@LeafHuntress
March 3, 2024 at 1:30 pm
Those teams taking taxis in the Netherlands while there are perfectly serviceable trains available almost physically hurts.
Also, the winning strategy would've been to fly over the alps, do a bunch of deliveries in that region with nice high points & get on a sleepertrain for your 8 hours rest to wake up in Utrecht.

@matthewfoster2261
March 3, 2024 at 1:30 pm
I think Ben's team should be counted as the winners as zacks team should be penalised for a wrong delivery of 1 point. A bonus point for most deliveries should have been Inc to push teams to go till the end and another point for least money spent just to make it more interesting but for a first run this was entertaining and was definitely worth the watch well done to you all. You're a great team and thoroughly enjoy your content. Definitely a place I come to follow the goings on around the world keep up the great work.
@sethanix3969
March 3, 2024 at 1:30 pm
Once again, Team Ben should have easily won, if they had researched the German rail network more closly, even surpassing the 13 points of the imagined delivery…
Munich(4)-Ulm(2)-Suttgart(2)-Mainz(3)-Bonn(2)-Kรถln-Utrecht are all along a major rail corridor – instead they opted to go around via Nuremberg, bypassing all of those, and furthermore doubling back to Frankfurt because they didn't know about the Rhine valley line (one of the most scenic railways in all of Germany) opting for the Hinterwรคlder-roller coaster via Limburg…
