For those of you who are lucky enough to work within the British railway industry then you may or may not know that ATOC have recently updated their website with a list of private operators in Germany that FIP passes are not valid on. Details and information is available from ATOC's own website by clicking here
After having a look it doesn't look very good for those of us who have the pleasure of obtaining coupons for travel. By the way we see it, it leaves only BD Germanys national rail operator with whom you may use coupons with.
For those of us who travel within Germany all is not lost as there is still the fact that DB still does fame itself on it's low fares and the fact you can get Leander tickets for upto 5 persons who can together travel from roughly 08:30 to 03:00 unlimited. Leander tickets start from €28 see here for more details
For example.......
Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein-Ticket
Package price: 30 EUR if you buy online or at the ticket machine. 32 EUR at Reisezentrum.
This ticket is valid from Monday to Sunday for one day of your choice from 9 a.m. until 3 a.m. of the following day on Saturday, Sundays and bank holidays from 0 until 3 a.m the following day. It can be used on all local trains (Regional-Express, Regionalbahn, S-Bahn) and the transport systems in Hamburger Verkehrsverbundes (HVV) zone A and B, in the Kieler Verkehrsverbundes (VRK), Tarifgemeinschaft Lübeck (TGL) and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in regional trains.
Leander tickets are available for travel on all days only, for those who wish to travel on weekends and wish to travel to other areas in Germany (from north to south etc) then the option best suited for this is the Schoenes wochenende ticket. Similar to the leander ticket this allows a group of 5 unlimited travel on a Saturday or Sunday throughout the whole of Germany for only €37 click here for details
