The local Since 2020, all modes of public transport - buses, trains (CFL) and the tram - have two floors; be aware that there is a ticket booth at the end been free of the first car - don't accidentially run in it, unless you want to buy a ticket. There are ticket inspectors toocharge throughout Luxembourg. If you want to get out of the country, be aware that the inspector will check tickets on the international train as soon as it departs, so, if the next stop is still in Luxembourg, you're screwed. The cops are not liberal.

== [[France]] ==
Freeriding trains in France works quite well. There are mostly two kinds of trains: TGV and TER. '''TGV ''' are high speed long distance trains. (G stands for "Great" and V for the french for "Velocity" another word for speed) '''TER ''' are normal trains that have usually more stops.
'''TER''' can be quite long trains with many carriages but it can also be very small with just 2 carriages or so. On TER you can often be lucky and they don't control at all. Other times when they control they usually control only once or twice during the journey so you can keep your eyes open and try to avoid the control. Usually they don't check in the begining of journey but at some later point which makes it bit harder to predict. Tickets are not being checked in advance so you can just enter TER with no problem.
===High speed===
If you travel far you probably want to take high-speed trains but in many stations they check the tickets for TGV (and ICE and such) on the entry to the platform which makes it kind of impossible to get in and you need to take TER. We tried once to ask the controlers on the gates if they could write us fine directly and let us in but they said that we can't get in without paying. You can't know in advance in what stations they check tickets for high speed trains before boarding but general rule is that in small towns it is likey to have no gates and in big cities there are often gates. You can really jump the gates because there are usually few conducters standing and looking which makes it kind of impossible. Sometimes it happens that also in station where they usually check TGV tickets before boarding they just leave the gates open so you can sometimes be lucky.
=====Stations were they don`t check tickets before going to TGV:=====
===Unguarded turnstyles===
Some trains places do use normal (rotating) turnstyles, turnstyles are sometimes unguarded so you can simply hop. You still may get a control later. Non-rotating turnstyles are not always functionning, you may pass throught those.
== [[Germany]] ==
Germany has an extensive passenger railway system, run by Deutsche Bahn. There are also plenty of freight trains that could be hopped. More information about ticket prices and blackriding can be found in the [[Deutsche Bahn]] article.
If you try to evade fare, they send you to Heligoland Prison, an island in Germany. [Actually, no].

But night traveling is better – turnstiles are open after 9pm and no control during entering to platform or leaving platform.
train in United kingdom are quite fast, 200-250 km/h is quite common, so it is quite scary prom. Many trains have own stop list and it is very different for optimalize train speed. Interval to next train is usually 15-60 minutes. Distance between stops is 25-100 km. There are usually a lot of passengers in train, especially at afternoon. Because of Britain population is huge. ===Turnstyles===
There are slower local trains with more stops and without turnstiles at stop of curse.
