I've booked with Rail Europe, pass fare Paris to Karlsruhe (9.56) with seat reservations and we'll get off at Strasbourg. £33.50 for two of us.
Inter rail website won’t let me book seat reservation (which is required) for ICE train Paris to Strasbourg But it will let me book the same train to stations into Germany. Is this because Strasbourg is within France? Is there any problem with booking a seat to the first station in Germany but...
Next Saturday I am travelling from Paddington to Torquay on an off peak return (already purchased). I intend to visit to Cardiff on the outward journey and to purchase a day or off peak return from Bristol Parkway to Cardiff (staying on the same train from Paddington). Will this allow me to...

That sounds reasonable.
This is the last day of the ALR and the only day I’ve encountered problems.
C2C gate line member of staff refused to let me through this morning saying rovers not valid before 9.30.

I have a First Class All Line Rover.
Today I travelled from Euston to Birmingham. There was no first class catering service. The reason given was that First Class was declassified due to LNER trains being cancelled.
There were only 24 passengers in First Class on leaving Euston and spare seats...
