Simão Mata As for Germany AFAIK you don't need supplements for travelling EC,IC,IR trains as those supplements are abolished. You do need a supplement for travelling ICE,InterCityExpress trains. As for the NZ and CNL night trains you need a reservation for sleeper,couchette but also ordinary seat accommodation. You're granted a discount on the THALYS trains running from Cologne. Be aware of the many new established private railways replacing DB-services and not honoring Interrail. You don't need supplement for Austria,Switzerland nor Denmark except the EC trains Copenhagen-Hamburg. Be aware again of the ,especially in Switzerland,many private railways. Arriva in Denmark accepts Interrail ,so do MOB,BLS,RhB,SOB in Switzerland and GySEV in Austria,Hungary. In zone I think you need supplements for ECtrains. |

Do you know where I can get the prices of the supplements for those trains? Again, thanks for your help. |

"Sim?o Mata" schrieb im Newsbeitrag om... Hi, I'm travelling this year with an InterRail pass to zones C and D. I would like to see an updated list of all supllements for these countrys, especially germany. Covered are all local trains of DB (S-Bahn, RB, RE, IRE) plus IR, IC, EC and D trains. Also nearly all local trains operated by private companies, e.g. http://www.vogtlandbahn.de http://www.nordostseebahn.de http://www.alexpress.de/ and a few dozens more. You have to pay supplements if you want to use ICE trains or night trains For the CityNightLine trains you can find them on their homepage, e.g. for a seat http://www.citynightline.ch/preise/ruhe.cfm under Aufpreis (supplement) - bottom of the page. Other night trains are cheaper than the CityNightLine trains. The supplement for an ICE train is the price difference between a IC train and the ICE train on the same route. Thus you can estimated the supplement when comparing IC and ICE prices at the DB timetable. However sometimes these trains fellow not exactly the same route. Supplements are 2 - 25 Euro depending on the route. Best is to plan with the DB timetable http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/english.html and select "without ICE" instead of "all products". If you miss an IC train don't want to wait 1 or 2 hours for the next, you could still jump on the next ICE train and pay the supplement to the conductor. If it's not just for the price, you can also ask there for the connection to any tram or bus stop. Or under "advanced" just give the address. This timetable covers virtually all public transport in Germany, but you'll get prices only as long as the DB tarriff applies. Not covered are http://www.interconnex.com/ InterConnex Gera/Zittau - Berlin - Rostock/Binz http://www.met.de/ Metropolitan Cologne - Hamburg Not covered are also most museums or touristic railways e.g. http://www.harzbahn.de/ (Harzbahn) http://www.zugspitze.de/zugspitze/index_en.php (Zugspitzbahn) If in doubt with private railways: ask (if you are going to use one of them at all - which is normally not too likely) I don't seem to find an updated list, I heard that supplements changed this year! Indeed. Until last year approx. supplements where given on the brouchure about InterRail of DB http://www.bahn.de/pv/view/mdb/image...e_april_04.pdf but even they gave it up now. Only what is free and what discounts are available elsewhere is now listed. Thanks for your help. Simão Mata |

Any idea where a definitive list of what private German operators accept Inter Rail (& other rail pass products like Euro Domino) plus FIP? -- Phil Richards London, UK Home page: http://www.philrichards1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

One ,EVB ,answered as "Thanks for your mail Sorry,but the questioned passes are unfortunately not valid on EVB trains as we do not get any money for those passes by Deutsche Bahn AG. Anyway,we would be pleased to welcome you on our trains. Best regards xxxx" As you I would really like to see an official confirmed list of those operators honoring rail passes in Germany. |

I would be nice to know where my Interrail pass is valid, for future trips to Germany. Indeed. I always found it amazing that you can buy a pass without anyone telling you where it's valid. :-/ In my (limited) observation, I think that most "new" transport companies, who took over the transport from DB Regio after a bidding process, often accept InterRail (and DB tariffs); while "old" private railways often do not. But I'm not sure wether this observation true fro all Germany. Regards, David |

I always found it amazing that you can buy a pass without anyone telling you where it's valid. :-/ I think that this is the difference between theory and practice. In theory there is a list (I was given one once) available to purchasors of the card. In practice the ticket sellers don't a have a supply of this list to give to purchasors. In my (limited) observation, I think that most "new" transport companies, who took over the transport from DB Regio after a bidding process, often accept InterRail (and DB tariffs); while "old" private railways often do not. But I'm not sure wether this observation true fro all Germany. This was my observation to. It seems to match the railways that accept Lander and Happy weekend tickets. It could be that this is an obligation of taking over those contracts. Not working this way would would lead to anomalies where the 'privatised' companies share tracks and routes with DB. tim Regards, David |
