Title: Member's travel record Post by: grahame on December 24, 2019, 15:41:58 (http://www.wellho.net/pix/intercountries.jpg) Interrail global pass promotion - flags from {{here}} (https://www.myinterrail.co.uk/interrail-pass-sale/global-pass-promotion/) How many of these counties have members VISITED? How many have they TRAVELLED BY TRAIN in? Quick add up - I think I have visited 20 and travelled by train in 12 ... wonder whether those numbers will increase in the next 12 months ...

Does an urban underground/metro count as rail travel? My scores for the train element would be considerably more if they did! Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Surrey 455 on December 24, 2019, 16:23:40 Of those shown, 12 visited.
I have travelled by train from the UK to just one of those countries - Belgium. The others were by plane. France also by ferry / coach. Does an urban underground/metro count as rail travel? My scores for the train element would be considerably more if they did! Some of those countries, I know I have used mainline trains in at least 5 - Germany, Spain, Belgium, Portugal & UK. Some I have used underground & tram but can't recall mainline train travel. I can rule out train travel in at least 2 of those countries - Turkey & Greece.

Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Oxonhutch on December 24, 2019, 16:31:42 13 countries, 6 of those with trains (+/- trams) and another 1 with trams only.

My scores for the train element would be considerably more if they did! This is lighter side ... so it's really up to you. But I would say it's rail travel and underground has rails ... even the Wuppertal thingy has rails as has the shuttle between terminals / satellite at Gatport. Guided busway in Bristol I would hesitate ... rollercoasters may count .... Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Bob_Blakey on December 24, 2019, 17:26:45 12 of those countries visited, train travel in 11.
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: bobm on December 24, 2019, 17:34:13 Only three countries and in this they only count as one - England, Scotland and Wales.
However 21,800 miles this year and enjoyed almost all of it. Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: JontyMort on December 24, 2019, 17:53:43 19 visited, 12 travelled by train.
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: johoare on December 24, 2019, 17:57:28 10 for me - all including train travel - but one was Yugoslavia (as was) so probably should be more really
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: hstch on December 24, 2019, 18:03:25 11 for me and 8 with train travel All very groovy
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: eightonedee on December 24, 2019, 18:10:08 OK then for me it's 17, 9 on the train (of which 3 are underground/metros) plus one also if you also include trams!
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: ellendune on December 24, 2019, 18:45:36 14 and 9
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Celestial on December 24, 2019, 18:46:05 18 for me, and 12 travelled on train (excluding metros).
Being picky, if Great Britain is shown then there should also be an entry for Northern Ireland, which would make 19 but still 12. Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: ray951 on December 24, 2019, 19:18:30 17 countries travelled by train for me.
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Reginald25 on December 24, 2019, 19:23:00 A low 10, with (sadly) only 3 with train travel.
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: stuving on December 24, 2019, 20:04:55 I was surprised to reach 17 in all (plus the one I live in), though that does involve going back more than 50 years to include school trips. 12 count for proper trains, and at least two more for metros ... maybe more, it's hard to remember. And then, did a trip overnight from Olomouc to Vienna via Prerov in 1970 go via Bratislava (now in Slovakia)?
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: eXPassenger on December 24, 2019, 21:38:25 Travelled in 18, train used in 12. This includes metro travel into major cities and goes back 50 years.
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: chuffed on December 25, 2019, 08:02:36 18 and 12 for me
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: johnneyw on December 25, 2019, 22:50:01 Excluding the UK:
Visited 9, trains in 7. Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Adelante_CCT on December 26, 2019, 08:31:28 11 visited, 8 travelled in by rail
Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Gordon the Blue Engine on December 26, 2019, 11:37:50 About 23 and 23 for me.
a) I/we prefer to travel by train rather than car b) 23 is still less than a third of my age, so I've had more time to travel. So maybe there should be an age-weighting moderation! ... we were able to do Golden Eagle's Balkan Explorer a few years ago, so that ticked off quite a few countries. Title: Re: Member's travel record Post by: Andy on January 14, 2020, 14:40:22 18 visited, 13 travelled by train.
