All you need to do is print your actual ticket at the station using a self-service kiosk prior to boarding the train. You can do this on the day of your travel, or anytime prior, but you can only do this at a train station.

The actual steps to print your e-ticket vary slightly from one country to another, but the general approach is the same: proceed to the self-service kiosk, enter your e-ticket number (also known as PNR) which is a letter code (or in the UK, a letter and number combination code) that is unique to your trip, and follow the simple on-screen instructions.

Please note we will send the Rail Europe train itinerary details to passengers via email.

Your e-ticket number is a string of 6 letters (or an 8-letter and number combination for British e-tickets) that will be emailed to you along with your Rail Europe train itinerary details.

Proceed to the self-service kiosk. Enter your e-ticket number (PNR), which is a 6 digit letter combination unique to your trip.

E-tickets can be retrieved up to 45 minutes before departure from the self-service kiosk at the following Eurostar stations: St Pancras, Ebbsfleet, Ashford, Paris Nord, Calais Frethun and Brussels Midi. E-ticketing from the Marne La Valee and Lille Europe stations can be done from the French kiosks at these stations.

Arrive at the station at least 20 minutes prior to your departure time to print your ticket(s) and board your train. Proceed to the self-service kiosk. Insert any card with a magnetic strip, allow kiosk to 'wake-up' and then remove the card. (Note: this simply activates the kiosk. You do not need to use a credit card).

Enter your e-ticket number or PNR, which is an 8 digit number and letter combination unique to your trip, and is included in the email you receive. Then follow the simple instructions.

Please note: there may be multiple e-ticket numbers for your itinerary. If you have a roundtrip ticket, issue both the outbound and return trip at the same time.

British print at station e-ticket numbers may be referred to as 'FastTicket' numbers at the self-service kiosks. Most British train stations have self-service kiosks; please view the complete list of stations that offer these 'FastTicket' kiosks. If your departure station is not listed, visit an alternate station to print your ticket before your travel date.

First, make sure you're entering the correct information in the self-service kiosk. You need to provide your e-ticket number, also known as PNR, which is a 6 letter code (or an 8-letter and number combination code for British e-tickets) that was emailed to you. Any other form of order reference (like the TripMasters booking number) will not work to retrieve your print at the station e-ticket.

Don't attempt to retrieve your ticket using a different method of identification such as swiping a credit card. This will not work.

Although highly unusual, if you're still unable to retrieve your ticket, go to the ticket counter and seek the assistance of a railway official. Make sure you know your e-ticket number.

If you're still unable to retrieve your ticket, you may have to purchase a new train ticket. If possible, document the circumstances that prevented you from retrieving your e-ticket. If you purchase new tickets, make sure to keep a copy of the new tickets and the receipt.

Upon your return to North America, contact our customer relations department and write us a letter indicating what happened. Make sure to provide the new tickets you purchased and the receipt. We'll review the matter and work things out with you.

No. Print at the station e-tickets may only be printed once from the kiosk. In the event of a lost ticket, go to a ticket counter and ask if they can reprint it. If they are unable to, a new train ticket will have to be purchased.
