  A german conductor, on a belgian train??
by tompt
 
 

Belgium is a small country and it is easy to travel by train from one end to the other. The upside on this is that everybody can have one or more of that great belgium beers.

We travelled by train from Antwerp to Gent, Brugge and Brussel. Every time with a group of VT members. And it was always fun !

We travelled during the weekend and tried to buy a group ticket on saturday. Well said the man behind the counter, that is impossible. you have to order them upfront......
OK what is the cheapest option? To take a weekend ticket.
The next sunday we tried to buy a weekend ticket at the same counter with the same man. He now advised us to take the groupticket??!!
This is Belgium, i gues.....

Other train stories include the: OOPS, this train seems to be stopping at AntwerpSouth announcement.
And ofcourse the conductors. The one that couldn't believe his eyes when we showed him a weekend ticket on monday. He must have be wondering... if we sell weekend tickets on this day (which was a day before an official holiday), why am i not payed for weekendwork?
The other is including the conductors hat, but you have to ask Ralph how he got it....

And if you want to know what the guy next to Ralph is doing, ask Dannie, or look at our travelogue trains and people.
