TLDR's Race Across Europe - Episode 4

The last delivery should have been in Finland so it could have been a true Finnish Line

Being due to miss your connection because the train you're currently in is delayed, but then making the connection anyways because the other train is delayed as well is a very Deutsche Bahn moment.

[@Souru_TV]

Yep absolutely

[@MiniCraftWolskys]

It is also very SNCF like tbh xD

[@ychentt]

The only thing left literally ist to go to the station early for an earlier but delayed train.

[@scifino1]

Pro-tip for when your Deutsche Bahn train is delayed, and you'd miss your connection: Go find a ticket conductor, tell them about it and ask for help politely. If you've got a ticket with Zugbindung (ticket is only valid on the trains mentioned on the ticket), they will upgrade your ticket to one that is valid on all trains, that go towards your target. If the other train is also operated by Deutsche Bahn, they might also ask the other train's team to wait for you. At stations with a DB service center, they will also remove the Zugbindung, if you've missed your connection through no fault of your own.

[@namenamename390]

@@scifino1 Yeah, it's important to know your rights as a customer of DB. They will even pay for a hotel if a delay gets you stuck somewhere in the middle of the night.

[@Nachrigall]

You don’t even have to go to the ticket conductor. If your train is delayed and because of that you miss a connection in between you can take ANY train that goes to your destination. I travel a lot in German via train, and I actually love it, when I miss my connection (it has to be the fault of the DB, and you have to have ONE Ticket for the entire trip), because it often means, I can get on a quicker train. So sometimes I buy a train ticket (over Frankfurt to Berlin) for less than 20€ with 3+ stops and mostly I don’t get my connection in Frankfurt (I buy with less than 10min switching time) and than I’m able to jump in ANY train that goes in the direction of Berlin, per example the sprinter, that doesn’t have any more stop, goes much faster and would actually cost much more… just work with the system and it usually works out.

I'm surprised that both teams have taken taxis from Schiphol as it has amazing connections to both The Hague and Breda, probably even faster then by car

[@REDnBLACKnRED]

It's the same in Copenhagen, pretty good train connections. I think not knowing a place and figuring things out about public transport takes time and they probably just wanted to get it done ASAP

[@JanRademan]

Team Ben's secret plan was to make everyone else as confused as themselves as to where they were going.

[@leonardpesch]

At 21:51 that's actually one of the headquarters of Deutsche Bahn (German Railways). You could've complained about your delayed trains there. I also really love how you're in my small German home town 700 meters away from my house over night and I absolutely didn't notice.

Filing an official complaint would definitely have resulted in... something. Yes, something for sure! 😁

In Frankfurt, you should always go to Frankfurt Airport. Better connections to everywhere, „Sprinter-ICEs“ to the Cologne/Dusseldorf/Bonn-area for example. If anyone was thinking about ever doing such a challenge again - like Team Ben, haha.

[@lufseto8]

So how were you guys delivering the final order? Like, did the three teams have different parts of the order each, or is it all the same order but you would just give it to the person 3 times?

[@nettcologne9186]

Why via Nuremberg? The normal route from Munich via Stuttgart, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Mainz, Bonn to Amsterdam would have brought 16 points.

[@mma0911]

I love this series so much. Perhaps season two, when and if that happens, ought to be across other regions/countries with high TLDR viewership

[@sethanix3969]

Seeing them walk along Mainz south station (now called Roman theather) with the next delivery in Bonn (which is less than a 90 minutes direct train drive from Mainz Hbf) and then seeing them back in Frankfurt 40 kms in the wrong direction is mind boggeling... As a PS: I also can't figure why they didn't take the Ulm one on the way. There are direct trains from Ulm to Mainz via Stuttgart, and the route is only slightly slower than the route via Nuremberg... It seems that your biggest hurdle in this game was not knowing enough about the German rail system...

I feel insulted that you felt like taking a taxi from Schiphol to the Hague/Breda. You can literally get there faster by train

[@atishayjain1563]

Have Ben’s team completely forgotten about the concept of flying or what? They have wasted so much time on trains

[@wave1090]

No really. Flying is often not faster, since you have to arrive at the airport about an hour before the flight and flights don't leave as often as trains. So while a train from Munich to Frankfurt takes 3,5 hours and a flight 1 (+1) hour if you are in Munich at 10, want to get to Frankfurt asap and the only flight is leaving at 14, taking the train leaving at 10:30 is the faster option.

[@atishayjain1563]

Following their delivery in munich, they spend most of the day travelling to lower value points. Had they spent that time on going to a far location, with high value points (like Austria) they could have tried to just fly back to Netherlands. I just feel them spending so much time in trains did not gain them as much they would have liked

[@merseyviking]

While German trains are almost as bad as British trains for delays and cancellations, I think they made the right choice. While the flight may be quicker, the extra time needed at the airport plus the travel time from the airport to the city at best will cancel it out. Then there's the added benefits of not having to deal with security and getting comfy table seats.

[@atishayjain1563]

@@merseyviking probably but this way they will not be able to get as many points as they want I feel. Going for a fiver and then flying back will rsult in the same time but more points.

[@turtleandbear1179]

i dont think i entirely understood. teams are allowed to make further orders after one team delivered the 1000th one?

[@fatim0nster]

Yes, teams are allowed to make further orders after one of them had delivered the 1000th, just not the team that delivered it. I think that's one if the major gambles in this game - you deliver the final order first and get 5 points, but you're not allowed to chase any further points. While other teams can make their plays to make up for not beating them for the final delivery.

[@gregweatherup9596]

@@fatim0nsteryes, but I believe that if any team doesn’t reach the final destination before the time limit then they loose all points.

[@fatim0nster]

​@@gregweatherup9596you are right, however this doesn't contradict the above. They are allowed to make the deliveries, unless they've delivered the final order. And what you mentioned is another clever element of the game - they can still chase other deliveries, but they lose their points if they come last. I believe the second team to make it to the finish line gets 3 points as well.

[@berlindude75]

It was on the screen: 5 points for first team at final delivery, 3 points for the second, and 1 point for the third and last team. You just have to make sure to be there before the deadline, and you cannot make additional deliveries after the final point.

[@nander5000]

When you say "this season", Jack, does this mean you will do this again soon? Really enjoying the episodes. Hoping you will indeed do this again. Maybe with a slightly longer timer than 30 hours? Although I can imagine that may put a bit of a strain on the budget. Keep up the good work, regardless!

[@captainufo4587]

Will there be any money left to win, at this rate?

[@MrNacktnasenwombi]

Why did not team take a car? Was it mandatory to take public transport?

[@ilksral3815]

They've taken taxis multiple times. Their limiting factor is budget - every team had only 3000€ to spend for the entire game.

[@TLDRnewsEU]

Teams weren't allowed to rent cars, and just from a timing/budget perspective I don't know if it'd have been a great play anyway, especially as rental companies charge you big fees if you don't drop it back at the same location. For fairness though, some teams had more/less people comfortable driving in Europe so we decided to ban it entirely - Jack

[@TLDRnewsEU]

The rules didn't specifically ban it. We didn't really expect anyone to try, because the rules do state that the first team to declare a delivery get the points, not necessarily the first to make the delivery. So the risk of not announcing a delivery is that another team could still beat you & get the points. However, Ben's team were (correctly) confident that that wouldn't happen, and as such were willing to delay the announcement. If we did it again (we won't) we'd change the rules to ban that kind of play, but we just didn't expect it - Jack
