Lander-Tickets

[Pete81E]

Hi, (please excuse the missing umlaut not sure how to get one!)

I am trying to track down validity maps for these tickets, in particular the Bremen / Niedersachsen ticket. I have read that it covers Hamburg but would like to be exactly sure what/where the limits are.

Failing definitive maps, if there is a text version that details the boundary stations on the borders (preferably in English!) that would be a big help.

Thanks in advance.

says

"Gültig einen Tag lang in Niedersachsen und Bremen in allen Nahverkehrszügen der DB und der teilnehmenden Eisenbahnen, in vielen Verkehrsverbünden, sowie im Großbereich Hamburg (Ringe A+B des HVV)"

"Gilt in allen Nahverkehrszügen aller Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen und allen Verbundverkehrsmitteln (S-, U-, Straßenbahn, Bussen). Gilt in allen Linienbussen innerhalb der Verkehrsverbünde in Niedersachsen, Bremen und Hamburg (nur Großbereich Hamburg). Einzelheiten zum Geltungsbereich entnehmen Sie bitte dem untenstehenden PDF."

So you can use it on all local transport and regional trains in the two states of Bremen and Lower Saxony, plus zones A and B in the HVV region of Hamburg.

has rail maps of each state.

This leaflet has a validity map

suggesting you can use it on certain lines which cross the boundary. You can use white and red lines (the white ones are services not run by DB).

says you can go to Hengelo in the Netherlands with it, but only on the Grensland Express.

has a list of all the operators, out-of-area routes, and the PTA areas (VV) in which you can use trams and buses as well. It hasn't picked up the Grensland Express - that's very useful, eg if you are heading from Hoek van Holland!

Thank you both very much, that's extremely helpful.
