Maisels & Friends Craft beer fest / More weird train stuff
Posted by Jason on 2017-09-14 02:06:45
Annual event taking place tomorrow in the maisel's and Friends pub in Bayreuth. I am tempted to visit as it's been a while since I visited a beer festival and I have no other plans. Problem is that there is this silly stretch of line between Burgkunstadt and Bayreuth which is not in the VGN. It is therefore procluded from using a pass / VGN ticket and one must go the long way round via Nuernberg.

Personally I think this is stupid. Sure, if you are alighting in that stretch then you need at least a ticket between the last VGN stop and your stop. But if you are going through to Bayreuth they should allow you to travel through. It's almost an hour longer via Nuernberg. 

To me, it makes no sense.
