Hi, is there any penalty if we missed our reserved train for jr pass holder or green jr pass holder, or we will still be able to just book another train as usual without any consequences.
Thanks

Hi there,
There will be no financial penalty, and you can take the next train for free.
However, you will no longer be able to reserve a seat for that train and will have to use a non-reserved seat. This does mean you lose Green Class for this trip as there are no non-reserved seats in Green Class.
You can change your seats free ahead of time at any manned ticket widow, so I suggest doing that where possible.
Kind regards,
Daniel
