June 1st - The world's best-ever rail deal?

Could this be the world's best-ever rail deal: unlimited travel anywhere in Germany by rail, bus, tram or U-bahn for the whole of June for €9 (£7.70) – just 25p per day.

The one-month ticket has been backed by billions of euros by the German government in a bid to entice people back to public transport. And it’s open to foreign visitors as well, including Simon Calder, travel correspondent of The Independent, who’s at Cologne railway station.
