 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello I'm sure someone can with this...
Flight lands at 13:45 with a train leaving Salzburg HBF at 15:08. The No.2 bus leaves at 16 and 36 mins past the hour. So, the questions are as follows;
1) How likely is it that we can get on the 14:16 or 14:36 bus if the plane arrives at 13:45
2) Is it possible to book an open train ticket so if we miss the intended Regional Express train, we can instead use it on the next service which is a EC/IC?
Shall I tell my mate to stick the public transport and get the only very slightly more expensive Shuttlebus?
Thanks in advance

When are you travelling? Christmas/New Year and Half term, it will be a stretch but any other time you should easily get the 14:36 assuming no flight delays adn 14:16 if you are lucky. Personally 've never done it - I always get the shuttle. I like door to door service without the stress

Thanks, yes i should have mentioned, it's Sunday 19th Feb. I've checked the timetables for Sunday services and they all add up. Getting the 14:36 would get us to HBF at at 14:56 with a bit of a dash to get the 15:08 train.
I agree with you on the shuttle, especially as I'm carrying skis. Although we do like the adventure of public transport in other countries.
Edit: which is first Sunday of England half term

@Disaster, We always take bus and train but timings are variable. Sometimes bags off and bus are very quick, last time it was slow as a slow thing. Last time the bus journey took 35 minutes because the traffic was bad.
We always buy our tickets from the machines at the station. So just buy ticket and catch next train.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks I think we'll do that. If we don't get the first train then that gives us an hour to grab some food and a beer before the next train which sounds good to me. Thanks for the help guys!

If it is a group have you looked at a group day ticket? There is one for up to 5 people which works out very cheap. It covers any regional and local trains (not IC) for the day. No time restrictions on a Sunday so it would be valid on the next REX if you have a flightmare and miss the connections.

Another option is to find out if any Tour Opperators are heading to the end destination and pay them to use their bus. I did this a few years ago to get to Schladming.

Our half term ends on Sunday 19 February (London), so may be quieter than you think.
