Hi there,

Yes, the starting date we ask for when you enter your passenger details is only an indication for us so we can make sure people who are leaving soon get their tickets on time. We don't mark this starting date on your ticket.

You are free to activate your rail pass any time up to 3 months from the date of purchase, so you will be fine to activate it on the 1st of June up to the 14th of June.

Hope this puts your mind at ease!
