- stay in the 3rd wagon, and when you see the control approaching, go the opposite direction. If the train is full, the control might be slow and you might arrive in Megara before he reaches you. If he catches you without a ticket, you wont pay any fine, but just the EUR 3 euro ticket.
From the train platform of Megara, you can see the restaurant / petrol station.
