Thanks, nice to hear. I did that trip also with an interrail pass and the upgrade was worth it.

i once travelled full from Dortmund to Innsbruck....

and the ICE train is only a replace for the locomotive IC trains ....

No, it is indeed the Saalach. The Salzach goes through Salzburg itself.

Do it :) it’s really nice. I wonder why the ICE is so much slower than the railjet and stops this often

@@TravelbyRailsthe normal RJ (not RJX) also stops like that, but I guess it’s because that’s how it was planned (before it was an IC line, but converted to ICE probably cuz of old rolling stock, but also for extra money)

Thanks for the information :)

Thank you :) It's sometimes really hard to find the right names of trains in foreign countries, so I am sorry. I thougt that's a universal name for the train like the Stadler Kiss and Flirts which are called that in different countries.

​@@TravelbyRailsYeah, at least you know in future! And again great trip report. Thanks for reply :)

Thank you :) Yes for me it is also 50/50. Both are good. When I will be in Slovakia the next time I want to try a train to Kosice. But I don't know when it will be.

I can also guarantee you that you will be intetested to see such a massive difference between those stations. Košice has been modernized and its basically a shopping center. (Not really, but you understand probably) The way Bratislava main station is so "old" is because of its bad placement. If you have been wondering why the most "important" station of Slovakia (kind of) is in that condition, thats the reason. They wanted to refurbish this station, but it failed. That is why i think that Košice is probably the best station to represent Slovakia, because it is modern and also big. Few stations in Slovakia are also modern, but they are small. The only problem in Košice might be some people. But still its far from Wien Hauptbahnhof 😂 @@TravelbyRails

@@tomaszhoffmann-ge6cithey want to make new station but there is not Too much place to build bigger station because this Is small (new station can be in Nové Mesto, filiálka... we will see this year where it will be

Yes the station isn't nice, but the trains are nice. At least they could modernize the station a little bit.

@@simontv1520 yes I heard that too, that they don't have space for a bigger station at the current place. But if they build a new station it probably won't be that central at the city as the current main station. It is only 10 minutes with the tram form the historic city center.

@@simontv1520 maybe a 2 floor solution? Underground platforms 2 or 3 for commuter trains and suburban connections. On the ground level 3 platforms for IC, EC, rychlik etc.

Hello, nice video. You Can also try the main railway between Bratislava and Košice the maximum speed is 160km/h to Púchov from there are mounts. To Žilina is i think 140km/h max and from Žilina is most of the railway to max 120km/h (btw the Žilina station is under construction now. You can see it on Google and most of the stations from Bratislava to Púchov are new) thank you for reading, have a Nice day🙂.

@@simontv1520 Thank you :) next time in Slovakia I want to try the Line to Kosice and also the Pendolino trains

I prefer more Slovakian Eurocity because its more comfortable and more modern...

Looks comfy

Definitely - it‘s the best!

What is the point of these companies? This one even uses OBB equipment. This is like Ryanair for passenger rail, right? These small private companies fail because they are not dependable, they have limited capital for equipment, personnel and maintenance etc, and because passenger rail is a public utility, it is not a for-profit business. Anyone who thinks it can be a regular business is dreaming. Many of these companies exist mainly to provide tax breaks for rich investors, so they may not even care if they lose money. Most of these companies are non-union, unlike the state railways. Also the state railways have many more requirements to satisfy so they can operate. So it is unfair to let these small companies come in and steal passengers from them.

Thank you :)
