New borders:
None

Borders already crossed:
Saarbrücken 🇩🇪 - Forbach 🇫🇷
Niedaltdorf 🇩🇪 - Bouzonville 🇫🇷

Once a year – on Good Friday – there are special passenger trains on the otherwise freight only Dillingen – Niedatdorf – Bouzonville line, and I am determined, finally, I am going to take one!

I usuallu use My Journey, where on the bottom you can add Next Leg. Then just activate it with the qr-button. Never used a save-button on that spot in your screenshot.

Given that it’s an important security update I wouldn’t put it off.
The button is there and works if you know where to look for it.
Better to inform the app creators of the issue, IMO.

What purpose does it have? Why overcomplicate the UI? I don't get it.

Via… 🇩🇪

Obviously

Map 1: my route (in Green)
Map 2: the active railway line Béning - Bouzonville - Thionville (in Red) It’s double track electrified. But France runs no passenger trains on it 🤷‍♂️

But I think it was the update to iOS 26.4 that was the core problem.

It does work - you just need to tap where I circled 😀

The Interrail app wouldn’t allow me to add a journey 🤯

No journey means no QR code to show to train managers…

Turns out: an iOS update broke it! You can’t SEE the Save button
