The Anonymous Widower

An Excursion To Augsburg

I wanted to see the new Tram Safety Lights In Augsburg, so I took a local train to the city.

A few observations.

• I wanted to travel out to one Augsburg station and possibly back from the other. But you can’t buy a general ticket to any stations in a city, like you can in the UK.
• The train I got to Augsburg was so crowded, I sat on the floor.
• Coming back, I had to buy another ticket and as there was only on of Deutsche Bahn’s verbose and slow ticket machines, several people missed the next train.
• The Germans also run freight trains through Metro station. But at least the locomotive ewas electric.

Don’t you just think that the station called Kissing and the train called the Fugger Express are made for each other?
