Hello TT-ers.

Need your help here. I am finally booking some train connex for Europe trip end May to mid June, and have a choice to make on leg one, which is Amsterdam to Regensburg.

I can go overnight for 69E in a 6 berth couchette, or I can book Amsterdam to Augsburg separately for 39E in a seat; take a short break and travel on same day. Questions are:

Is travelling in a seat any worse than flying? Like chances of sleeping about the same (so so)?.
Is is worth stopping in Augsburg for just long enough to walk around for a few hours?

If I break the journey it will eat into my time in Regensburg which will drop from 2 full days to 1.5 days.
I'll save 11E by breaking the journey (assuming I buy a Lander ticket for the onward leg (39 + 19 = 58). Now if the Lander ticket covers hopping on any bus I fancy to get from the station in Augsburg to the centre and back, and the Station in Regensburg to the centre, it makes it that much more attractive.

I think I know really that I should just do the straight thru sleeper, but would be grateful for factual input re exactly what a Bayern Lander ticket covers, and for opinions on the pros and cons of each option

Thx loads.

Augsburg
Definitely worth a stopover.

Bayern Ticket covers nearly all local public transport in Bayern (Bavaria). Regional trains (e.g. S-Bahn, RB, RE, IRE, ALX, BOB, ...) and buses (e.g. in Augsburg and Regensburg). In Munich also the U-Bahn (metro) and trams.

Keep in mind the restrictions of the Bayern Ticket.
1. Validity
Mo-Fr from 9am till 3am next day
Sa,So from midnight till 3am next day
Night train arrives at 06:34. Thus conflicts with the past 9am only rule on weekdays.
The city centre is however in walking distance map. First I would anyway visit a luggage locker and second a bakery for a decent breakfast.

  1. no far distance trains (like IC/EC or ICE)
    DB timetable
    From: A
    To: R
    and select as means of transport "only local transport". Than you'll get only connections you can use with the Bayern Ticket.

there is a bakery with good coffee (99 ct) too in the HBF. it also is in Munchen=same price, to shorten hours you could also change there.
NOG veel goedkoper is the 9 eur eurolines bus naar Nurnberg, dan trein, maar dan moet je 3 mnd tevoren boeken (daarna duurder)

All useful. Current TT model for threads - got to mark them as this or that - incredibly frustrating. I don't know who came up with the model, but whoever it was is a control freak.

Does every subject in the universe have to be amenable to the multiple choice, tick box mentality? Life isn't like that.

Give us back a human TT please.

Folks, thx for all your help. I just attempted to close this thread and my rant at TT has come up as post #4.

What is all this control-freakery? marking posts as helpful or not? All interaction is helpful and illuminating. Why does TT now have to have everything quantified?

Is it perhaps connected to the fact that you can pass exams these days by ticking boxes.

Are we obsessed with box-ticking?

Looks like in order to close this I have to go back and "mark" every contribution.

TOTAL MADNESS. And so sad.
