To Ruhr by train (and back)

If you wish to travel by train to Ruhr, here is the way to go:

On the rails, with the beautiful landscapes of Sweden, Denmark and Germany passing by
the windows.

THE INTERRAIL TICKET:

https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/global-pass

I takes 2 travel days each way; 4 in total. This is also the smallest interrail pass possible to
buy. 194 euro is the price for people under 28 – if you are older the price is 258 euros. In
NOK it is 2278 kr and 3030 kr. We need 8 euro extra for some seat reservations. The
school refunds up to 2500, so for those under 28 it should all be covered.
As you read, it takes two days each way. It can either be done by taking a night train from
Sweden to Hamburg (extra 30 euro) OR you can take a stop and visit your friends or your
friends friends in DENMARK.
So I’ll share my travel plan with you, so you get an idea. Of course it is possible to make
your midway-stop in other places than Aarhus (even though it is the most beautiful city in
DK and I can help with free accommodation for people – unless we go all 23, that might be
more difficult.)

Wedensday 6/9 (or an earlier day might be possible for

scenographers)
Normally there is a direct train
from Göteborg to
Copenhagen, but maybe it is
not jet registered in the app.
That would mean 1 less
change
Of course, your stop can also
be in Copenhagen.

Thursday 7/9
Early start, but we might be
able to take a later train…
depending on which station in
Ruhr it is, waiting for Phillip to
confirm. The next arrives
15.45, but to another station,
it might be just in time.
The journey back is included in the interrail ticket, here our problem is how the school has
chosen to schedule… with not enough time to get from Ruhr back to Fredrikstad. Not very
eco-friendly of them hmmmmm.
That Monday we will all (both actors and scenographers) have Ingvild. I will try to ask her,
if that day in some way can be structured, so some of us can work from a train. We are of
course not sure of if she is willing to do so, but I have hopes.
