Taylor Swift fans: traveled by train from the USA to Gelsenkirchen!

International Taylor Swift fans strengthen German rail traffic

Wednesday, July 17th, marked the German start of the "Eras Tour", which was eagerly awaited by Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen, which many are referred to as "Swiftkirchen". Visiting the concert is quite a challenge for the countless fans who travel from different parts of the world. Despite all efforts and the long journey, two US citizens found an exceptionally uncomplicated solution.

trip from the USA to Gelsenkirchen

The Americans Jeff (40) and Amanda (32) decided to make their way to Gelsenkirchen by first crossing the Atlantic and then traveling by train. This journey was not only proof of their enthusiasm, but also for the continuing interest in the railway as an environmentally friendly alternative compared to air travel. "We moved into our accommodation days before the concert," said Amanda, who comes from Seattle.

positive impressions of Deutsche Bahn

The two Americans were amazed at the quality of German rail transport. For many Germans, Deutsche Bahn is often the goal of criticism, but the opinions of visitors from overseas could certainly affect perception. Amanda said: "We love German trains compared to American."

punctuality and cleanliness

Jeff added: "The trains are so clean!" While commuters in Germany are sometimes frustrated about the cleanliness of the trains, international visitors seem to take a different perspective. Amanda also praised the punctuality of the trains, which is in a sharp contrast to the experiences of many German travelers who often have to struggle with delays from the train.

Nevertheless, there were other voices. Abigail (22) from Luxembourg spoke openly about her concerns about Deutsche Bahn: "We wanted to have the security to arrive here on time. We have already had experience with Deutsche Bahn." Such comments could indicate a deeper debate about the reliability and quality of rail traffic in Germany.

conclusion: a new look at the train journey

The dedication of the swifties that not only accept a long journey, but also enjoy the train journey into the heart of the "Eras Tour" is not just a story about music. It also shows how international travelers can appreciate German transport offers. The positive feedback could be an incentive for those responsible to improve customer experiences in rail transport, while at the same time creating a feeling of connection between different cultures. The "Eras Tour" has not only beaten a bridge in Gelsenkirchen, but also in the minds of the visitors.
