    Great video, you have a new follower! Loved your narrating and what you showed! 1. Most people in Hungary hope that the state won’t be able to increase its shares in the company cos…let’s just say missing soap would be the least of our problems 😅 the Hungarian government’s obnoxious ministers have done a lottttt of damage to the Austrian-Hungarian relations. 2. These are ex-ÖBB carriages, almost identical to the ones running at RegioJet 3. The company (really the government) back then wasted too much time with acquiring the used ÖBB carriages, this is why there were no more first class suitable ones to buy unfortunately. It really is an “upgraded” economy that u get when booking “first” class. A bit like the business class on European airlines 😂 4. YT just recommended your channel, off I go to check out your other vids 😍 Safe travels!

      Thank you so much for the feedback and most importantly: the insights. I read that the plan of Hungary to increase it's ownership is mainly aimed at getting single decision power for the company b- thus making decisions without having to take Austria's position into account. And without getting into politics all too much: that sounds concerning and definitely won't improve international collaboration in the railway sector nor the quality of service... Regiojet did buy their coaches from Deutsche Bahn, didn't they? And as the IC 1 carriages of Deutsche Bahn are about to be retired as replaced by the new ICE L, GySEV might get another shot at buying first class coaches if they plan to 😁

    Very interesting video! I know these kind of coaches from ÖBB, if find the seats pretty comfy too. They were built by Simmering-Graz-Pauker (now part of Siemens) that also made the old Subways and Trams in Vienna. It's funny that they snuck in a 1. Class option just by putting a leather cover on the seat. But at that price, you can't complain 😅 Little correction: the door seats also have a table (you can even see it for a moment in the video at 3:50 ), but they are pretty hidden under the armrest when folded, so I don't blame you for missing them

    • @ExplorebyRail

    That seems it's hauled by a Croatian locomotive! By the way, do you want to go to Kraków, my city? We have a lot of locally produced trains, even foreign-branded like Stadler FLIRT, which're produced in Siedlce. Also, our country has modernised and reopened it's rail lines and stations (especially the Tomaszów Mazowiecki-Kielce line, which reintroduced a rail service to Końskie)😂😂😂!!!

    Furthermore these are also former ÖBB coaches built between the late 1970s and early 1980s ~ so even more Austria 🇦🇹 in this train. The ÖBB sold a lot of older coaches after buying the new RailJet. Even though similar coaches to these are also still running by the ÖBB.

    Fun fact, Astra Transcarpatic is owned by rolling stock manufacturer Astra Vagoane Calatori. AVC is based in Arad and they don't manufacture just carriages, but also some trams in Arad and Bucharest. Now this isn't the only private operator owned by a rolling stock firm, Softrans is owned by Softronic who operate their own EMUs on routes like Bucuresti-Brasov, București-Constanța and Bucuresti-Craiova.

      Yass, the Astra carriages are actually very well known in all of Europe. And I absolutely get why: They are top quality! And don't you worry: A video about Softrans own EMU is coming soon as well (their quality is a little more mediocre though :D)
