Prague to Vienna onboard the Czech Railjet

[@SimplyRailway]

If you were the person that spotted my arrival in Vienna Hbf please comment that I can give you proper credit 🙏

[@dragoner3211]

Some few notes, I don't know if you noticed but you we're diverted from Prague central station and went via Praha-Malešice and not Praha-Libeň, this usually happens due to either low capacity or extraordinary event in the tunnels. At 9:00 you are incorrect about the dining car, as It's usually marked as Bistro and therefore has limited variety of food available on board, same thing goes with Pendolino trains. That's probably all I can think about pointing out in the video, as usual, nice review. Hopefully you will try the Pendolino sometime.

I was I watched your video today!

Thanks for the video from my home country 🇨🇿!

The Czech Railjet trip from Prague to Vienna was really nice and a great window view outside it looked like a good ride to me take care and thank you.🇦🇹🚈🚋🚋🇦🇹

[@vasek2261]

I love the ČD Pendolino, but the Railjet is great too. Railjet means consistency. Every time, when I see a Railjet it will be great trip.

[@DyvsonCZ]

Good video i from Czech Republic 🇨🇿

[@vyashtuijnman6417]

The Railjet is my all-time favourite train even though I've never been on it: It combines the modern sleek looks of a high speed train with the elegance of locomotive-pulled trains. Even though I like the ÖBB-livery the most, the Czech one looks pretty nice as well

[@kensukefan47]

It's uncomfortable af. If you got the chance, use IC/EC trains.

[@Turtle1631991]

Austrian ones have subpar restaurant car compared to the czech ones.

[@robertheinrich2994]

thanks for showing the other end of the station. I usually use that train on the austrian side, and might visit prague at some time, just to learn about it. especially, since I like to photograph, and prague seems to be beautiful.... thanks honest guide ;-)

[@geoedov2964]

Thanks for the video. I am not excited about seeing the toilet (WC), but glad you do show it. If the WC is clean and well stocked, the train will be the same. Please keep showing WC as they quickly tell us how well the training is cleaned and maintained. 😊

[@ВиталийБойко-з5й]

I took the railjet from Prague to Vienna last year, the ride was smooth and lovely

[@jonathangat4765]

I'm with you. I think RailJet is the best InterCity experience anywhere.

[@kensukefan47]

No?

[@Trains_Adventures_CZ]

Pěkné video, like 😀

[@austriankangaroo]

15:30 that is the Simmering (a part of vienna) shop, not semmering (the mountain pass)

[@avatar_auxbourgh2010]

ja du kannst bei der Anzeigetafel sehen dass der Zug über Mürzzuschlag faärt auf 13:20

[@austriankangaroo]

@@avatar_auxbourgh2010 ja aber was hat das mit dem kommentar zu tun

[@to_loww]

Some later ÖBB Railjets (delivered around 2015) have a similar composition to the Czech ones. You'll find them mainly on routes to Italy. They also have reclinable seats in economy.

[@brigittelintner3336]

I totally agree and take that train quite often! One tipre the main train station: close to the Fantova kavarna on the upper level, there is another Cafe called Foyer Cafe ( I think) VERY nice, very good coffee and parties ( a bit pricey but worth it) and much more quiet - therefore very pleasant!

[@amtrakharry]

Another Excellent Video..... I love your little diagrams showing us all those little things we wouldn't know other wise......:):):)

[@philippenaluna2312]

Good of you to 'Czech' this Railjet offering out, Thibault!! Thanks!

[@MartinBrez]

I took the CD Railjet from Vienna to Prague last year (July 2023) It's an amazing train. 14 Euros and a cheap dining car (In Czech Republic). Great in 2nd class. I took the ÖBB version from Vienna to Budapest in 2017. Also, very good train. I preferred the Czech version. I liked that on Czech Railjet, prices were cheaper than Austria once in Czech Republic.

[@chrismv102]

Another excellent trip.

[@scottyerkes1867]

Nice ride. Dining car service and trolley service!! Seat seemed snall but at least comfortable. Thank you Thibaukt🥰👌👍

[@ferroviestazioni]

🎉Nice video🎉🎉🎉

[@sunaryonoyono3794]

Nice , Whoosh Whoosh ,,,,, Yesssssssssssss , great video 👍 .

[@pnwlion9337]

Love the dining experience, sitting here in a coffee shop in Florida I would do that journey in a heartbeat. Must get my Amtrak fix 😊

[@olasola1013]

The comfortjet will also be the rolling stock on the Hamburg-Budapest and Prague-Copenhagen route, along more.

[@santiagogalvez8947]

La primera vez que hice el trayecto de Viena a Praga fue en enero de 1996. Es increible que aun tengáis trenes tan lentos que van a un promedio de 100 kms/hr en una planicie!

[@robyoungquist5803]

Lovely review Thiabault 😉👍🏻. The only difference for me is that I’d be in Business/First because economy is just too many people crammed in/standing for me to feel comfortable 🫤😊

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. As great as Austrian Counterparts, but it more dense.

[@Abnerbandanovotempoinscrito1mi]

Boa noite simplys boa viagem lindo trem

[@erwinmeeuwenoord6015]

Nice video again. I personally was annoyed the time I took this train I had no seat in first class, dispite having a valid ticket. Yes, now I know you need to reserve your seat to ensure yourself, back then I simply couldn't. In all i'm more a fan of the Austrian one because of more first class capacity 😊

[@Freddsche]

Oh dear...Wiener Schnitzel in a Czech train. I would only go for the Bohemian Knedleky meals with an Urquell or Budvar 🤣😉

[@Charlizzie]

Ahhh, another Railjet video by Thibs!

[@czechmatebro]

The RailJet to Ostrava Airport is a special train for NATO days.

[@MaxPower_-pq5ty]

ahaha 15:12 i used to live nearby that spot (that is right before the border to Vienna between Deutsch Wagram and Vienna Süssenbrunn [where the train actually diverts just before that station]; the bridge is over the S1 highway)

[@AgentSkelly]

The button thing is funny, I’ve met a Siemens Mobility engineer and he said they prefer buttons as they are more reliable and easy to replace. However, when had someone who came from Mercedes on the team, that person tried to pitch sensors and even Bosch who supplied them didn’t recommend them in trains!

[@Matt-sz5po]

We dont say apfelschorle in Austria😅 And the technischer Service just before Vienna is not Semmering (thats the montain range between vienna and Graz with the most beautiful train ride), it is called Simmering (a district in vienna)

[@RasiAdventures]

To describe what was shown as "Wiener Schnitzel" is more than daring. 😂😂

[@petrkrejci8130]

Funny, that departure from Prague was in the exact opposite direction :-)

[@Benjamin0c]

CD RJ livery is the most beautiful

[@szymex22]

From December there will be 4x a day connections Gdansk - Poznan - Wroclaw - Prague But probably with normal EC wagons

[@samtrak1204]

Would compulsory reservation eliminate standees and passengers sitting on floor? This reminds me of Amtrak between New York and DC before trains went reserved.

[@slanin]

Hi, i like this video❤. Just one thing , the ČD LOUNGE is accesible not for first class ticket, if you hsve seat resevation for IC,EC,SC or rj, you can go there

[@petitbogie]

Indeed, an almost perfect train. In the end, the biggest flaw is capacity... it would be great to be able to have double trains, but I don't know if the ČDs have the capacity, and if it's feasible for the length of the platforms in some stations.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Nice one thibault, better watch your calorie intake don’t want you having to purchase two seats to travel 😊

[@CalinFR]

Is this the Vindobona?

[@olasola1013]

Yes.

[@sheilaathay2034]

❤🎉

[@samtrak1204]

Would mandatory reservations eliminate standees and passengers sitting on floor? This reminds me of Amtrak between New York and DC before trains went reserved.

[@damcoentertainment3956]

Nothing wrong with standees. They should've paid a little bit extra for a reserved seat. Also, having a train without mandatory reservations is more flexible and efficient.

[@YTnightspotter]

Amtrak should buy the viaggo coaches as a 2nd fleet of Siemens coaches they are really new and aerodynamic and may have the capability to go at a much higher speed

[@LeCorbeauMajestueux]

Bravo pour la vidéo. Mais pour se rendre à Vienne en Train, on peut prendre Czech Raijet ou OBB, laquelle conseilles tu ? Merci à toi En effet, je pars a Prague en Novembre et fait un détour par Vienne puis Brastilava, mais quelle compagnie prendre ?

[@TuneTamasha]

The different composition makse sense as not that many people here can afford the first class. Despite that, 2nd class is often full. Im on it often and its great. Try 1st class sometimes.

[@flavfrei]

Hello! Nice video, im doing the exact same trip as you and I have one connection in Breclav. Did you also have to change trains when you got there? Or this was a direct train? If you have a connection, is it simple?

[@barvdw]

I'll say something controversial, I prefer the Czech Railjet to the Austrian one. I love the red, but find the interior a little too dark to my taste. And as you pointed out, the food options are better. But admittedly, I'll miss the compartment cars, which are often less noisy IMO to the open plan coaches that have come into fashion even for longer distance trains.

[@mikeschumacher]

I wonder if the controversy was about the First/Business class car as that is definitely a different setup than ÖBB, or instead it was something about the contract and/or financing. You really can't pass up the CD Restaurant though, especially with the "Happy Hour" pricing when the train is in the Czech Republic. I think the food CD offers is better than ÖBB, which is still pretty good. Have heard PKP serves equally as good food as CD!

[@alexandredubie1772]

You cannot go to Prague Main Station and skip the reproduction of the station made of Lego! 😁

[@tkmushroomer]

11:19 RIP Svíčková 😩🙏

[@petrail_hu]

3:47 ÖBB has RailJet trains like ČD (which does not have a full first class carriage). I think ÖBB has 9.

[@Franjo5000]

Yes, those can operate to Italy.

[@sobrecarris]

Come to Portugal ❤

[@charlesjw2]

Did you not lose your seat when you went for lunch Thibault?

[@mattkane5468]

It's a shame trainsheds aren't anywhere near as common in the US as they are in Europe. I believe one of the only ones here on a mainline station is in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

[@ClamENZPlayz]

CZECH!!!!

[@to_loww]

Mate!

[@samtrak1204]

I saw a video a couple of years ago that showed the Hamburg-Berlin-Prague train with a full length dining car and white table cloths. This doesn't look like it.

[@damcoentertainment3956]

This is not that train.

[@paulhurst7748]

Did you ever think about an English translation of your book?

[@ringo7561]

Is this same train that goes Prague to Berlin? Railjet? Czech

[@vaclavblazek]

Apart from snack cart in economy (2nd) class and the restaurant car in-dining, in first and business class you get served at your place. So you do not need to go to the restaurant car.

[@Jorge-tl8sg]

Its just so sad that the restaurants of the new Euro City trains from ceske drahy are so ugly compared to the old ones: no little lamp on the desk, no curtains, no white tablecloths... Well maybe we have to be happy that they at least still have board restaurants with very good food :/

[@ringo7561]

I like Railjet Austria better. The business class is dope.

[@grandprixie]

Can I get a reply ?❤

[@Greek.Football.N3ws]

Come to Greece 🇬🇷. Florine-Thessaloniki is very good. Stations is old and the view is fantastic. The train is very small but the view is amazing.

[@jirivalenta6382]

4:44 Not true at all, I live on this route and travel with these a lot and it isn't true at all that they are always crowded. Only in a peak time and on fridays or holidays. Normally the second class is pretty empty. The EC Metropolitan train, which operates on the same line is much more crowded

[@samtrak1204]

Railjet economy looks cramped.

[@samtrak1204]

Railjet looks really dirty arriving at Vienna station. It's obvious it hadn't been through car wash at inital terminal.

[@kralicidoupe385]

Řízek > schnitzel

[@MarwiX_CZ]

I think the Austrian railjet is better than Czech...

[@joeterra.t]

Note to self: don't take this train in the summer or when high on acid.

[@kensukefan47]

Railjets are terrible, IC/ECs are better

[@pcwifi9544]

Czechia is an ugly and shameful label invented and enforced by politicians, not ordinary people. also has in the title: Prague to Vienna onboard the Czech Railjet, not Czechia Railjet ! and finally try to make videos in 50-60fps. 🙃

[@SimplyRailway]

Videos are recorded in 60fps since 2018

[@AlenaGorlova]

Thank you for the video. Question: how do you reserve a seat? 💺 or is that available only couple days before the trip? I wanted to buy the ticket months in advance but don’t see option for seat reservations Is there a ‘layover’ and you have to get off one train and get onto another or it is direct trip from Prague to Vienna?

[@bernardbouzon5499]

Est-ce que vous allez tester les nouvelles rames Tchèques ?

[@bernardbouzon5499]

Est-ce que l'happy hour existe toujours ?

C'est la même chose entre Wien et Budapest
