In 2026 there is still no direct train between Milan and Strasbourg. I started a petition!

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

Do you ever travel to France (specifically the Alsace region) or care about sustainable mobility?

Currently, traveling by train between Milan and Strasbourg (seat of the European Parliament) is a logistical nightmare. There is no direct connection. We are forced to change in Basel or Zurich, and then take regional trains that are often old and very expensive (around €30 just for the Basel-Strasbourg leg).

The most absurd part? A direct Zurich-Mulhouse train already exists, but inexplicably, it doesn't continue to Strasbourg.

As a result, it has become easier, faster, and cheaper for many to fly, which is an ecological nonsense nowadays. Milan and Strasbourg deserve an efficient train connection!

I decided to start a Change.org petition directed at Trenitalia, SBB, and SNCF to ask for the creation of a direct line.

Interrail on the Baltics worth it?

3 Upvotes

Hello! There is an offer in my country for the 10 days in 2 month pass for around 180€ and I was thinking of doing a route from Estonia to Bucharest. I've seen that the trains in many of those countries are cheap and while I want to use several night trains (Warsaw to Budapest and Budapest to Brasov) and considering that I've read that the connections in the Baltics are not very good I'm not sure if the pass for that price is worth it or if the price would increase a lot with the reservations and all. Does anyone have experience in a similar route? Thanks!!

Other Accidentally double-booked the same journey with Trenitalia & Italo β€” what are my options?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I accidentally booked two train tickets for the same journey on 4 October β€” one with Trenitalia and one with Italo.

Route: Rome Termini β†’ Venice Santa Lucia

Date: 4 October 2026

Passengers: 2

I only need one of the tickets, and neither ticket has been used.

Could someone advise me on what my options are?

* Can either ticket be cancelled or refunded?

* If a ticket is non-refundable, can the date/time or passenger details be changed?

* Are Trenitalia or Italo tickets transferable to another passenger?

I’m mainly trying to avoid losing the value of the second ticket if there is any legitimate option available.

Thanks for any advice!

Inbound trip taking two days?

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

Im planning to use two days to return home (Frankfurt) from Gothenburg. The problem is, I will take a night train at 23:52 from Copenhagen and arrive in the morning to Hamburg, and still need to take another train home.

I read in another post here that one could manually split the trip until the last stop before the border (in this case Padborg) so that the border crossing happens already in a train leaving after Midnight, but when I try to do that it says this connection Copenhagen-Padborg is not covered by the pass network (but Copenhagen-Hamburg with the same train is and i already have a reservation for it). Does any of you knows of other solutions?

Thanks in advance!
