Munich Train Ticket Question??

I noticed that there is a train leaving to F��SSEN from Munich hbf at 8:52 AM on a Friday. I read that the Bayern Ticket starts at 9:00 AM on weekdays. Do they allow this 8 minute difference or is the 9:00 AM start strictly enforced. Most train rides I%26#39;ve taken in Europe they don%26#39;t get around to checking tickets for a stop or two.

Thanks,

Lummy

%26gt; Do they allow this 8 minute difference

No. Not even 1 minute.

Munich Hbf dep 08:52

Munich Pasing dep 08:59 (that%26#39;s bad luck or by purpose)

Geltendorf dep 09:22

Correct way would be to buy single tickets to Geltendorf and use the Bavaria Ticket from there on.

Between Pasing and Geltendorf the conductor will be able to check quite a portion of the passengers on the train. Thus not without risk.

Thanks for the information. We will have to plan around the 9:00 AM start time.

You can reserve tickets online for the castles.

This eliminates the risk that the next x tours are all already sold out when your arrive in Hohenschwangau. Please note that you have to collect the ordered tickets at least 1 hour before the tour starts.

I really would recommend to take the SBahn to Geltendorf such early that you get the train to F��ssen from there, then you don%26#39;t have the problem with the 9 o%26#39;clock ticket.
