@tml@mementomori.social Do you need to actually change the Railjets? Is it not possible to continue on the same train? Of course you need a ticket for ongoing journey or buy it at Brenner if the train stops there for long enough to buy the ticket during that time. Once I managed to do this on former Simplon Express in Ljubljana. Came with a ticket to Ljubljana, bought there a ticket for ongoing ride and boarded the same train again. @interrailinfosvenska@mastodonsweden.se @jon@gruene.social

@casar@mastodon.social @interrailinfosvenska@mastodonsweden.se @jon@gruene.social The point here is that you already have a ticket for the journey: your Interrail pass. But if you cross the border using that on a long distance train between Italy and Austria, in either direction, you need to pay a special supplement. If you leave or get on the train at Brennero/Brenner, the border station, you don’t need to pay the supplement. I have personally taken a Railjet from Munich to Brenner, and continued with an Italian regional train to Bolzano. No supplement was needed. No, I wonder whether it would have worked without a supplement also to continue on another Railjet, a few hours later, from Brenner. If you use normal tickets, you won’t pay any separate supplement. Or at least it is not itemised on your ticket.
