What do I need to bear in mind regarding ticket inspections on trains operated by other carriers?

Please have your ticket ready for inspection together with a photographic ID (we recommend an identity card or passport). Most carriers also accept your ticket in electronic form on a mobile device. Nevertheless, we still recommend printing out the ticket in case you have problems with your device.

Information:

If booking an ÖBB ticket: In Austria, your ticket is also recognised in digital form. For journeys outside Austria and cross-border journeys, please print your ticket on white A4 paper in portrait format.

If booking a Trenitalia ticket: For ticket inspections on long-distance trains (Frecciarossa/Frecciagento/Frecciabianca/InterCity), simply provide the six-digit Trenitalia booking code (PNR) from the booking confirmation. For inspections on local and regional trains, please refer to the check-in information in the Trenitalia booking confirmation.

If booking a Eurostar ticket to/from London: After purchasing your ticket, you will receive a booking confirmation for your Eurostar connection with a link to where you can enter additional legally required information. The booking confirmation does not constitute a valid ticket. After entering the requested information, you will receive your ticket from Eurostar.
