Can you translate my ticket? I can’t understand it!
Many train tickets are issued in the language of the national rail operator. For instance, all SNCF tickets are issued in French and Deutsche Bahn tickets in German. So it can be quite tricky understanding them. Unfortunately there are no English versions available. For this reason we have created a guide to all different ticket types which should help you understand them better.
Where is my booking reference?
Your booking reference can be found in several different places. You will find the 6-letter reference in our confirmation email or in the ‘Tickets’ section of your Trainline Europe account (for account holders only). You can also have a look at the ticket examples below, to see what the booking reference should look like.

- Deutsche Bahn international journey ticket
