    Very interesting video! I know these kind of coaches from ÖBB, if find the seats pretty comfy too. They were built by Simmering-Graz-Pauker (now part of Siemens) that also made the old Subways and Trams in Vienna. It's funny that they snuck in a 1. Class option just by putting a leather cover on the seat. But at that price, you can't complain 😅 Little correction: the door seats also have a table (you can even see it for a moment in the video at 3:50 ), but they are pretty hidden under the armrest when folded, so I don't blame you for missing them

    Thanks for the insights and the correction. When rewatching the content I can just see the foldable tables, what a pity I missed them. I'll make sure to pin a comment with corrections for my mix-ups soon :)

    Great video, you have a new follower! Loved your narrating and what you showed! 1. Most people in Hungary hope that the state won’t be able to increase its shares in the company cos…let’s just say missing soap would be the least of our problems 😅 the Hungarian government’s obnoxious ministers have done a lottttt of damage to the Austrian-Hungarian relations. 2. These are ex-ÖBB carriages, almost identical to the ones running at RegioJet 3. The company (really the government) back then wasted too much time with acquiring the used ÖBB carriages, this is why there were no more first class suitable ones to buy unfortunately. It really is an “upgraded” economy that u get when booking “first” class. A bit like the business class on European airlines 😂 4. YT just recommended your channel, off I go to check out your other vids 😍 Safe travels!

    Thank you so much for the feedback and most importantly: the insights. I read that the plan of Hungary to increase it's ownership is mainly aimed at getting single decision power for the company b- thus making decisions without having to take Austria's position into account. And without getting into politics all too much: that sounds concerning and definitely won't improve international collaboration in the railway sector nor the quality of service... Regiojet did buy their coaches from Deutsche Bahn, didn't they? And as the IC 1 carriages of Deutsche Bahn are about to be retired as replaced by the new ICE L, GySEV might get another shot at buying first class coaches if they plan to 😁

    Furthermore these are also former ÖBB coaches built between the late 1970s and early 1980s ~ so even more Austria 🇦🇹 in this train. The ÖBB sold a lot of older coaches after buying the new RailJet. Even though similar coaches to these are also still running by the ÖBB.

    @@ExplorebyRail it's quite typical in this part of Europe, that they put these soap bars somewhere near the sink instead of filling the dispenser
