Noel said Soviet so many times that I almost thought I was watching Bald And Bankrupt. His hairstyle added to the confusion.

If you say three times "soviet" into a mirror, Mr. Bald and bankrupt appears.

[@DS6422224]

The carrriage is called "Ammendorf", an absolute classic! More than 30000 were build at VEB Waggonbau Ammendorf in Eastern Gemrany for Soviet Railways, and they still can be found running in all of ex-USSR countries. This one received only a few cosmetic changes, even the original signs in Russian can be seen like "Press pedal to flush the water" or "Cold and hot water pipes stop-cocks locations"

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeblatzheim2797]

I was about to say, I'm pretty sure these are Ammendorf coaches and therefore technically not Soviet.

I’m actually more impressed with the trains than the flights. Not normally a train guy but there is something nostalgic with sleeper trains. As an Australian I’d love to invite you Noel to check out our two sleeper trains. The Ghan that goes from north to south of the continent and the Indian Pacific that goes from East (Pacific ocean) to West (Indian ocean). Both train journeys go over numerous days and nights. Both have 5 star sleeper and 5 star dining car options. Definitely worth the experience.

[@FTFLCY]

This brings back memories. We did the overnight sleeper from Budapest to Bucharest about 7 years ago. I couldn't figure how the journey took so long on the timetable, but as the ancient train never exceeded 30mph the whole way I soon realised. No chance of actual sleeping (party of 4, each with our own compartment) as how the train managed to stay on the tracks I will never know. Dinner was served by a young man who kept bringing bottles of red wine, and helped us drink them. It all got very drunken, but at least I could smoke in this no smoking carriage. Signs everywhere, but ashtrays on the tables! In the morning, at "breakfast" we found our young waiter asleep on the floor under a blanket. He reluctantly arose to serve us. My partner was very brave and ordered an omelette. It arrived looking disgusting. "What's in it?" I asked. "Eggshell mainly" he said. Marvelous views of the Carpathians though.

[@jonasdatlas4668]

i’ve taken that same train and now feel like i massively missed out lol, it was a fairly average experience as sleeper trains go, tho the rolling stock was kinda nostalgic

I love your work Noel, as someone who was in the travel business for decades, I travel 'virtually' with you everywhere. Just one small suggestion though: instead of sticking with the all-pervasive Western fast food outlets in the wonderful places you visit, why not try the local food in each place? Great opportunity for interaction with fellow travellers and locals, colourful content (entertaining whether you like what you're eating or not..!!), and a chance to broaden your culinary horizons and benefit the local economy! Just a thought...

My dad was a train driver here in the UK. He went on the sleeper train from Scotland to London (as a railway employee we get very reduced rates) and he complained that the driver was using the straight air brake and this made for an uncomfortable ride.

[@jonnysmorrison]

On CS, you’ve got to make sure you’re as close to the middle of the carriage as you can be if you’re a lighter sleeper. It’s much quieter and a bit smoother. Also, you’ll get a better night’s sleep on the highlander going northbound, as you start the journey on the smoother west coast mainline, compared to trying to get to sleep on the jointed tracks of the highlands. After a few times I’m quite used to it, and sleep well now ☺️

[@EREJones]

That's night trains for you! I've been fortunate enough to do quite a few now - mostly in Eastern Europe but sometimes in Scandinavia - and I absolutely love them. Something about the repetitive clunking and the slight swaying gets me (often an insomniac) to sleep in minutes. And I love being able to lie down and look out of the window while I'm reading. I hope you have a better experience with them in future - they're so much less stressful usually and I genuinely think there's something magical and old-fashioned (but in a good way) about a night train

[@jfmezei]

Quite susprised that a "first" class sleeper wouln't have actual beds. Those carriages likely built in east Germany and woulld have featured proper fold down beds for a very long time. On your ride: the guy "unplugging" the bogies would mean you're right above it at one end of carriage would explain the rougher ride and higher noise vs if you had been in middle of carriage. (but that is because of poor track conditions to begin with). Restaurants rarely make it across track gauge change because they have generators attached to bogies so bogies too hard to swap.

[@olivethrush7450]

If you want the real deal with changing bogies take the Train from Hook of Holland to Moscow, change bogies in the middle of the night at Minsk. Change trains in Moscow for Trans Sib to Beijing. Change bogies back to standard guage in the middle of the night on Mongolian/Sino border but this time accompanied to Chinese martial music and flashing lights. The common denominator being you always change bogies in the middle of the night. It's what they do! Great series. thanks

Nope, this train is a curious relic in Romania as well. CFM (Moldovan Railways) can't afford a new gauge changing station in Ungheni (MD), and without a new gauge changing station, they can't make use of more modern rolling stock - so they have to stick to these carriages. They're actually not that old, built sometimes in the 1980s, but based on an ancient design from the '50s. You'll find similar carriages on more rural cross border routes in Ukraine and Belarus for the same reason - lack of money form modern gauge changing equipment. The Romanian railway doesn't really like the situation - these old Moldovan carriages are speed-limited to a "whopping" 100 km/h, making the run slower than any other train on the Bucharest - Iasi route (that's signalled for 120-140 km/h for long distances). But the Moldovans own the train, and Romania doesn't have any gauge changing stations anyway so nothing CFR or any other Romanian operator (also operating on shoestring budgets) could do...
