The following link details dates and venues of games for Euro 2024. I've quoted the group games but the later knock-out ties are also available if you follow the link. I would agree the Ruhr is an area to avoid if you've no interest in the football though...

I reckon it would likely be at McDonalds instead of going right into the town (like the occasional Citylink services)

It's not too much of a stretch to claim not wearing shoes is a "person in improper condition" if you ask me

Not sure about now but I don't think they were all that happy when ECB launched the 106 a few years ago. A year prior to that was when First left East Lothian and whilst ECB took over the Dunbar and North Berwick services, they had no interest in running the 108 which provided a direct...

Yep. I remember thinking this when the scheme was first announced. It has potential to work well - but also potential to go catastrophically badly and result in nothing other than increased prices for many. The journey you quote is a good example where it will be useful to know which fares...

Hearts v Celtic at Tynecastle today was a 12.15pm kick off as well just to add to the chaos in the west of the city :)

There's good intentions behind a change like that however it wouldn't actually change anything. All that would happen is the computer lines are drawn at the feet instead of any other body part. And the marginal - but still correct by the letter of the law - offside calls that frustrate people...
