Great! Those formats are the best-no talking, just sounds from the train, announcements, and nature.

[@Europe-By-Train]

Glad you like those :)

This is so cool, we are planning to use this train in September so it was really helpful to see 😊 thank you.

[@Europe-By-Train]

Glad to hear! Enjoy your trip 😊

Very nice video! I do also like to travel by train in Hungary, it has a very special vibe :D

[@Europe-By-Train]

Thank you. It does :D With restaurant carriage, it would be just perfect.

5:10 - this train car looks like a 1990s german (DB) car - even the interior looks like back then (instant childhood memories) with the blue entrance walls/seats and the red doors

[@Europe-By-Train]

Ex DB. It actually might be the exact one you rode in your childhood :)

[@ananth9373]

very scenic indeed!!

[@janezr6334]

From Celje to Zidani most the railroad is following river Savinja ( 17:31 ) and from Zidani most to Ljubljana river Sava

Correction note added to the video. Thank you.

Muy buen reportaje

[@trainsandmodelshungary]

Really enjoyed it, thanks! :) yeah Dèli is in poor condition but after some public shaming in the media the government finally decided to do some touch-ups. The station is usually a hot topic cos many gov officials want to close it, but civil groups (n the general public) insist on it cos of its location n cos the other two main stations already can’t handle the current traffic well. Hungarian government officials like to twiddle their thumbs in train topics, so I don’t expect big positive steps in the near future, but I trust the public’s power 😀

Thanks for the feedback and additional info :) I've heard about plans to connect Nyugati and Deli during the major re-work at Nyugati, and then close Deli. Is it realistic, or just a futuristic vision?

[@Jenci]

@@Europe-By-Train Just a futuristic vision. Although it'll be enormous budget project for connecting tunnelling rail each other Déli, Nyugati and lastly Keleti. These plan will have a far away from realistic because of the Metro 4 didn't have a budget enough to reach goal so they had to cut down Budaörs and Újpest to Kelenföld Station and Keleti Station. (If I remember correctly)

Such a shame the dining car was discontinued on this service (or maybe it just wasn't on that day for some reason?). I took this train back in 2017 and the Hungarian dining car was great with Paprika Chicken and Gnocchi that went down nicely with a Soproni beer. Budapest Deli doesn't look to have changed one bit LOL

[@simonc5624]

Also cool to see one of the old green-liveried and soon to be retired Type 711 DMUs Of Slovenian Railways at Ormož.

[@Europe-By-Train]

Lucky you :) Dining car was discontinued since 2018.

[@simonc5624]

@@Europe-By-Train Such a shame 😥

[@yagi3925]

Is Bp's South (Déli) station still open? As you point out, it's in poor condition and to the best of my knowledge it's been closed down for several months for major refurbishment works.

[@Europe-By-Train]

To my knowledge, the station still open, but was closed now in April for some weekends for track maintenance.

[@laurentfaurite9199]

I arrived on the night train from Ljubljana on August, 3rd 2024 in Déli.

is this train make any profits? its looks so empty through out the jporney..?

[@Europe-By-Train]

It was actually packed in Hungary until the border with Slovenia. Train got full on the next stop in Budapest. Probably busier in the season :)

[@jetcrazy7773]

@@Europe-By-Train oh really you canno tsee much from the crowd in the video. thnaks for your kind comment.

[@simonc5624]

@@Europe-By-Train eah I took this one a few years ago and the domestic part was pretty full but even into Slovenia wasn't empty. Also the other EC I took, this time from Keleti, up to Kosice last year was again well patronised from Budapest gradually emptying out as we moved north-west through Hungary and was pretty empty after we crossed the border into Slovakia and made it to Kosice.

[@videomaraton1806]

was it border control?

[@Europe-By-Train]

Nope, both countries are in Europe's Schengen area.

[@robertnagy6125]

The Déli pályaudvar is one of Budapest's disgraces.
