On the rails again… #Interrail #CrossBorderRail

Today, Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG and I are heading off on an 11-hour 1,600km slog through France on a couple of TGV Duplexes, going, via Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris Gare de l’Est, to Karlsruhe Hbf.

Today’s Itinerary: trainlog.me/public/trip/557680…

On the way out towards Girona we pass through the new platforms at the as-yet-unopened Barcelona La Sagrera station. And there we saw some Renfe Series 103 trains parked up, as the station is currently being used as a depot for High-Speed trains. These 103s will become relevant next Thursday and Friday during the second and third day of the #ICEAgeChallenge…

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.

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?

What is a travel day?

When it comes to Interrail Passes, a travel day is a 24-hour period in which you can travel on trains with your rail Pass. Find out more here.
