Eurorail reservation in Britain ?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows whether Eurorail reservations
can be made in London (Waterloo train station or Heathrow Airport).
We will fly to London first and I would like to get all the
reservations done as early as possible instead of waiting until
we travel to the Continent.
We are taking overnight train between Brussels-Vienna and also
Vienna-Venice. Also does anyone know if EuroNight train have
seats or are they all couchettes ?
Thanks very much.

can be made in London (Waterloo train station or Heathrow Airport).
We will fly to London first and I would like to get all the
reservations done as early as possible instead of waiting until

As we frequently note here, RailEurope is rather unsatisfactory
for the purchase of European rail tickets (and we must clearly
distinguish between tickets and reservations when it comes to
European trains).
Until the recent rise in the value of the euro wrt the dollar
RailEurope's fares were considerably overpriced. They still are
to some extent, but their clinging to the old dollar prices has
ameliorated that to some extent. This may not last long, adnwe ay
see them overpricing again; I haven't checked for a month or so.
But there are two other problems:
RailEurope does not sell for all the different trains available
between two cities, in fact, scarcely admits their existence and
has a tendency to try to quote for night trains even when faster
- and cheaper - daytrains exist.
RailEurope does not take account of all the discount4444444444444
fares available, such as youth, senior, couples traveling
together, et al. Using RailEurope you will pay for the max fare.
