I have an #interrail question. interrail.eu/en/support/intere… states about "what is a travel day" and night trains:

* If you don't have a changeover after midnight then that only counts as one travel day instead of 2
* but somehow this does not work on the last day of the pass? ("Note: you cannot use your Eurail Pass to take a night train on your last travel day as the validity period will expire at 23:59.")

The second part is oddly confusing to me right now. Can someone confirm/explain that?

never mind, I don't get it either

I have no insight, but I think this definition of "travel day" only affects the Flexi Pass.

In order to use the trains, you must satisfy two conditions:

• Today is a travel day; and
• Your card is valid.

The boundaries of a travel day are defined by local midnight, but extend to encompass a train ride started near the end of a travel day. (This means you don't get 'charged' two travel days for one train ride.) This does not affect your card's validity.

Let's say you buy "7 days in a month", that month ends at 23:59 the last day.
E.g. July 13 --> August 12 23:59.

i.e. the #interrail pass is not valid anymore after that time. After 23:59 on August 12 it expires.

You have to be home before 23:59 (scheduled time) on the last day of validity period. Night trains are practically impossible on the last day of _validity_, regardless of how many _travel_days_ you have left.
