Euro train

Post by opas »

My daughter has asked me to post this.

Does she have to buy a ticket to go on the Euro train or can she get on and pay on board?

If she means the Eurostar trains, you need to have a ticket before you can go through security and customs at the departure station.

Talk about timing...

I was just looking at this on the TER website.

You have to buy a ticket before you get on the train, otherwise it's a 35 euro fine. The only exception is if you get on the train where there isn't a ticket machine, in which case you can pay the conductor.

This is the page on their website:

There is a direct link to the PDF brochure:

I'm definately using it on our next trip.

BTW is the Aiport Navette still running? On the airport website, clicking on the Navette button takes you to the timetable for CPTM line 7 Cabestany to Peyrestortes.

Arrriving at 12:00 on a Sunday, it's going to be quick taxi ride to get to the Gare for the 12:44 to Prades, but at only 1 euro for the train - well worth it.

Looking forward to moving out full time this summer and not having to dance the Ryanair Jig.

I take it everyone has seen Fascination Aida's Cheap Flights video? If not, it's well worth a google.

Cheers,

Chris
