== [[France]] ==
TGV trains are best, Ter trains are the worst, others are tolerable. South from Pqris the police are liberal and will only write down your name, birth date, etc., north from Pqris you cqn except to get arrested and have serious trouble if you really have no ID.
== [[Spain]] ==There are many different types of trains (Rodalies, regional, regional express and Catalunya express are obviously the worst, as they have the most stops) and you have to be aware of the fact that depending on where you are, trains may not go frequently. The conductor may either check the whole train several times or after initial check rely on his memory to see who has just hopped on the train. He doesn´t get off the train while checking, so you can jump off the train and jump back on on that part that he has already checked. Trains have only one inspector, even if they are composed of two parts between which you can´t walk. They don´t call the police if you refuse to pay or show a proof of identity, you simply have to get off at the next stop. White timetables (those showing trains going between two locations, not just those stopping from a particular station) list only regional trains - well, in case, you´re wondering why there are so few trains listed. Trains seem to have only one toilet, if any.If you´re leaving Barcelona, you should be aware that in Estacio de Sants and Estacio de Franca you´re supposed to validate a ticket when at the entry to the platforms and there is frequently somebody standing to see if everybody is doing so, the best option for evading this is probably to take any Rodalies train to Passeig de Gracia where all trains going from Estacio de Franca south and from Estacio de Sants north and Rodalies trains stop at the same platform.
