Vere nice, Pete! I like sleeper trains. It is something different, a type of an adventure during night and morning breakfast and so. You know how I mean it. Thanks 😊

Coach No. 372 is 1st Class Section of the IC Train to Breclav. You probably mean No. 362 for the couchette car.

Thanks, fixed .. I have a template for descriptions and since I mostly travel in 1st class, I have car 372 written there by default :-D

Extraordinary video. I also travelled on this route, from Budapest to Prague and back, but with EuroCity Metropolitan. And the experience was great. I also travelled this year from Budapest to München by ÖBB Railjet, and i'm planning to go to Zürich next year, of course by EuroNight Kálmán Imre. Central Europe has the best trains, with very good conditions and also good services. Many likes and subscribes! Greetings from Romania

Looks great! Love the dining car on the Czech trains since the prices are reasonable and it's a swanky way to get fed. Haven't had a single problem free trip with the Hungarian trains though. Absolute disaster and the Hungarian passengers were absolutely awful too.

To je pravda

In a 4 berth configuration, the right thing to do, would have been the middle beds to be lifted into position at their upper site and the top ones folded up completely. I've traveled on many couchettes in Europe and the staff simply ignores that configuration. If it's a 4, they simply still use the 6 configuration, leaving upper passengers with no headroom on top and less bed space on the bottom. Kinda sucks

Which attractions will you visit in Budapest? I recommend the Railway History Park at Tatai Road.

Nice video to experience the actual trip..in the couchette, does it have enough space for the luggage though?

@PeteBrandy

16 күн бұрын

Thanks do much! It depends on how large items of luggage you have. There is storage space above the door and cabin-sized luggage can be stowed under the lower bunks. If you will travel in a compartment in the T4 layout (for 4 people), the middle berths can also be used to store luggage.

Sadly Regiojet took all austrian couchettes from Service because of the Accident. Honestly, i dont think the Cars were to blame from their Construction. Old Cars just didnt have Crash Norms.

@PeteBrandy

I think it's about maintenance, I also don't believe it would be a construction fault. Otherwise, ČD cars are in much better condition, a year and a half ago I traveled in the same RegioJet couchette car and it was in much worse condition.

Poslednú dobu jazdím v týchto vozňoch dosť často a musím uznať, že tá modernizácia je skvelá. Len škoda, že nepoužívajú konfiguráciu pre 4 lehátka. Stredné a horné lehátko sú upevnené na mechanizme ktorým by sa mali dať posunúť tak aby boli tesne na sebe, vznikli by tak 4 miesta kde dolný aj horný pasažier by mali o dosť viac priestoru a bolo by to oveľa komfortnejšie. Zvyknem cestovať hlavne hore, kvôli väčšiemu súkromiu a vzhľadom k zahnutej streche by som toto fakt ocenil. Chápem, že s tým je nejaká práca, ale stevardi sú predsa vo vozňoch aj tak dopredu aby ich pripravili pre daný počet cestujúcich. Keď tam tá možnosť z technickej stránky je, príde mi to jednoducho ako lenivosť to nepoužívať, škoda.

@PeteBrandy

Ай бұрын

Nevím proč je ve 4-místném uspořádání prostřední lehátko jen vyklopené šikmo nahoru .. ale co jsem se díval, tak mi přišlo že ten mechanismus je maličko rozdílný oproti původním ÖBB vozům, ptal jsem se i stevarda a říkal, že takto to má bý ve variantě T4.. ale zkusím to zjistit, samotného mě to zajímá :-)

Köszönöm, thank you :-)

if you wanna use just 2nd class, you have to use this train only as IC that ends in Břeclav and you have to wait to 5 morning to use another 2nd class that come from another country, if i understand it right :D ČD joke again.

I hate blinding bright lights in coaches.

Interesting video, am curious, you usually book a room for a single person, why did you book the couchette and how did you know that you would not be sharing? I would assume that the dining car does little business during the night but does some sales in the morning. All in all a nice trip. Thanks.

@PeteBrandy

Ай бұрын

Thanks so much for watching! I usually travel in a sleeper car, where it is possible to reserve an entire compartment, but this is not possible with couchette cars. Having a compartment for yourself in a couchette car is possible if you know in which car the system automatically assigning reservations and then you just need to go to the ticket office to purchase a reservation and request a specific bed in the other (less occupied) car. And I also knew in advance that they will add one extra couchette car that week that only went full in the opposite direction :-D

So... if you book a berth and lock it from the inside before anyone else arrives, does this make it a private compartment?

No. A private compartment is when no one else buys a berth in the same compartment .. On less occupied trains, this is possible if you know in which car the system automatically assigning reservations and then you just need to go to the ticket office to purchase a reservation and request a specific bed in the other (less occupied) car.
