Especially to trains expert.....
 

Hi especially trains expert and those who know German.<BR>Can l know the different RMV trains schedule running from Frankfurt Airport to Kassel on 1st April.The DB trains cost 26.80 Euro but l understand the RMV trains ticket may be cheaper.What's the RMV fare,duration,connections etc.on their website: www.rmv.de ?<BR>Thank you very much!<BR>

I didn't read to see if this helps you, but I did find an English page:<BR><BR>http://www.rmv.de/id=k6w4mnqld2/core.../inhalt=en.htm

Hi<BR> If you go back to their website, you will see at the bottom of the menu headed &quot;Fahrplanauskunft&quot; the word &quot;Abfragen&quot;.<BR> Just under that is the link to various languages, one of which is English.

Just to clear something up, RMV is the regional transport authority which operates in conjunction with DB for the &quot;local&quot; trains, i.e., the RE, RB, and S trains. Therefore, the schedule stuff is the same as for DB, but only with the RE/RB trains. (You can choose &quot;only local transport&quot; under &quot;Select Public Transport&quot; on the DB query page.)<BR><BR>Specifically, Kassel is outside the RMV district (based on their map), so you can't get an RMV ticket. In general, if DB won't give you a price for a national journey, it means it uses regional transport. You could get a ticket to the RMV limits (Neustadt) for EUR 11.30 and then a DB ticket to Kassel from there for EUR 9, and this would save about 6. (The DB fare on RE trains is EUR 26.40.) If there are more than one of you going, there is a HessenTicket (http://www.dashessenticket.de) which covers travel to Kassel on RE/RB/S-bahn trains for up to 5 people for EUR 25. (It's good after 9:00 Mon-Fri and all day weekends and holidays.)<BR><BR>Enjoy your trip.<BR>Paul<BR><BR>(an American in Marburg, roughly halfway between Frankfurt and Kassel)

Hi Sanschag,thanx for your input.<BR>1)You mentioned&quot;You could get a ticket to the RMV limits (Neustadt) for EUR 11.30 &quot;Is it true that u can only get a RMV ticket from the ticket machine at Frankfurt Airport,the DB staff at the counter only sells u DB ticket price??<BR>2)And &quot;and then a DB ticket to Kassel from there for EUR 9, and this would save about 6.&quot; So l need to buy another DB ticket at Neustadt.Is it at the same station??<BR>3)l read that the NVV ticket from Kassel to Hann-Munden cost Euro 4.30.Do u know the trains schedule,journey duration on 3rd April ?<BR>Thank you very much!<BR>Guten Tag!
