What were people expecting it to be?! Also bear in mind it’s generally stronger than your usual beer. Lowenbrau (which I think that logo on the menu is!) is something like 5.2%. Ive been to Oktoberfest a few times where it’s cranked up to something like 5.8-6%. Basically you buy a litre for about €12 and it’s like drinking three pints of Tennents. Fucking brilliant. Best beer in the world. Enjoy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG.Roma Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Forgive if already been covered, but does anyone know if the fan pass 36 hour free travel is completely unlimited on locals trains? I have tickets for Turkey v Georgia, which is a 6pm kickoff with no afternoon games that day. I'm staying in Düsseldorf. Hypothetically, if I want to go to Cologne in the morning and then back to Düsseldorf for lunch before heading to Dortmund, an I covered for the whole lot as it's all within the VRS/VRR area and within the time frame? The reason I ask is because I've been to ice hockey games in Germany before where your ticket covers you for free travel, but only to and from the game, not for random trips earlier or later in day.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 As an aside, are the issues with the trains all linked to the Bavarian flooding of late? I'm not flying out till Sunday and have trains booked from Frankfurt airport to Dusseldorf, and those trains appear to be running, if not delayed, from a cursory glance on the DB website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's decades of underfunding because the federal government are in the pockets of Germany's big car manufacturers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s helpful I was on the train from Belgium to Frankfurt which had a connection to Munich and it was delayed but not because of the flooding and it’s not mentioned on the train nor at the station so hopefully it’s all okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 18 hours ago, German Jag said: Bus 234 or X34 to ‚Bahnhof Rastatt. A walk to Rastatt, local train to Karlsruhe, then onwards to Stuttgart. Basically the same in reverse for the return journey. No rebate on the Saturday for having a ticket, will be free on the way back on any local trains or buses. If traveling with an IC or ICE train then will need a ticket. Get yourself the DB Navigator app. Thank you. Got it and seen same journey on there (that's a handy thing! ). It involves more changes than I'd hoped. Do we just book tickets for the whole journey through that then? And is it something we should do in advance or when we get there, given the number of potential routes and times and the fact we don't know for certain when we'll clear passport control at the airport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 If anyone's staying in Garching it's very easy getting here from the airport, S8 train to Ismaning, and 230 bus from station just outside, took less than half an hour I think. I paid €9.70 for a 5 zone ticket, but there might be a cheaper way of doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to that airport. A quick look at their web-site and it says there is a ticket machine at the bus stop. Get your ticket, for the bus leg at least. For the train part, probably need to get them at Rastatt Bahnhof including the onward part to Karlsruhe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding too, it seems like it'd be fine to use it as often as you want within the district and timeframe, even if you're going in the wrong direction. As I said though, it contradicts the way the free travel usually works, but in our favour thankfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) What's the deal with missing a connection? I booked Cologne to Stuttgart and there's a change at Frankfurt airport which is only 7 minutes. If the first train is running late, am I able to just jump on the next train? It was booked through DB as one ticket, so was their suggested connection.

Lyle Lanley Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Currently on the train to Augsburg which is absolutely packed. Anyone who is standing is being told to get off the train at Ulm before we can continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the interrail pass, probably but I didn't want to use up a day on a short journey. What time do you get in? Had a fabulous lunch at Augustiner, they also do beer.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
