Thanks for watching!

7:00 I had no idea that MAV still had coaches in that livery (blue with orange doors). I thought it disappeared in the 90's

[@CalinFR]

These cars are the latest ones to be refurbished from CD. The unfortunate thing is that I found the beds to be super uncomfortable. How did you sleep on that rock hard mattress?

[@Europe-By-Train]

Actually, I find these (WLABmee units) quite comfortable :D, more than the WLABmz on the Prague-Zurich route.

[@CalinFR]

@@Europe-By-Train interesting. When you say comfortable you're referring to overall experience or softness of the bed? I never tried WLABmz so I cannot really compare the two

[@Europe-By-Train]

@CalinFR The bed mostly. I sleep better on those, but the 6 hours long break might also help :). But overall experience is good, more sockets, better lighting, more spacious shared shower. I was recently on WLABmz to Zurich, the bed feels to be harder. And also, the compartments are kind of smaller. Deluxe compartment felt a bit claustrophobic due to a shower in it, and also the standard units next to Deluxe are made a bit smaller to give more space to Deluxe.

When you get the company of a young Hungarian lady the bed quality doesn't matter 😂😂😂

How did you book this train? Which website please? I’m having a hard time finding the website to book the same train for August. Thanks in advance!

[@Europe-By-Train]

Hello, I booked it on cd.cz, but I think you are trying to early. Ticket purchase seems to be possible only 90 days in advance. Today I see tickets only until 11th August.

What's the most scenic train thus far?

[@Europe-By-Train]

From my ones Belgrade to Bar.

hi i need help, id like to go to Budapest but use only 2nd class. is it in EN 477 or 2nd classes end up in Břeclav?

[@Europe-By-Train]

Hi, if you mean 2nd class in a seating carriage, then there is no direct one from Prague to Budapest, but there are seating carriages from Prague to Breclav as IC577 (part of this train), and then several seating carriages being connected in Breclav from other directions to this train - 1 Hungarian from Berlin, one Polish one from Warsaw and 2 more Hungarian ones from Breclav. Part from Prague gets to Breclav after 1am, and then in a new set up, train leaves before 5am. I never tried, but you might be able to buy the seats separately either from PKP or MAV. Also the waiting time is smaller - the one from Warsaw arrives at 3:38 to Breclav. Possible, but not ideal.

When did you film that trip ?

[@Europe-By-Train]

At the end of February.
