How does reservation optional trains in the Europe work?
Upvote:3
Yes, for a reservation-optional train you can sit anywhere that
- is in the right class, and
- has not been reserved by someone else.
It varies from railway to railway how easy it is to tell whether a seat has been reserved, or for which part of the route of the train. Sometimes that are little paper reservation markers you can look for. Others have electronic reservation displays for each seat, which may be of varying helpfulness (for example, in Danish IC trains the displays appear to default to MIGHT BE RESERVED for all seats that are not definitely reserved, but at least one can avoid the ones that do show a reservation).
In general the worst that can happen is that someone who has a reservation for the seat you've chosen shows up, at which point you'll have to give it up (and might have to stand if all the other seats are taken by then).
