Fans were left waiting for hours at a tram station in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on June 16-17 after the England v Serbia match at Euro 2024.

This footage by Oliver Moody, a sports correspondent for DW News, shows a huge throng at the station.

Moody said that the experience was “shambolic” and that it “took me and other people I’ve spoken to well over two hours to get back to Gelsenkirchen.”

The trams, which had only three carriages, were running infrequently, according to Adrian Rutherford, a journalist for the Belfast Telegraph.
