Bratislava to Prague (Train)

[Curtains]

So that works out at £33 each, while our 1st class were €40 each.:confused:

Thats what they quoted me on an email and then when we rang up it was the same. The fcukers are maybe getting clever and putting the prices up. Although 40 euro would be the equivalent of 30-33 pound so maybe there is no seperate class' on the train. I remember the EC train we got from stuttgart up to cologne last september and its just one big massive train with each carraige being identical. Who knows, but the holiday is working out cheaper than the german trip already so im not complaining. :)

[Claret Murph]

Five of us got sorted today for the 12:25 train on the Sunday, one of the lads rang and was promptly dealt with....

So as of now tickets are still available...

Still you have to feel sorry for poor old Koemans as he will have to travel cattle class as no one wanted to sit with him in 1st class :D;):D;

You got a good deal there Mayo......our First Class Tickets cost Eu57 each:mad:.......I expect the price rises with the demand, like the cheap airlines, with the last few seats being the most expensive.

Hey, how did you do this? I got thru to deutsche bhan using the above number this morning and they quoted a price, but she wouldn't book it for me, she said I had to be in Germany??

I used the link Paulie posted on the first page of this thread and called the UK number. She took all my details, quoted the price (which I cant quite remember):o and then booked it.
I used my UK debit card, but it wouldn't matter if id used the Irish one as others have booked their tickets as well.

She was really nice, took about 10mins in all and said she will post them to me today.

Maybe you should try calling back :confused:

Got mine in post this morning after ringing them on Monday. Mind you i cant make head nor tail of them as its all in German and Slovak. I'll have to pester the multi lingual slovak barmaid in my local tonight.

Anyone flying in to prague and getting the train to bratislavia on friday? Any info on the train timetable for friday the 7th?

Yeh were flying into prague on the thursday and getting the train down on the friday. As far as i know there is a train to bratislava every few hours for around 10 euro. From all the posts very few people have put this route down as their way of travel so i think you would be safe enough to wait til you get into prague and then book it from there. Thats what we plan to do anyway. Id book the train back on the monday though.

[razorb]

Am i blind? I have sent e mail through the "Contact us" and have only had a polite reply. Any way does anyone have a contact number or did ye book by internet? :confused:

:D It's all gonna be one big train with first class having different coloured seats to our deuxieme! :p There's no escaping us!

If you go to the link at the start of this thread it will bring up a page where international tickets can be booked. Unfortunately the train from bratislava to prague cant be booked online but if you ring this UK call centre on 08718 80 80 66 mon-fri between 9 and 5 they can book it for you on credit card. Were on the 12;25 EC170 train on the monday which most have booked. They are very helpful but you may have to wait a while until you get through. Hope this helps.

[eirebhoy]

So should be get this sorted now or will it be ok when we get over there?

I originally thought it would be ok getting it over there but the thought of the guts of 6000-7000 people trying to get on the same trains persuaded me to book it ahead of time, if only for piece of mind and to beat any chaos!!

[eirebhoy]

I'm just owed too much money for this trip as it is and don't want to be paying for everyone for yet another thing. :)

Cheers, sorted now! I got put thru to a German call centre the first time for some reason.

Cannot wait for this trip, should be amazin!

Fair enough.......but just checking that you have booked ( and paid for ) the Bratislava City Tour & Prague Pub Crawl, for my party.......approx 6,000 of us!:D

p.s.we will all be ever so grateful

Absolutely! It was chaotic enough in Stuttgart and in Rimini, so we decided rather than face trying to face booking a ticket with a hang over on Monday morning with the queues etc its much better to do it this way!

Cant believe its only 3 weeks today :eek: Cant wait :D

[Dr. Ogba]

Hi Doc....I think you drop the 0 before the 87..i.e. 0044 87

[Babysis]

Hi Doc....I think you drop the 0 before the 87..i.e. 0044 87

Yep, 0044 drop the first zero

[Dr. Ogba]

Yeah I've dropped the zero already and it starts ringing before I get to the last 2 digits...then it gives the usual "the number you have dialled is not in service"!!!

Has everyone else booked using this number? Very frustrating :mad:

The number should be:

00448718 80 80 66

Thats the one I booked on. I couldnt do it using a calling card though. If your calling from work, maybe they dont allow international calls :confused:

Yeah that crossed my mind alright but I regularly make international calls as part of work so it may be that they've barred that particular type of number...

Cheers for the help anyway! :) Will have to call from my mobile now...:mad:

[razorb]

They rang me back so thanks for the help. Paid €255 for 9 of us to go in steerage. Probably be allowed to bring our own stack of beers to sit on for the journey.

[Dr. Ogba]

Must say was veryu impressed with the customer service of that place. Sent them an email saying I couldn't get through and they called me instead - All sorted now 7 for the Sunday £135 - nay too bad!

[KildareRed]

How much are the tickets for the 12:25 Monday train at the moment??

[AidoM]

How much are the tickets for the 12:25 Monday train at the moment??

Just booked mine for second class :o @ £28.15 (stg) + £3 (stg) postage.

[HolylandsMan]

Aido - I got booked at lunchtime there for Sunday - 4 of us at the same price (which is the price Paulie quoted at the start 28stg roughly €40)

Dr Ogba seems to have gotten cheaper though?

Good service i agree - fella was saying he's had nothing but Irish booking that train recently - £7 in call credit gone though!

Are we not good enough for you.They have all the match tickets in First class.Youre going to stuck with Babysis and Green Tribe and you know how they go on and on and on and on.

Don't tell anyone but I know how to do first class (without paying :eek:). I will be able to look through the toughened glass to see how the other half lives :p

Yeah mine has worked out at about €30 each...maybe its a bit cheaper if you book for more? Or maybe we'll just be turfed out in the arse-end of nowhere! :eek:

Not necessarily true Mr.Bear.........sadly!!:(:(

[Saint Tom]

a crew of seven of us on this train, but gonna book it as soon as I get to Bratislava. according to an emailed response I got from slovak rail, first class is €24 one way if you book at a cash desk. cant justify €15 per person if seven are travelling this way

[Babysis]

My tickets arrived yesterday, so thats one less thing to have to sort.

[AidoM]

Tickets arrived in post this morning :) - 2 days after ordering them - German efficiency

[shaneker]

I'm on the Sunday 12:25, anybody know how long the tickets take to deliver? I ordered them three days ago and they said they would be posted first class (and I'm in England so they've no excuse).

[KoemansCC]

We ordered ours last Wednesday afternoon and they arrived in Dublin Friday...

[stojkovic]

Booked on the Sunday 12.25 train.

Booked them on Tuesday and the tickets arrived Thursday.

[stiofain]

With the cheap beer in mind, this might be a stupid question but is anyone planning to get the first train on the Monday? I think its at about 8 in the monring or thereabouts. Thats the one i'm hoping to get and i'm just wondering if i'll have a chance of getting a seat.

[shaneker]

Panic over, got my train tickets this morning :)

There's a fast train that leaves about 6.30ish in the AM and it was the train used in the James Bond film, Casino Royale, apparently.
