France and UK when traveling by train.
- manarth 10y agoAnd ferry.
- happosai 10y agoFinland to Russia on train, the Russian Border security checks you while the train is still in Finland, speeding 200km/h towards Russia. And vice versa when going in the other direction. Saves a lot of time and hassle.
- jerven 10y agoAlso from Switzerland to France, if departing from Geneva. As well as Geneva airport having a dedicated section for flying to france.
- zhte415 10y agoThat's awesome. Did the crossing a couple of decades ago and that was also the case, though not when 'speeding' but when changing engine at the border, and then it didn't go 200km/h at any point, and that's probably a good thing as there were man-sized gaps between left and right of the iron floating bridge connectors between carriages, but same principle.
- barrkel 10y agoEvery long distance international train ride I've done has involved handing the conductor your passport if on a sleeper (typically overnight crossing), or someone coming round to check if it's not a sleeper.
- thesmok 10y agoThe same practice was recently implemented for a train from Ukraine to Poland.
- mino 10y agoSame when travelling by ferry across the Channel.
