VRR-branded machines do sell VRS-fares, at least those in stations where both fares apply, but you may find very different machines in trams and buses with limited ranges. Old-style ticketinspectors may be curious about the Leverkusen loophole but that has been around for decades at other...

Dusseldorf Hbf to Köln Hbf is 9,10 on eezy, 11,90 on paper or 10,71 via the (traditional) app, but Köln Godorf to Dusseldorf Airport would be 12,80 on eezy. The best option for a cheap day return would actually be a 24hr ticket from Leverkusen which is valid for unlimited journeys to both...

There are very few conductors on the suburban and commuter trains and often none at all, and we have no ticket barriers or platform checks either, so any option to buy on board would be an invitation to free rides. It used to be different on Intercity, but they introduced an additional fee some...

The cheapest weekly ticket is currently around €20 plus 6,80 per Einfachweiterticket, which may be cheaper than a single fare and has no offpeak- or route restictions except the ban on longdistance trains (IC/EC/ICE/Thalys). There are many other options including Intercitysavers, daytickets and...

Einfachweitertickets are valid with weekly and monthly seasontickets even for one zone but Kombitickets have to be valid for the entire network. Many exhibition and sportstickets do qualify as they are valid in the whole VRR, AVV, VRS or Westfalentarif, but some of the touristy travelcards are...

Mornington Crescent was closed "temporarily" for what should have been a paint job and lift maintenance. It was on the quiet end of Camden High Street and there were far less tourists, Camden Lock was much much smaller and most stalls were only trading on certain days. Initially one could see...

Some Eurostar tickets issued in Germany. The Britrail-Pass is an odd one, the travelagent had never booked one before and the computer would not accept the then standard stock but required an unknown "supplement ticket" form, only to cross out all the preprinted fields. The GNER tickets were...

You can return the normal Oystercard at any Underground ticket office and they will refund both the deposit and any unused pay-as-you-go balance. For a refund from a Visitor Oyster you have to apply by mail, only get a cheque in Pound Sterling and the initial fee is nonrefundable at all.

The new interior looks certainly smarter and cleaner than the current one, but it does not look as if they change that much apart from the seats and the wallpapers. There will still be the step underneath the windows which afaik contains heating and ventilation stuff and makes footspace a bit...

The V250 were excluded from the deal and are still owned by Finmeccanica and i doubt that Hitachi would try to reactivate those trains if they want to sell more trains in europe.

On local services there is a penalty, depending on the area, usually 40 Euros. On Intercity and ICE services you are entitled to buy a ticket on board, albeit with at 7,50 Euro surcharge, used to be 5 Euros untill recently. There will only be legal action if you do not pay at all or get caught...

One more detail about the "Sparpreis" Advance tickets: While you can only refund them up to the day before travel, you can still upgrade them to an Anytime ticket on the day of travel by paying a 17,50 fee plus the difference to the full fare. The fee is calculated per direction (in case of a...

They are well aware and the term “logo escargot“ is well known. Although the logo is still visible on most TGV, it has been replaced by a bland TGV in a sansserife typeface and is officially no longer in use.

oneway & return ticket the price for a return ticket is almost always the same as two single tickets, there is however a difference if you need a refund. Anytime tickets (Normalpreis, either with Bahncard-discount or not) can be refunded free of charge up to one day before the first day of...

I dont know if the Business Premier coach is always the same and if that one gets better maintenance than the Standard Premier ones, but both standard classes come with wornout moquette and some of the interior is really filthy, especially around the windows and the ventilation grills. The...

A picture on wallorail.be shows a complete blue powercar, but the rest of the train is still white. I wonder why they paint the formerly yellow area around the lamps grey on the 373 when it remains yellow on the velaro.

Thank you all, i will buy the standard pass and see if they sell me a weekend upgrade, and if they do not i will still have saved around £150.00 to buy me tea and biscuits at the station.

I am somewhat confused about the option to upgrade a standard Class BritRail pass, in particular weekend first on Virgin trains. A first class pass would not be value for money as we travel mostly on lines where first is not availible or on weekends and bankholidays, however a weekend first...
