But in the summer hols-usually starting from midsummernight, for some 6-7 weeks, last yrs there was a much cheaper 8-day ALL transit (except the long ferries) pass, had to be bought online and there was only a limited nr for sale. I had one last year and it worked perfect. No details however yet...

Just read a long report in a printed magazine-in dutch, of the dutch ROVER= travel association of publ trsp users, on a long NOrway trip, incl this famous line-in main high season summer ´23 and the couple just bought the tix (discount for InterRail pass holders) from the tourist office in Flam...

You did not mention an exact date, but just read in other forum that the Hi-Speed Köln-FRA/Flugh=airport line is to be closed for maintenance for around 1 month from around 15/7. Which will of course severely limit available routings and extend travel times.

All 3 Baltic states still have sizeable Russky populations and hence also some quarters that still look quite Russky to westerners. If its your main aim to get a bit of feeling of that. Latvia probably-relatively-the most. Most in the areas beside the border with Russia. Suggestion: but check if...

NOTE! As the main portion of readers to this forum are the insular Brits-chosen to go Brexit a few yrs ago: FREE ONLY for EU-nationals! Except for the extra supplmt to pay for the IC-trains (and express buses) and the obligatory seat-REServ for these. Free train travel for those >62/63 in...

To be very precise: NL has on all modernised sectors what we call ´double single´ or bi-directional on both tracks. All the signalling is laid out for that. Though the majority remains right-hand in normal traffic. Another topic might be how they organise it on 4-track sectors, where there is...

For junior <26 and for FRance: there will be a (copy of DE-ticket- but not really that wide) 49€/monthly, for the summer monthes july+august (Juillet-aout) TER-only trains only, but NO RER/TransIlien and perhaps also more restrictions in some other regions. Also no local transit: bus, tram...

Note that they maintain a very strict and expensive difference between local=regional and hi-speed/´intercity´ or the like treni. This also applies to ticketing and what they allow-or not. Well possible that here its also that TreNord again that organises (part of) it. Hi-speed is mostly with...

Me too to start a new InterRail from Easter coming-2 month. But for DE=Germany I find the monthly DE-ticket for 49€ far better value-and no problems like this. Valid anywhere. Just came back on it this morning. As for where InterR is valid-well, Germany is about the only country where such tiny...

But there is hope! On last tue=strike day, I made connection at that same stop=Köln HBF in 3 mins and even into a train that I should not have been able to catch: OFF a SEV=replacement bus from Brühl-speedy running, arr 7 mins early vs planned time-at ZOB-BReslauer Platz (backside of station)_...

In case you´re a bit more open-minded-or perhaps have no staff privileges or the like; FLIXbus also runs from direct @ airport to DD and will not suffer from trackworks-but works on the Autobahn=motorway may also happen. Offers several trips in the eve. There is -on some days-in the eve also...

As this gets empty for so long: on the site etihadrail.ae this first trip with the high officials/minister etc is also highlighted. And then it says it is planned to link Abu Dhabi with a new to be constructed what seems like industrial estate (el Dhannah or so) and this line is meant for...

Denmark: summers (local school hols-6 weeks from weekend after midsommer) ´22 and ´23 had a Rejsepass-for 399 DKK (54€), for 8 days-no ju/senior discounts, valid in ALL transit-also metrotrambus, not boats/ferries, also 2 kids can be taken for free. Probably also for summer coming, perhaps at...

News from FRAnkfurt: DB has asked for a juridical order to cancel the strike-as announced too late etc. (This is as such not uncommon here in DE)-we have to wait what the judges will decide. Do not want to spoil too much, but about all posters in german here tell that even with more time to...

And a further note to passes/seasons in NL here (currently using the NS-WiFi): In actual practice it will be about impossible to get such a thing from far away. These are only available on a personal chipcard (OV-kaart)=with your foto+name on, and these thus have to be ordered (cost 7,50, free...

Toss a coin-same chances. Currently (again) on my way to AC, and esp. in this Rhein-Ruhr area about any train is likely to be delayed (so also that ICE), plus that local R/RE are far more likely to be cancelled at the very last moment-and even more late eve/nighttime. Staff shortages. Plus the...

NOte: In Praha on DPP-and in fact on all CZ (and SK/PL/HU etc) CITY transit all stops are compulsory-unless it clearly shows its on request. Dates from many moons ago. Praha is the 13th city in CZ to have trolleybuses.

HVV-can be paid as Ausländer=foreigner only via PayPal (as I understand) I currently have a DE-ticket for MArch via the ARRIVA glimble app-but select the DE-ticket one (there are also locals and ARV is quite big in UK): can be ordered only for 49€ for a full month and must be cancelled before...

In the mag Today"s railways there were such overveiws-in the start even as a separate special booklet, but last one was in 2018-as then Mr. Haydock, living in FR was still editor. I myself am now some yrs as senior so have a different viewpoint. BUT; BE-CZ-DK have SUMMER-season only special...

When they were newly delivered that were used for a kind of ´IC´ faster train offer on main routes out of BKK to major provincial centres-and as usual in THailand with any new stock with higher fares. But this withered away and around 2000 had mostly vanished. THat service mentioned passes by...
