Das blaue Licht im Abteil, finde ich super.
Ja, so ist es :-)
My goodness we just missed each other. I took the train from Vienna to Krakow last week. Went 2nd class, what a piece of junk the car was old and very warm inside. Will be taking the train from Katowice to Prague in about 10 days and then after 6 days in Prague, Regio Jet, your recommendation, from Prague to Bratislava. Enjoyed you video thanks for taking me along with you. Any suggestions for a short train ride an hour or two while I am in Prague?
Thanks so much! If you want to try some trains around Prague, you can try the new InterJet train on the route Prague - Pilsen (Plzeň) - it runs every 2 hours and you can recognize it by its IC (InterCity) designation. On weekends, you can also try one of the KŽC trains, operated by historical sets (e.g. Kokořínský rychlík with Bautzen coaches or "Pražský motoráček" operated by a historical railcar).
@@PeteBrandy Thanks for the tips. they both sound interesting. I think I will try and do both.
Ahoj Pete ✋✋✋ Nice to see You on Kraków 😁😁😁I think You had a good time in Kraków 😁😁😁 Super trip report ( as always ). And of course amazing loco - Husarz - Pilecki 👍👍👍 Gooc luck Pete
Część Piotrek :-) Thanks so much! Kraków is beautiful city :-) I was pleased that we were hauled by a Husarz locomotive in a special livery. Greetings from Prague :-)
Amazing video!
Thank you :-)
Thanks for the ride!
Thanks for watching!
I like your videos travelling to/from Poland :)
Thank so much! :-)
Great trip report as always. You keep us updated with the train condition in Czechia and not only. Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for watching! :-)
Great video to PL 😊👍
Thank you :-)
Thank you. Very interesting regards Ian, UK 🇬🇧.
Thanks so much! Greetings from Prague :-)
Thank you for posting this video. The train station looks very nice with the night lighting. As always, I enjoyed your video.
Thanks so much! Yes, Praha hl.n. is beautiful with the night lighting :-)
Amazing
Thanks :-)
the irony when beer is cheaper on a train, than it is in a bar :D reminds me of taking a train from Prague to Nove Zamky and I was amazed how cheap everything was. Great video!
Thank you! Yes, it is :-D Especially in Central Europe the prices of refreshments on trains are very reasonable :-)
Well done 👍 Kind regards 🙂
Thanks so much! Greetings from Prague :-)
U lůžkových vlaků se mi líbí, jak se kombinuje několik řad vozů různého proveden, účelu i z různých zemí :D
To mě taky, a zajímavé je i jak se různě spojují a rozpojují různé části nočních vlaků podle destinací.
Velmi povedené video 👍👍
Díky moc! :-)
The aisle walls and carpet in the sleeping car look exceptionally clean and unscarred.
ČD long-distance trains are mostly clean and well maintained, especially these sleeping cars :-)
Thanks Pete.
Thanks Bob!
Konečně zas noční vlak. Ale zkus jet někdy i do Humenného a zpátky slovenskou Zemplínou. A z Bratislavy samozřejmě Maďarem!
Jo, mám naplánovaných několik nočních vlaků na tento podzim, tak jsem sám zvědav jaké to bude :-D
@@PeteBrandy Tak to už se těším. A vyjeď někdy i někam mimo Česko a sousedy, třeba na Balkán, do Itálie, Španělska nebo naopak na sever do Skandinávie.
Bezvadné video! Moc povedené! Blahopřeji! Už se těším na příští To pohodlí tohoto lužkového vozu je prozatím jedinečné.
Díky moc! Za mně jsou to aktuálně jedny z nejlepších lůžkových vozů v Evropě :-)
Only one thing is missing, but this is not a travel-kind, instead spottingish something:
switching the coaches at Bohumín station.😎
The Slovakian ones are disappointment for me, the Görlitz-sleeper ones were sold to Hungary.
Very good travel video, I am looking forward for another ones.👍
Thanks so much! Yes, I considered whether I should stay awake until Bohumín, but finally I chose to go to sleep already in Olomouc, because I needed at least 4 hours of sleep .. In addition, on this route it is ideal to fall asleep before Bohumín, because then due to the condition of the track, it is impossible to fall asleep until Katowice :-D
I love a train tour! That key card seemed unique? Is it normal for trains?
Yes, that key card was unique. I tried the key card in the door of another compartment and it wouldn't open. I also asked the car attendant and he confirmed that they are also unique within other cars, i.e. e.g. the key card from car no. 4 cannot be used in car no. 5. Only some types of sleeping cars use key cards, e.g. ÖBB Nightjet WLABmz, MÁV Start (only some types adjusted by CAF), ČD WLABmz and reconstructed WLABmee..
To spací kupé vypadá 100x líp jak v RegioJetu 😂
To každopádně.. to je i tím, že RegioJet používá lehátkové vozy, jen je má přeznačené na lůžkové, takže tam není ani umyvadlo v kupé..
😉😉😉

Hi Pete, nice vlog. New subs here. We will be traveling in Europe next month. I am trying to buy or reserve tickets for Night Train from Prague to Krakow however I am unable to find one. The travel date is Nov. 5, 2023. Where can I book a ticket? Thank you.
Did you use a drone for the overhead shots of Prague station trackage and platforms?
No, this is filmed above the mouth of the Vinohrady tunnels, there is a street above them.
Pěkný! Zkusíš i to nové WLABmz po rekonstrukci?
Díky, pokud myslíš to WLABmee, tak určitě zkusím.. akorát musím ještě počkat, protože ještě stále rotují dva nerekonstruované vozy a při mém štěstí by zrovna jeden z nich jel :-D
@@PeteBrandy Poslední dobou potkávám celkem pravidelně to nové na IC Metropol, takže bych to risknul
@@jirivalenta6382 Jo, ale pokud se na Budapešť točí 3 vozy a jeden je stále ten původní, tak je to pořád risk.. to chce počkat, až odešlou i ty poslední dva rekonstrukci
It's fantastic thing to be within Shengen zone 😀
@@jkpakosz6698 true
Please flying Bmi regional Munich to rotterdam
Ahoj uděláš někdy video z Nočním vlakem z Záhřebu do Zurichu?
Ahoj, určitě ano, ten vlak je velmi zajímavý 😎
@@PeteBrandy diky za odpověď Těším se na to
13:40 were there any people in this car? "Book a seat in a seating car in Chopin from Prague - be the only one in this car" Quite spooky...
From what I could see, 3 or 4 compartments were occupied, but closer to the next seating car. On weekdays, there is not much seating car occupancy, but on weekends, 80% of the compartments are reserved. Otherwise, the seating cars on this train are mostly used in shorter domestic sections and the most passengers usually takes the ZSSK open plan coach.
Mohl bys natočit slovenské ic
Mám v plánu na trase Wien - Košice :-)
Ahoj pete mám 1 otázku. Proč točíš videa v angličtine? Hi Pete, I have 1 question. Why do you make videos in English?
Ahoj. Je to z důvodu, že více než 80% diváků mám ze zahraničí .. It's because more than 80% of my audience is from abroad
en Slovakia je má oblíbená
Moje taky, ale ještě bych chtěl někdy zkusit tu část do Košic :-)
Čau
čau 😎
a box for the breakfast without any choice 🙁 MAV service is better.
I think it is already possible to choose breakfast on some ČD night trains (I saw the order form on the EuroNight from Budapest to Prague) and probably on the train to Zurich (I will try it soon). Otherwise, I have no experience with MÁV yet, but I also plan to try it soon. But overall, ČD has a better breakfast box than, for example, PKP or ZSSK.
