Dortmund away - travel

[ColoursInMyHead]

There will be eight of us on the 8.58 Eurostar from St Pancras, 5th November. Change at Brussels for the 1.28pm to Cologne, then we're just going to jump a local train from Cologne to Dusseldorf, it's not far so shouldn't be expensive. The Eurostar out on 5th, back on 7th cost £117 per person including the connection from Brussels to Cologne.

There's four of us on the same train out. Coach 4 to Brussels, and coach 28 to Cologne. But I guess plenty of time in the bar carriage as well. We're staying in Dortmund itself though. I've even picked out the Brauhaus to go to in Cologne when we get there for mid-journey Kölsch.

Anyone that's done this for under £200 so far (including the £40 ticket in that) has done pretty well IMO. The free trains on the Wednesday are handy in keeping the price down a bit though .

I think my total so far is a bout £175

Return flights from Luton, Going Monday morning and back Fri evening were £60
4 nights stay in Unique Novum hotel was £75pp
Ticket £40

£175

also booked tickets to go see Cologne vs Union Berlin on the Monday night, They worked out £21 each including postage to the UK

We are flying to Amsterdam from stansted then getting the train into Dortmund hotel right by the station aswell worked out quite cheap. Only problem is the website crashed when they went onsale to our season tickets and then sold out. So travelling without match tickets atm. If anyone has any spares or any last minute drop outs we will be happy to take any off your hands. Can collect before travel or meet up in Dortmund and will throw in some beer as well!!!

The only thing that's possible is that he'll need to stay fit for 50 games because otherwise we'll be unleashing Chuba Chops, the Fat Danish Samurai or Postman Pat on Europe's finest !

Me and a mate are driving over from Portsmouth.
Will be a 05:00 start on Wednesday to drive to Folkstone then the Eurotunnel to Calais then drive to Bochum.
EuroTunnel return was £60 and hotel in Bochum was £64 so between the 2 of us it is pretty cheap.

I assume everyone is meeting up in the main square at Dortmund? (I'll be the guy falling asleep after driving 500 miles )

traffic can be a bit of a nightmare in the Ruhrgebiet. Might as well take the A42 instead of the A40...

Cheaper than a free train ride?

not free from Cologne is it ? 70 miles away? doubt it!! if your going to the 2nd Cologne airport outside Cologne there is no train station so you have to train it into Cologne too!
