So glad you liked the night trains in my home country!

[@Kamen4o09]

Yep

[@UnnormaI]

Glad your country gave the german IC coaches a new home. I really like them.

[@senorsoupe]

@@UnnormaI I was just in Bulgaria and we were in the old DB IC coaches from Sofia to Plovdiv and they were in decent condition. A definite upgrade over the old East German rolling stock still used on other intercity routes

Happy you liked sleeper trains in my country!

Well done and covered Video mate, once again. Appreciate your effort and really feel your passion in it! Keep going!

What a gorgeous purplish sunrise in Burgas!

[@ricksipes2026]

like the graphic showing your movement thru the train. nice additon

[@SimplyRailway]

Glad you like it

Great video !!

[@robertjewell6146]

Your comment about wishing for a delay for a later arrival matches mine when I take Amtrak's Sunset Limited into Los Angeles. Scheduled arrival is 0530. I'm actually glad for a delayed arrival. But not five hours, as on two occasions. Didn't hurt me because I wasn't going out until the next day, but several passengers were booked on the same-day Coast Starlight, and had to be bussed all day to catch up with their train. Ugh.

I'm impressed by the train station in Sofia. Looks modern and decent. Looking forward to the modernisation of Bucharest North in a couple of years

[@ganz3995]

The Sofia station itself looks pretty good, but the area in front of it (square and pedestrian underpasses) is terrible. There is a project to entirely transform the area, really hope to see it materialize.

[@ganz3995]

The Sofia-Burgas line is currently being rebuilt for a speed of 160 km/h. When it's finally complete around 2027 this night train will likely become obsolete as the whole distance will be covered in around 3.5 to 4 hours.

[@King-Pumpkin32]

I miss the English captions in the video, can you add them back from the next video on??

[@RomaniaBallYT_Arsel]

Yeah fr

[@ImpureForce]

There are captions, enable CC. They are simply an add-on now instead of applied in the edit.

[@SimplyRailway]

It's here. You just need to add the closed caption

[@RomaniaBallYT_Arsel]

@@SimplyRailway yeah but it's kinda blocking a bit of the video because of the black in the cc

[@gizemlikisi6213]

could you try sofia varna train with the new german wagons?

[@gideondark]

Yes please!!

[@AntenneQC]

J'ai eu peur que ce soient des toilettes turques ! Mais finalement, c'est parfait. Bravo aux chemins de fer bulgares qui montrent l'exemple dans dans les Balkans... de quoi inspirer les voisins. Par contre, en Europe occidentale, il y a OBB Nightjet qui doit être au dessus d'un point de vue confort et qualité du service il me semble ?

[@estqwerty]

can not belive it - its nice that you arrived alive. read some bulgarian train news.

[@ivanarnaudov294]

👌🇧🇬✌️

[@rogertemple7193]

The night trains in Bulgaria definitely are great thanks. 🚂🚃🚃🇧🇬

[@pronosticosdeportivos9517]

There are trains from Belgrade to Sofia? I'm planning a trip to the Balkans and I'm thinking a lot to finish in Belgrade or to add Sofia, Plovdiv and end in Istanbul! There are trains from Plovdiv to Istanbul?

[@ganz3995]

Currently not. The Belgrade-Sofia train stopped around 2020. Hopefully it will return in a few years when track reconstruction between Nis and Sofia is complete. There is a Sofia-Istanbul night train via Plovdiv.

[@MartinBrez]

Why is your book in French and German, yet your KZbin channel is in English?

[@mikemainer3009]

Despite what this video is trying to promote, I would not be comfortable traveling on any train, Bulgarian or not, that is so heavily vandalized by anti-social "street artist" criminals. Makes you wonder about the quality of maintenace on such trains and what other problems that the Bulgarians are ignoring on these trains.

[@ImpureForce]

Why 'surprisingly'? 🤔

[@CalinFR]

Because the rest of the rolling stock in Bulgaria is mostly crap

[@gizemlikisi6213]

@@CalinFR entirely crap. the worst in entire europe

[@imatams]

time to mix it up a little bit, too many broadly similar night train videos recently!

[@Andrij_Kozak]

Most likely decommissioned night train from a German speaking country. I can read Schlafwagen there.

[@droehner23]

No, it's not. These carriages were newly built for Bulgarian Railways. It is customary to write the term "Sleeping Car" in various languages externally.
