fallowfield said:if it helps - have checked bahn.de train site for the Tues 4th Dec re Dortmund back to Dusseldorf
Train at 23.12 is fine - takes 53 mins -
but if you can't make this then next is at 23.53 and takes 90 mins, so 1.30am before back and having beer again (too long/too later for me)
then next one 01.52 and from what posters earlier in thread have said you have to pay once it's gone past midnight, your match ticket no longer valid for free travel
I'd prefer to stay in Dusseldorf as I did for Schalke but the train home was a ballache.
That 23.12 would be fine - back by midnight. Just not sure if we can make it. I assume the kick off is 8.45 local time - so finishing about 10.35 - is that right?
Any of our German posters comment if we'd make it back to the station for the 23.12 train?
I'm going off my stay in Dorf and the Schalke game.
As Rhur says, what's going on in Dusseldorf when you arrive back at 1am that's not going on in Dortmund?
What's going on in Manchester at 1am on a Tuesday night?
It'll take half an hour to applaud the team off the field and make your way out of the stadium. You don't know what the segregation will be like outside the stadium. At Schalke it took ages to walk around to where the buses were parked and by the time we got there they were full. So I don't see any chance at all of making it for the 23.12 train
