    Experiences of visiting Frankfurt

    Never had an issue in Frankfurt whatsoever! I've been there a few times; 3 times changing trains, once changing buses, and once being there for a long weekend. Taxi drivers in general are a very different kind of person from the general crowd, so any unpleasantness might be more down to him than...

    Mixture of single and double decker operated routes

    407 Sutton - Caterham in Tfl Land also is a mix. Years ago used to be only single Decker.

    Leuven And liege

    You sure you're talking about leuven? Or did you exit the station at the wrong side, or walk along the city ring road in a circle around the centre instead of going into the centre ? Liège is also walkable, although the route may not be the most scenic / interesting. If you're doing it as a...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    For that, you'd need to build a whole new High-Speed route as well, and make sure trains connect to this new station. This will even beyond impossible, I'm afraid.

    Wagon hits bridge in the Wigan area.

    A structural engineer / Network Rail operative will come round to assess the damage done by the truck to the bridge structure, and its strength. Depending on the damage, they'll need a closer look, or they open it for traffic immediately. It's luckily most cases that the main structure is...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    Based on the station layout PDF you posted 2 posts ago, there could be room on the Kievit side to organise this, however this would cause the following issues to be dealt with; No further construction can be made Northbound (left on the pdf) from the B-Parking, as then you're in the Zoo. The...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    Oops, I always travelled to North from Breda, and forgot to add the 8 minutes for North-South in my mind. But also, I just saw that the journey time has been significantly 'sobered' as well. I'm pretty sure that around 2009, the shortest journey time was about 6-8 minutes faster than it is now...?

    Fight at St Leonards Warrior Square

    Which "They"? Based upon this video, I can't really see what the guy who was being beaten up did wrong, apart from kicking him after they get dragged out from in-between the carriages. I'm not saying he's innocent, but I certainly can't tell what happened before this recording started. From this...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    Personally, I don't see the business case for Antwerp; I have my doubts about the patronage. Whereas Amsterdam and Rotterdam have also a large hinterland, Antwerp much less so. People from Ghent/Mechelen/Turnhout are much better off travelling via Brussels. Only people living in Breda would...

    York to Wakefield via Harrogate

    If you look here, you can see there are some tickets with routes via Leeds (Which doesn't include: "Not via Harrogate" as far as I can seE), and some Any Permitted: http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=YRK&dest=0444 I don't know what you asked from the ticket clerk, or which ticket machine you...

    East Grinstead question

    The thameslink is peak hours only, and at those hours they're definitely needed on this line! Basically all trains have standees by the time they reach East Croydon from the South from my (limited) experience whenever I'm over there.

    East Grinstead question

    When I'm staying in London, I stay at a friend's in Upper Warlingham, so I use both the East Grinstead lines and Caterham lines. Usage can vary greatly, and it's true that in the off-peak sometimes it can seem a bit busy. But generally, the 4TPH from Caterham and 2TPH from East Grinstead are...

    Scotrail Delay Repay - Rejected

    From what I read, I don't think people were saying you were making a fraudulent claim, as you claimed your journey via Edinburgh, as you did. Whether or not you'd be entitled to claim compensation via this route, as the minimum connection time according to the timetable wasn't met (that you...

    It Could Only Happen On The Settle & Carlisle Line. gave us B

    I remember about 6-7 years ago I was on a night train going from/to Munich to/from Italy or Zagreb where we had a jazz group 2 compartments down the train who started playing until like 1am. That was.... something.

    Frankfurt to Hanau day ticket and zonal validity

    I just noticed that my first two links don't actually give the exact result. If you fill in Frankfurt am Main and Hanau for "Ort" you get the more expensive ticket with larger validity. If you change the entry to Bahnhof/Haltestelle and Frankfurt am Main Hbf to Hanau Hbf you get the cheaper...

    Frankfurt to Hanau day ticket and zonal validity

    Yeah, the 22.70 seems to be for the Frankfurt Airport-excluding ticket. Whether or not you can buy the other option at a machine, I am afraid I can't answer that. If you had asked this 2 days earlier, I would have checked as I had 45 minutes in Frankfurt/Main Hbf on my return from Prague to...

    Frankfurt to Hanau day ticket and zonal validity

    What ticket did you have exactly? And how much did it cost? Was it a €13.60 regular return? Then it's only valid for one journey per direction. (IC/EC/ICE not permitted) Was it a €13.25 day ticket? Then it's valid for as many journeys to Hanau, as well as in the Frankfurt zones, EXCEPT the...
