I join to the group of Hungarians who highly appreciate your great effort to pronounce our words quite well! Your train videos are absolutely great and informative and I simply love them. And the fact that you managed to say our difficult names (in almost every case) right makes them more trustworthy-you really care what you give! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! 😍
@@SuperalbsTravels It's our honor. Sir!
When the GySEV/Raaberbahn was built, it was nearly completely in Hungary (only Ebenfurt was a border town in Lower Austria) when it was a part of Austria-Hungary. After WWI a part of Western Hungary was transferred to Austria, so suddenly the GySEV/Raaberbahn was situated in two different countries.
Also worth noting is that GySEV continuously kept operating cross-border services even during the cold war. Despite communism it continued to be a semi-private company as to not lose access to the Austrian rail network.
@@stephanweinberger To this day, it is a private company. The Hungarian state does not own any shares.
As a Hungarian train-lover, I really enjoyed this video.
Pronounciation is a good attempt. Sopron is also called Civitas Fidelissima as the majority voted to stay in Hungary after the border arrangements of the Trianon Treaty (that is conculding the end of WWI from the part of Hungary)
Good review
As an austrian myself I would be really interested on your ÖBB Railjet and also if possible on the old ÖBB EuroCity and InterCity services as they are slowly being replaced
Really nice video that strengthens my desire to travel a lot more in Hungary! Perhaps someday… I for one also appreciate your willingness to attempt proper pronunciations of local place names.
I DEFINITELY would like a review of ÖBB’s RailJet-my hands-down favorite continental European train! Keep up the good work.
You should! The rail system may not be Dutch or Swiss quality but it is definitely well polished and improving by the day! In addition the country has loads of buses interconnecting far reaches of the country not served by rail. So travelling around is really easy!
GYSEV Flirts are really nice way of commuting. I am a local in Western Hungary. I take the train from Fertőszentmiklós (which is also a junction, trains departs from here to Neusiedler am See and some direct ones to Vienna) to Csorna and Sopron, you can't beat the train. The track is 120 km/h in the most part. If you want to experience some retro fashion you should also try the old Austrian DMU-s in GYSEV livery in Szombathely to Kőszeg. A weak point in GYSEV operation is the Raabercity branded nightmare ex-OBB intercity coaches, try to avoid those. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work
I did your exact same journey but in reverse just 2 days ago on an Interrail ticket. I found the train to be very comfortable with good views of the countryside.
Honestly speaking, trains in the western part of Hungary are simply unbeatable. Very good track conditions. But if you go towards Szolnok... that is a real pain in the @ss. That is an international main line, but trains at some points rarely go faster than 40 kph due to the sickening tracks.
I hope it gets better soon, especially as an important international connection serving many countries.
It is very pleasant to travel in Austria at this time of the year
The quality of your videos are excellent and the proper pronounciations are mind-blowing for me. Thank you for putting this much effort to your videos. Also I would really like to see your opinion of the new, hungarian build InterCity Plus coaches which are running daily now. Maybe someday you will have a wonderful experience on hungarian railway lines as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, I really appreciate your comment! I've had my eyes on the MÁV IC+ carriages ever since the concept art was first shown, but hope to travel on them in a few months. :)
Wow..my hometown. I have travelled on this route so many times! Was great to see it through your eyes.
What a very smart looking regional train - thanks for the enjoyabe review.
Thanks for watching!
Fertőszentmiklós station is under reconstruction.Two elevated platforms are being built.
You produce the most sophisticated train videos on CZcams! Well done.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Even though I don't get to travel by train as much as I would like to, it's always interesting to hear the experience of others who make those journeys, like you good self. Best wishes and happy travels.
awesome capture my friend....gr8 capture!!!..nice job.....greetings
Great trip report
got a hungarian friend, always interesting to see the railways he talks about more closely with my "own eyes". Great vid!
Well done. You have a nice mix of information; the practicalities of taking this train and what to expect onboard, and dabs of info on the history and economies of the regions passing by. You prompted me to look into the history of Csorna and I learned something.
Amazing video! As a Hungarian/Canadian railfan, this video contained a lot of amazing information! I’ve never actually been on GySEV but I would love to some day as I discover the western regions of the country. I appreciate your attempt at pronouncing the location names as they are pronounced instead of just blatantly butchering them.
I also would love to add some cool quick facts.
Sopron is often touted as the most patriotic city in Hungary, as after the signing of the Treaty of Trianon (the devising of the Hungarian empire to other surrounding nations) Sopron was given the choice to either join Austria or remain apart of Hungary. And they chose the later.
The narrow gauge railway is one of 26 narrow gauge railways currently operating in Hungary! There used to be many more historically including some that spans impressive distances. Many of these railways started out as mining and forestry railways however are now mainly tourist attractions and museums, although historically some were also used for passenger transport as well!
Thanks for the comment! I'd love to try some of the narrow gauge lines.
@@SuperalbsTravels A good starting point would be the Széchenyi Children’s Railway in Budapest! It’s been operating from the 40’s and is the worlds longest railway operated almost entirely by children. Apart from the operation and maintenance of the railway and locomotives, kids do everything!
Quality video and pronunciation - as usual. Love it!
These trains are so nice and very smooth. I do like your videos. Keep up the good work 😊
Great video. It sounds like you are fluent in Hungarian. Half of my ancestry is Hungarian. I heard the language S a kid growing up in the 50s. I would love to see Hungary sometime. Can't wait for the food and pastries!
It doesn't sound like he's fluent in Hungarian... But he did try, which is sweet.
It's a reason to why the company has a German name it has to do with an old Austria Hungary era name for the Railway company itself Pretty much the entire of Hungary can use it's Austria Hungary era German map name places. So is the MAV Hungarian Railways
I like the bin under the table, would be useful on UK trains.
Nice video!
I would love a video on Railjet
Great video! If you feel like depriving yourself of any enjoyment in life, you should try the Hungarian Interpici trains owned by Mav-Start. A route like Nyiregyhaza to Vasarosnameny lasts about an hour, and it is absolutely unbearable. but the tickets cost barely anything! so if you could one day review these 1980's time machines that would make for a great video idea :)
As a Hungarian, I loved your video, you are giving me a good review from this flirt, because I couldn't travel with it yet. Great video!
Do the Railjet. TY in advance.
Nice ride!
Good review! 👍
01:09 Do your patrons get to see a version of this video with uncensored art? 🖼😂
You should definitely review the RailJet. I tried their first class back in 2012 and was really impressed. 😁
That train has a magnificent yellow
Great video! I would highly appreciate you trying some other hungarian trains, like standard IC or IC1+ trains
I'm up for vids on their long dist services & Railjet..
Great trip. The train colour remind me about Jamaican Flag. Yes, you should make Railjet Trip.
Hi. I really like the livery on this train. The interior is so much better than on the train shown by your fellow travelogist NonStop Eurotrip in Slovakia.
these trains also run from Vienna to Bratislava
Travelogist, love it 🤩
@@budapestkeleti6404 Azért említsd meg, hogy az a Ventus. :D
I want to see the long distance trains vids if it's possible
I travelled by this train this monday between vienna and bratislava!
Awesome! Did you enjoy it?
@@SuperalbsTravels was quite impressed by the quality ngl. It was also very empty so i had the whole compartment for myself
@@lojspodkrinko7386 Certainly not with this one. The one you traveled with was the Austrian Gysev "Ventus" EMU train. This type (435) does not operate in Austria.
@@1967628108 my bad, it reall looked nearly identical
Would ❤️ a presentation of OBB Railjet First Class long distance. 😉👍🏻. I have to compliment you on your pronouncing difficult city names. How many languages/which ones do you speak other than English?
You forgot to elaborate on the history of the company. And I'd be actually interested in that narrow gauge Széchényi rails.
Nice video, now you should get back to the netherlands and take a ride in their new ICNG (interCity Next Generation.)
Are you planning on making a video about máv (the main operator of hungarian trains) because they have some interesting retro trains and by that i don’t mean trains that aren’t a regurarily operated trains i mean the almost 61 year old v43 train that’s the most frequently operated loco in hungary
Perfect review video!
I like your any other videos! 🙂
Can I suggest to you very romantic railway in North Hungary?
Please visit railway line number 78 (Aszód- Balassagyarmat) for return journey please use the number 75 railway line (Balassagyarmat - Vác).
I guarantee you will have an enjoyable day! 🙂😉
You commented on the trains having accessible toilets but didn’t comment on disabled access generally for travellers in the stations
As a Hungarian the pronounciation is so funny
Good video - actually the name Csorna means black only in slavic laguages, but not in Hungarian. There are multiple theories on the origins of the name, one of them is that it comes from the slavic "Black" others are different, but anyway the name was first mentioned in writing back in 1226.
That's interesting! Thanks for the information.
Hello! Csorna does not mean black, it'd be Fekete. Looked around, and it may be from a southern slav word, but Hungary is not slavic. Just a tip on local pronouncaiton: Sz is s, and s is sh. You are very good in names!
are the screens actually flickering so much or is it the camera?
That's a camera problem!
@@SuperalbsTravels 👍
Oh yeah, these plastic bananas with bogies are everywhere in West-Hungary.
I don't know why, but the seats never felt uncomfortable to me, although I don't usually care about the seat under my arse.
Edit: I like them :-)
Type 435.5, because its GySev, not MAV.
Ah yeah, it does seem like most GySEV stuff has the .5 suffix! :)
@@SuperalbsTravels 435.0 MAV, 435.5 GySev.
@@marcinklimas2670 What 435.0? There is no such thing. :D
I'm a simple Polish guy, I see Hungary I click
Do we want to see a video on the Railjet? What you really mean is that you want an excuse for another East European holiday 🙂. By all means, go ahead.
Subtitles?
You're not gonna believe it! 😂
I added them and forgot to publish them. Should be sorted now.
@@SuperalbsTravels lol no worries
@@SuperalbsTravels thank u for adding them
@@Zuuu40 No problem, I will try and be more attentive for next time! 😂
Yes interiors maybe not be garish but certainly hungarish! 😄
Great pun! 🤣🤣
Glad you liked it. Keep up with the good work your videos are of tremendous interest.
They and shall they...
hungary has for sure the best commuter trains i've seen, in stockholm you don't even get to use a restroom or a plug socket(on most trains)
They look OK but just a little on the plain side.
Second
Very clean train. Have free use of all public transport in Hungary but zero interest in going there. No, I have used Railjet already so no need for a video. Great experience, though.
It's funny when you try to pronounce Hungarian names.😂🤣
Hopefully well enough? 😅
@@SuperalbsTravels Hungarian names are very difficult to pronounce
@@SuperalbsTravels Just remember, that "s" is pronounced 'sh' and "sz" is pronounced 's'
@@czonczike630 Thank you! :)
@@SuperalbsTravels gy is more similar to the consonant in the words due, during, dual
