraal at 17.41...
This means that the 19.00 rule is not valid, am I right? Do you think there's something I can do to avoid this problem? I mean, if the usual departure time allowed me to travel with the CNL, why do I have to give up this opportunity just becouse there are some works? :((

I hope someone can give me some advice! Thanks! :D

Hi!

Thanks for the hint - we know about the construction works but dont have the time to adapt all schedules affected by temporary works, sorry.
A similar problem occurs currently with the Paris - Berlin CNL, we contacted both CNL and Eurail Group but they both were not able to give a satisfying answer: CNL said that Eurail Group were responsible for exceptions to the 1900-rule, and Eurail Group just gave us a general answer about the rule without focusing on the actual issue. :|

it is ONLY for a very few days- i also suffer, as the tracks they renew yesterday+today are right between Amsterdam C and my home. I have used CNL some 4-5 times last year and never ever did someone come around to check tickets before wel well beyond Dusseldorf in Germany.

Thank you very much for your advice! I am asking to the Interrail staff about the exceptions and they said they'll give me an answer soon! :D
By the way, I can't manage to book my seat in that train... Do I have to put as departure stop a german city? If I leave from Koln I can find the button Buy only extra charge, but not if I enter Amsterdam... The price is the same, are we sure that I won't have problems getting on the train before Koln?

Thank you again. :D

Thank you!

The Interrail staff on their Facebook page told me that I can travel using only one day on my pass! Yuppi! :D
