@cycling_on_rails the safe option is the sensible option, definitely, but limiting it to two days has important effects. I’m pretty sure the four day Interrail ticket is heavily used by people who treat them as a return ticket for long distances. :) Certainly I have! This seems wrong but is an interesting wrinkle in the discussion of ticket costs. There is in fact a maximum fare for cross Europe travel by train for up to a certain distance, and it’s the distance you can go in two days (or four, one way). No wonder SNCF limits the numbers, never mind the reservation fee profiteering 😬
