Caledonian Craig Posted July 22 Posted July 22 1 minute ago, DoonTheSlope said: It wasn’t free train travel across Germany with a match ticket. Thats just not true. Good luck getting from Berlin to Cologne on an ICE train with your match brief. It was only free on the local transport network For the record that wasn’t even down to UEFA. That’s common practice in Germany if you hold a valid match brief. At the time there was a €45(?) monthly ticket you could use on all local transport across. However after a few days it became clear to see why it was so cheap The trains were less than satisfactory across Germany. I’d happily have paid a premium if the trains even turned up, went a full journey and just generally provided a better customer experience Well you had a different experience to me. And take it from me the Fox borough train was by no means a bed of roses with trains running without Aircon in temps into the 90s. And to argue free trains are worse than a $75 one just makes no sense whatsoever. Quote

If a $75 train turns up or even completes it’s fully intended route gets you to and from the match then obviously it’s better than a “free” alternative which wasn’t even remotely reliable The german trains/trams weren’t immune from the lack of air conditioning either Quote

You went, we get it. You chose not to go to the World Cup, your choice, we get it. Most who travelled had the best time, you weren't there, that's on you. Aye but when ah went the the euros the transport system......we get it. You missed a great time, move on. Quote

You missed Scotland at a world cup, but that's ok, you need to move on from that too, just like you said you had no regrets about not going, keep with that. I'll continue to read and post whatever I see fit, according to board rules, so if you don't like it then block or have a wee look inside yourself. Quote

Did you feel emasculated you when you realised I'd had 13 posts in 20 years, is that why you mentioned it and reacted so badly you had to make a different post about about it? I do look inside myself, not as often as I should though. You mention my farter, different strokes for different folks. Enjoy. Quote
Grim Jim Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Just to lighten the mood I'd like to gloat again that I did once get a free ICE train. Didn't realise back at the Dortmund game (a while ago), that the freebie didn't apply to those trains and just got on. Had a lovely, fast chilled-out wheecht back to Dusseldorf, and nobody stopped us. Still feel guilty 😇 Quote

Still feel guilty 😇 I never paid for one train I was on at the Euro’s and I never had match tickets, travelled on 3 ICE trains anaw. Not something I’d usually do but one of my party never pays on trains/trams and has always got away with it so I thought fuck it and done the same. The volume of people made it unlikely you’d get caught, haven’t done it since tho Quote
