Martin Breen (he/him)<p>When you get upset about paying €2…</p><p>Using our final Interrail Day of a 4 day pass today. It’s not the most efficient usage but I had held it in reserve in case our long journey from Sicily hit the buffers somewhere.</p><p>This TER Normandie train is compulsory seat reservation. I tried using Rail Europe but it couldn’t offer reservations for this specific train. So I reverted to Interrail and paid more for the booking fee than the actual seat €1.70 + €2 😡</p><p> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GoreyToSyracuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoreyToSyracuse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SlowTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlowTravel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a></p>
Martin Breen (he/him)<p>Return Day 3 - 08:29 Paris St Lazare - Caen 10:40</p><p>We’ve previously taken a direct train to Cherbourg from Paris but at this time of day a change in Caen is required.</p><p>No problems reading the QR code at the platform gates in St Lazare. The NFC chip didn’t seem to be triggered as it was in Gare De Lyon. Probably because the QR code reader was placed separately to the chip reader.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GoreyToSyracuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoreyToSyracuse</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SlowTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlowTravel</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interrail</span></a></p>
