Another pretty comprehensive post Pete I really enjoy your sleeper train travels, they give me the best options on which sleeper cabins to stay in and the best routes to plan a holiday, I’m coaxing my wife to do a tour of 2 or 3 countries in Europe and use the sleeper trains to get from one place to the next, big thumbs up

Wow Petr this looks amazing. The same as the NightJet pretty much but at a more reasonable price. With the added bonus of being able to roam about to the dining car as well.
What a great video!! Congratulation! This is in my opinion the main purpose of night trains: connecting cities with trough cars. Even if breakfast is provided, this is very precious to have the possibility to go maybe even for breakfast in the dining car. I am looking forward discovering other interesting trains! Continue! 😊

Díky moc! Naštěstí ten první ranní spoj není přes Rakousko tak vytížený.. Mělo by jezdit celkem jen 5 vozů, je to kvůli délce nástupišť v některých stanicích v Rakousku. Jinak v Budějovicích jsme dostali ještě posilové B209 (a díky tomu jsme pak neměli možnost zkrátit zpoždění, protože V=max 140 km/h :-D)

Hi great video did the train go past linz and the summerauerbahn or did it go over vienna? I wanted to spot it in Freistadt but the train didn't come😢
@PeteBrandy
Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks :-) The train is divided into 2 parts at Linz Hbf, the MÁV portion continue along the Westbahn towards Vienna, the ČD sleeping car then run together with the EC330 towards Summerau. However, it may happen that the sleeping car is missing, due to construction work between Innsbruck - Salzburg, the euroNight train sometimes arrives to Linz too late, so the EuroCity to Praha is not waiting for it, then this sleeper car is waiting for another train to Prague (which I think departs 4 hours after EC330).
Does the train pass through Bavaria between Innsbruck and Salzburg or does it stay in Austria the whole time?
@PeteBrandy
Жыл бұрын
It normally runs through Germany between Innsbruck and Salzburg, but due to construction work in this section, night trains take a diversion route via Zell am See

Out of all the sleeper cars you took, which one (from what railway operator) impressed you the most as being modern and comfortable? No matter the price

I think this type (WLABmz Comfortline made by Siemens) is currently the most comfortable and also still modern. ČD also operated newly modernised WLABmee coaches, but these are not so comfortable.

Ahoj, moc mě tvá videa baví, obzvláště ty spací vlaky, ale jen jsme se chtěl zeptat - prof jsi vlastně odešel od natáčení letů, a natáčíš vlaky? Jak říkám, jen mě to zajímá.🙂🚃

Ahoj! Díky moc! Tím jak byla několik let velmi omezená nabídka letů z Prahy jsem začal také využívat vlaky s tím, že budu na kanále mít jak letecká, tak i vlaková videa.. ale vlaky měly mnohem větší úspěch a navíc mi propadly všechny nalétané výhody u aerolinek (míle a statusy), takže bych musel s létáním začít opět od nuly. Letos jsem sice letěl letadlem, ale ani jsem z té cesty nedělal video :-D

Is there any difference in the menu btw these cars and the classic restaurant cars

If you mean the bistro car, the menu is the same as in classic restaurant cars, only restaurant cars on Prague - Berlin - Hamburg have higher prices when run in Germany.
Just a note about your breakfast (20:10). You say you went for the sweet option "of course" but it's worth knowing that a healthy breakfast must contain lots of proteins and little in the way of sugar. So...

This was a ČD sleeping car and ÖBB has exactly the same cars and I think these coaches are one of the best sleepers. Btw. all WLABmz coaches are from one Comfortline series manufactured by Siemens Maribor - 12 coaches for ČD and 42 coaches for Deutsche Bahn, the coaches from Deutsche Bahn were then bought by ÖBB for Nightjet services. However, ÖBB has also other types of sleeping cars (double-decker) and many couchettes.

@@PeteBrandy you're correct. I am now getting more familiar with the types :) I recently tried the CD WLABmee from Bud to Prague and found the beds really stiff and uncomfortable. As far as I know WLABmz type are a bit of an older version. Wondering if the cushioning is better there? In the video at least it seems pretty comfy.

I was about to drop you a great comment on your last trip report, dang it I clicked the "cancel" button then everything I wrote went disappeared Forget about that by the way. Well, this is a full "Yes" list shown by a sleeper train as compared to the previous trip report which only missed one "Yes" to be considered as fully listed with Y. For me, I think this is one of the most internationalised trainsets that you have ever taken as I recon with coaches from four different countries although they split in the mid-journey. Great is that they provided a better-locking door unlike the earlier night trains being reviewed by others previously. A great review you got here and don't wander too long outside the station.
