Na regionální dopravu super motorák, ale přece jen tam nějaké nedostatky jsou :D Parádní video!

[@PeteBrandy]

Díky moc! Určitě jsou, klima chvílemi nestíhala a ty zásuvky mě celkem překvapily, že jsou jen někde. Ale 844 mi přišla lepší než třeba Desiro (kterým jsem jel hned na dalším vlaku).

[@rycarse]

Děkuji, Pete! Excellent video as always. Thank you for taking this local train and sharing the beautiful scenery along the route. Greetings from Canada.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you so much! I also enjoyed the scenery :-) Greetings from Prague :-)

This video is outstanding. I really enjoyed the views from the train windows. The scenery is beautiful. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Pete for another fine video.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@janpf0624]

I am really curious, how are they doing like this.🤔 Every single video, either main line, or branch line, hub stations or some rurals, reconstructed tracks, platforms, new or reconstructed, well maintained vehicles, tidy, clean and comfy inside, well looking outside.👍 A big hats off to the Czech railways, the operator and the network manager either. Way ahead of the other excommie countries, the Czechs can compete with honour to Western European railways.💙 Cheers from Slovakia. (I would like to kick some lazy butts at home. They are looking for excuses always. Do not steal the EU funds.)

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you! Yes, CD trains are usually very nice and clean, but there are also some exceptions. But with the infrastructure the situation is different, there are many closures and track repairs with many restrictions and bus transports. This year the situation is very bad.

[@janpf0624]

@@PeteBrandy But the results. The track closures (detour routes) are necessary and inevitable. At least the taxpayers can see, there is something happening for them.😎 Á propos, closure: Do You know, from June the section Šurany - Levice on the ŽSR line 150 will be closed for 180 days. The Polana night train, first and last Urpins will be detoured via Štúrovo. I don't know sure, but perhaps, it will have some influence on the Metropolitans.🤔 2) the Austrians have new ads like: The new schedule for Vienna - Pressburg under 40 minutes via Marchegg.😁 LoL, I have a feelings, the Austrians will finish the only remaining, not electrified Slovakian 3 kilometre long stretch from Thieben Neudorf (Devínska Nová Ves) to a state border... ...yes, I am salty.😠

[@Pidalin]

But it was not always like that, everything was reconstructed in last 10 years.

Great video 👍👍👍

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@lindavainomae3489]

Thanks for the great review Pete. The Regio Shark is a really good looking regional train - and I like the logo too. I noticed a Regio Spider train in the background at one point. Is that similar?

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much Linda! RegioSpider units are slightly different and are from another manufacturer (Stadler, formerly AdTranz) and have a lower capacity. Btw. RegioSpider units, which are seen in the video, are a bit special, adapted for mountain tracks with a high climb. These ones are operated on route to the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše).

[@VlastimilKarlik-ic6ex]

Super super 😊😊😊😊

[@vyashtuijnman6417]

Maybe its just me, but they kinda look ''high speed train-ish'' to me, especially because of the streamlined front. Thanks for the amazing video :)

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Yes, they really do look like high speed trains. But the real reason for this design was probably the TSI standards :-D Btw. Pesa also produces locomotives with a similar look :-)

[@vyashtuijnman6417]

S RegioSharkem jsem se ještě nesvezl, tak snad bude příležitost. Dost často bývám na Karlovarsku, kde jezdí, tak se nějak projedu :) Nedávno jsem jel s RegioPanterem z Plzně do Berouna a musím říct, že s těmito jednotkami se jezdí dobře a pohodlně :) Líbí se mi jak jsou ty mašiny pojmenovaní, tady Žralok Matěj :) Díky za další zajímavou projížďku.

[@PeteBrandy]

Díky moc za zkouknutí. Já byl na tom donedávna podobně, toto byla má první cesta Žralokem. Původně jsem také uvažoval nad Karlovarském, ale trať z Děčína do Liberce jsem ještě nikdy nezkusil, tak jsem spojil 2 premiéry. Ano, Matěj, a má svého jmenovce i na EC vozbě, protože Matěj je i jeden z Vectronů co jezdí na Berlinerech :-) Jinak ty nové RegioPantery co jezdí Plzeň - Beroun opravdu jezdí pěkně, mile mě překvapily :-)

[@wonka12321]

Regio shark nemám rád kvůli "vědeckému" otevírání dveří. U vsech ostatních prostredků hromadné dopravy v České republice stačí před zastavením či po něm stisknout tlačítko a dveře se otevřou. Zde ne! Musí se dlouho držet! Jefnou jsem na to zapomněl jel jsem rozespalý večer a po stisknutí tlacitka dveří se nic nedělo. Po chvíli se dal vlak do pohybu a já jsem prejel svou stanici!!! Následně jsem strašně nadával a dostal jsem se tam kam jsem jet nechtěl!

[@PeteBrandy]

To jsem naštěstí nezkoušel :-D Jel jsem z výchozí až na konečnou.. ale snad to u těch nových Pesa co mají objednané už bude předělané.

[@toniunterwegs]

I saw your Video, it is great, do you Know Maybe why, I don't find this Train online. Because next week I will be in Decin and I also want to take this Train, because last time I like this Train. I have now an Interrail Global Pass including the 1st class. Thanks in advance

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you! It's easy, there was a new tender for this route and now local trains between Děčín and Liberec are operated by Trilex.

[@toniunterwegs]

​@@PeteBrandy Okay, thank you that explains me everything. Thank you!

[@samtrak1204]

Top speed and ride quality?

[@PeteBrandy]

Top speed info of the unit is 120 km/h (75 mph). Top top speed on the line is 120 km/h (75 mph), but some sections are only for a speed around 70 km/h (44 mph). The ride quality was good due to good bogies of the train.

[@honnzok7495]

No a ještě by stálo za poznámku, že tento jízdní řád zde jezdí ČD s jednotkami 844 zřejmě naposledy... Od prosince 2022 má Os Děčín - Liberec převzít právě s Desirama dopravce Die Landerbahn....

[@PeteBrandy]

Vím o tom, ale nechtěl jsem to tam psát, protože je ještě do prosince dost času a až to převezme Trilex, tak to stejně půjdu otestovat.

Nemohu si pomoct, ale tyhle sedačky prostě nejsou do první třídy a to ani v motoráku, tvrdý, nepohodlný a co koukám ani polohovat nejde, například Arriva je má jako druhou třídu. V regionálce se mi líbí sedačky co dali do push-pullů pro MS kraj. Žralok jde asi nejlépe to jde porovnat s ABpee347, kde ten samostatný seat (11) co je hned u nástupu má víc místa na nohy, zase v Sharkovi mi přijde líp řešený ty sedačky proti sobě a je tam očividně víc místa, je tam líp řešený osvětlení, oddíl nefunguje jako turniket na nástup a výstup cestujících ze dvojky, zkrátka líp řešený a jediný co kazí dojem jsou ty sedačky. Každopádně v regionálce takovouto jedničku zkousnu, ale jet v tom tři a půl hodiny z Prahy do Trutnova je za trest.

[@PeteBrandy]

Sedačky mohly být pohodlnější, ale zas tolik mi nevadily, jinak souhlas, ta jednička v RegioSharku je celkem dobře vyřešená, nejvíc cením přepážku mezi 1. a 2. třídou, která je až ke stropu a nejsou v ní žádné otvory, narozdíl od Push-pullů pro MSK nebo InterPanterů.
