Love this!
Got stuck at Gare du Nord in Paris though. Despite being Europe’s busiest train station, no tickets going towards the South, only North. Seems suspicious!
What’s the ticket logic? Is it founded on reality? Or just totally faked?
- cornichon622 8mo agoHi, yes the Gare du Nord (ie North Train Station) mainly has trains going to the north. For the south, you'd have to go to the Gare de Lyon, Lyon being a city in southern France :)
- netsharc 8mo agoIn Moscow there's the Kazansky, Yaroslavsky and Leningradsky stations. They're next to each other but serve lines going to different cities.
- madcaptenor 8mo agoFrom Leningradsky station you can go to St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad); unsurprisingly, that train arrives at Moskovsky station.
- pattle 8mo agoI think that's correct. Gare du Nord only serves stations north of it. You want to go to one of the stations in the south
- seabass-labrax 8mo agoIndeed. It's an absolute pain in real life trying to go south to Gare Montparnasse when you've just arrived at Gare du Nord - your options are: to walk, which takes forever; to take a bus, which is still rather slow and awkward with luggage; or to take the Metro, which is only a bit faster and even more awkward with luggage - there aren't any lifts at the Montparnasse Metro station!
