I watched yesterday Pete and forget to comment whoops! Seems really good for a regional service, comfortable and fast, nice there's first class too and loco-hauled 😍😍😍

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! It's good that you forget to comments, because I deleted yesterday's video and re uploaded it :-D

[@MarwiX_CZ]

nice video! munich is a beautiful city! I like him very much. 1:33 the locomotive has the designation 380 in the Czech Republic

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! I also like Munich :-) Yes, DB class 102 is based on class 380 locos, but slightly modified according to DB requirements (and is only for 15kV voltage)

[@flyingwithmatt]

Great video Pete, as always!👌 I really like this train, very modern 😉✌️

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Btw these sets were built by Czech company, maybe they will be operated in Poland in the future.

[@ELAviation]

Awesome report Pete!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! :-)

Lovely video and view of the autumn leaves!!

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Sadly, the autumn leaves are announcing that the winter is is close (but I prefer spring and summer :-D).

[@lindavainomae3489]

Another enjoyable video Pete - thanks. Looks like a really nice regional set and wasn't the weather just great for a ride through Bavaria. Thanks also for the tip on buying the daily ticket if travelling at short notice - will no doubt come in handy in the future. 👍

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Yes, this is very nice regional train :-) For me, this train was interesting mainly because it is made in my country, soon similar sets from the same manufacturer will be in operation in my country as well :-)

[@gimus3]

I like your trip reports! 😉

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much, I'm very pleased :-)

[@albertvicic1816]

Very nice train. Awsome video

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much!

[@TripsonBudget]

As I said in the original video, exterior design of the trainset is amazing in my oppinion. I will do the route next week, but on ICE, I will try ICE for my first time.

[@PeteBrandy]

Nice, I also planned ICE from Munich, but there are mainly ICE3 and ICE4 in operation and I already tried both of them.

[@vachankehr5403]

Dass war ein sehr schönes Video

[@PeteBrandy]

Vielen Dank!

Gracias! Greetings from Prague :-)

[@pakroomitrains]

I watch this yesterday... But anyway video was awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much again! :-)

[@seddy69]

thanks for the video. I have done that journey twice - I come over from New Zealand and like visiting the DB Museum in Nuremberg. But with the effects of COVID (Ie much higher airfares from NZ to Germany) I can watch your video(s) and get pleasure from them.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! I think you will go to Europe again sometime :-) Greetings from Prague! :-)

[@transportfan2]

Interesting video Pete! In my opinion the train looks a bit too bulky but it at least seems to have plenty of seats.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Yes, Deutsche Bahn ordered higher capacity of the train.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

they used to run single deck coaches on this route but they switched to double deck coaches as there was such a high demand, connecting some of the largest cities in the state and some of the larger towns in between, which is also interesting for many commuters

[@DrRchannel71]

nice report, we were have the same spots in our videos :-)

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you! Yes, and only in few days between our visits of Munich :-D

[@mariannewalker6554]

I go on train soon pete

[@andreaspettersson2096]

Good review as usual, but would you mind tilting the camera up and/or use the wide-angle lens, please.

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks :-) This was an even older video, now I'm using a gimbal or a different camera angle, so maybe it looks better now :-)

[@williamcarlson5405]

From WC, Great video, I appreciate the English as my German isn’t that great, but please leave info up longer every time you add some as I can’t read that fast! William Carlson USAF in Germany in the 1960’s

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! OK, I'll try to give more space to the texts .. sometimes there are just a lot of informations and a short shot :-D Greetings from Prague :-)

[@dinoalexanderrheingold8809]

Sehr schön ein Abo von mir

[@PeteBrandy]

Vielen dank! :-)

[@laszlosteiner]

Great video, but a summary of your thoughts and critical opinion at the end would've been nice. Do you think they're good? Was it worth the wait for so many years?

[@PeteBrandy]

Thank you :-) I wrote some opinions at the end of the video.. but honestly in some things I was surprised (not pleasantly), for example the train was less spacious then e.g. Twindexx or Stadler Kiss. And also I had the feeling that the train was swaying slightly to the sides (but I wasn't sure), until a friend confirmed to me that he had a similar feeling.

[@TravelALBERT]

Really nice Trip report!!! Reupload?

[@PeteBrandy]

Thanks so much! Yes, because there were some mistakes in subtitles.. And unfortunately, people have to criticize everything, so I made a corrections and re uploaded the video.

[@ppml2000]

Hi Pete! I don't know if you see the question. Are there ticket inspectors on regional trains in Bavaria? If there is a delay, who should be told to wait for the other train?

[@PeteBrandy]

Hi! Yes, there was a conductor on most of the trains I traveled on in Bavaria (including this one). The only train where I didn't meet the conductor was the train running between Nürnberg and Cheb

[@martinbatyi2377]

Skvělý video ale nevidal jsi toto video před 2 dny??

[@PeteBrandy]

Díky :-) Vydal, ale pak smazal, protože jsem musel opravit pár nepřesností v titulcích ..

[@adamallencates]

Is this train part of the Deutschland Ticket? Where can I find the schedule?

[@PeteBrandy]

This train is a Regional express category, so it should be included in the validity of the Deutschland ticket. The departures should be found in the DB Navigator application or on the Deutsche Bahn website (I'd rather put only München - Ingolstatt in the search), these trains are marked as line RE1. Btw. sometimes it may happen that this double-decker unit can be replaced by a classic loco-hauled set, because these Škoda units are quite faulty.

[@jirivalenta6382]

Tohle by se hodilo na R Rožmberk 😀

[@PeteBrandy]

Jo, ale na těch 6 vozů by tam museli dát 2 Brejlovce :-D

[@sotous_z_krnova]

Podobné soupravy teď jezdí na lince S6 z Ostravy do Frenštátu pod Radhoštěm.

[@PeteBrandy]

Vím, chystám se na ně.. já jsem záměrně na podzim zkusil ten NIM expres, abych měl srovnání.

[@themortycz]

First comment!

[@PeteBrandy]

Congrats a díky :-D
