Hannover Airport to Wernigerode

[WestRiding]

In December we will fly to Hannover and then need to get the train to Wernigerode probably via Goslar? I was wondering if there is any sort of Group Ticket that could cover the journey for upto 4 people, or is this not possible? Something along the lines of the Bayern ticket, though obviously not the Bayern one. Thanks.

Niedersachsen Ticket for 4 persons is 35 euro; 2 surcharge if not bought at the machine. Problem is that Wenigerode is not Niedersachsen. Than it becomes a SWT for 52 euro on Saturday or Sunday. Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket is Monday to Friday after 9 hours and is 68 euro. A single ticket is 30 euro for 1 person from Hannover Flughafen to Wernigerode.

I probably use the Niedersachsen ticket to Goslar, then singles for the next leg.

From Vienenburg, the last station in Niedersachsen, it's EUR6.20 each according to DB. So it's SWT at weekends but split tickets in the week.

Thanks. We actually get there on Thursday so the Quer-durchs-Land ticket would do it giving quite a reduction. Can this be bought in advance on line?

I had worried that no group ticket was possible due to the end location being in a different region. Thanks for your help so far.

Ah, I remember Vienenburg is the border station, so I got a ticket at an earlier DB machine.
Tickets are available from the DB site.
Note only the German version shows the extent of the regional tickets.

Can the Quer-durchs-Land ticket be used in that area on the trains not directly operated by DB, for example HEX?

Generally the subcontracted regional operators are in the DB fare system. HKX is too, if you mean that.

I expect he does mean HEX who operate in the Harz region. The QDL ticket is valid including the Berlin express.

HKX are an open-access type operation between Koln and Hamburg. From 1.9.2016 HKX will not accept DB tickets on their four round trips per week.

thanks for that gents. Yes I did mean HEX just to confirm, I only noticed them last time I was at Quedlinburg

Probably similar to the South Yorkshire Day Ranger that's valid on all operators except Grand Central and Hull Trains.

Also the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen system has its own fare structure, but you probably know that anyway.

Interesting, as it wasn't long ago they joined!
