BREAK OUT: Breaking open the doors of a German train and hiking across the lines is illegal! But I and about 700 other sweaty passengers found it necessary on the way to Oktoberfest one day. The train stopped (electrical failure) and we were stuck inside cooking for over an hour – just 500m away from the Main Train Station. Fortunately, Munich’s public transport is usually as efficient as you would expect from Germany. Pic:© Stuart Anderson - Destination Munich
