Thank you for another awesome video Scott. The view from the rear of the train is always fun, you can see where you've been 🤣🤣🤣 Beats sitting in a shared area with others for hours on end. I am like you... I like my own space. 😉
That business class coach looks like a refurbished DB loco hauled intercity coach, part compartment seating part open seating. They were very common on DB intercity trains in the early 90’s.
Budapest-Kelenföld is not a dump. The building is a bit unloved but it's mostly an interchange with the bus and metro systems. Regiojet: Low fares, high staff levels, bargain priced catering, what's not to love. I don't understand how they make any money running their trains though.
I think you have this wrong Scott in as much as Kelenföld is a very useful station indeed. It is very well connected by Metro to Central Budapest and if there needs to be engineering work coming out of either Deli or Keleti stations, a train will start at Kelenföld as a result and the Metro transit is a really easy one. Also worth knowing is that a Budapest transport 24 hour pass or 48/72 hour BKK is valid on trains as far s Kelenföld. Guards will only usually check tickets after Kelenföld. Convenient station, well connected by Metro and has a few places to get food and drink.
Great, I recall travelling between Budapest and Vienna about 30 years ago, it was mid winter and show on the ground, the 1st class carriage was baking hot, and a compartment coach too. Don't remember much else except that there were lots of touts at Kaleti station wanting to exchange money. Oh, and queueing in the snow for a taxi! Much prefer trains to using a bus ....
Totally agree about compartments. We travelled from Gdansk to Vienna in the Summer, 11 hours in a compartment. Luckily it was empty after Katowice but it's so awkward compared to standard seating
Did the solo seats get fillled? Loved your trip. It was real. Traveling is full of adventures and mysteries, some good some bad. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.
I now live in Poland and have used the train compartments on several occasions and have never had any problems suppose it’s a matter of personal preference 👍
Hi Scott, that diesel railcar (made in 1950s I believe) is operating on weekends and it's a regular service to one of the suburbs. And also probably the most beautiful journey in Prague, views are stunning as you ascend. But you will see for yourself 🙂
Taken this train myself from Vienna to Budapest (and got off at Kelenfold as it was nearer to where I was staying in Budapest than the main station). Like Scott, the upgrade was a no-brainer and was pleasantly surprised on how cheap the food was on board.
Thats the old Kelenfold station you have showed us. no one really using it tbh. Kelenfold is pretty handy to get to with m4 metro or tram. newly built Etele Plaza / shopping centre / is beside it if you want to kill some time. Starbucks is the store on the right upon entering the plaza. Deli used to be nice about 30 yrs. gateway to the southern part of the country hence the name deli./ southern / good luck with your journey.
Love the videos. I think you need more water/hydration though. It will reduce the lip smacking before and after every sentence 😆. Keep up the good work 😎
I was in a Regiojet compartment from Breclav to Prague earlier this year. I booked the very last seat in the Regiojet office at the train station five minutes before it arrived in Breclav. It is a miserable experience in the six seat compartments when they're full.
Thanks for a quite interesting video. On one point I would disagree with you, . As other commentators have pointed out, Kelenfold is not that bad a station. And (more importantly) it is very busy because (as other commentators have also pointed out) it has excellent Metro, tram and bus connections. In particular metro line M4 and the very busy tram route number 1 terminate at Kelenfold.
Kelenföld station Old building is closed since 2014. There is a new part, and there is a new mall in front of the station. You could hang around that 2 hour. Even watch a movie.
Kelenföld actually isn’t a bad station and streetview doesn’t do the area any justice. Since the last recording the area was redeveloped and there are lot’s of places around to grab a coffee or something to eat. Anyway, fun video! No video from Budapest coming up?
Oh nice!! Welcome to Prague, Scott!! :) About a month ago I was thinking of going to Budapest from Prague. And on the Czech Railway website, I saw a connection where the first class was cheaper than the second.. go figure The magazine is "žlutý" which means "yellow".. but I like your pronunciation better :D :D :D And the train at the end of the video is class 830 or former M 262 from the 1950s. The KŽC company bought it a while ago, restored it and runs it on the Prague Semmering route on the weekends :) the route has some cool views too. I took a ride on it this summer and actually did think "I wonder what Scott would say", at least I was 8 years old again that day.. lol If you do take it some day, you'll want to sit on the right-hand side when going out of the main train station towards Zličín ;) And a regular Prague public transport ticket will be fine on the train as well. Let me know if you'll need a travel buddy 😁
Brilliant Scott 👏 I love your vlogs/content. I've been to BUD, your Regio journey looks fab 👏 I must get out more, you give me inspiration 👍 Keep it up 🚉🚊 Lastly, what's your latest book called? & Where can I purchase? Great ✓
Freddie Mercury is the only reason i even know where Budapest is lol and apparently he left an impression on Hungary as you often see Queen tribute bands in the local pubs on youtube lol
Scott...those "toilet tours" are potentially lethal.....some day you're gonna go in there with the go pro and find a "big log" like a baby's arm lurking in the bottom of the bowl! 😲😲😲😁😜
When I did Interrail, compartments were a saving grace...somewhere to sleep overnight...before arriving at a new city in the morning! Deutsche Bahn were the best...the benches folded down to turn the whole compartment into a bed. If anyone tried to come in we just made grunting noises to dissuade them! Bill
I've done the section from Vienna to Budapest Kelenfold and I have to say, the service was awesome and the food/drink prices are incredible! I have no idea how they can sell a slice of cheesecake for 50c - they can't be making profit on that?
Scott, a very boring video and looking at a loo on a train is not going to get you many followers, it's time for some new ideas as your videos have become very repetitive.
Just as bad as compartments are those trains with open-plan coaches but then all the seats face each other, like Switzerland or Hungary or wherever treats you to. I had to spend hours recently looking at some grumpy looking woman who had to telephone all her friends it appeared. Though not sure it was worse than the recent 6-hour journey in a compartment with people who had brought their poor cat who seemed nervous and appeared to be suffering from flatulence. As if that wasn't bad enough, it was kept in a massive carrier that meant hopping over it to get to the toilet.
At least in a compartment you are spared the din that usually emanates from an open coach. Here in England there are no longer any compartments, which is a shame as they are usually very civilised.
My wife grew up in Budapest, Kelenfold was a dump of a station 40 years ago and it's lived in that mode permanently, the other thing is that Hungarin Railways are in a state of crisis, falling apart literally. Unfortunately promises of major rejuvination and high speed links with Chinese money and work, have in large been swallowed up by incompetence and corruption, and yes Deli Pajaudvar (southern) ain't much of a station, a bit of an ugly 70's communist era relic, the Nyugati (Western) terminal built by Eiffel and the huge Keletti (Eastern) are the far more classier european hubs.
Business is above first class on trains, not below it. Regio is Czech; there are probably limitations on what they can sell in Hungary. I'd say Mav Start sell the tickets from the first station instead.
Great video! Just some feedback though Mind the lip smacking, or cotton mouth effect on your videos. Try and cut that out in post, it be a hard listen sometimes!!
Not joking I would rather stand than sit in these awkward compartments. Hate them. Fine if you are on your own, if not they are really bloody awkward ambience
18.30 ticket inspector rocks up...."youre Scott arent you?".........brilliant.
Brilliant watch Scott. I love Sunday mornings . Safe travels
Wish I had your energy Scott! Always entertaining, can't imagine the work that goes on behind the scenes to produce such quality videos.
The car attendant is wonderful 😍
Looking forward to your next journey in that classic railcar,
I love old coaches like that, as well..
As a fellow Scot TH-camr, I love your content. Refreshing, down to earth. I hope your channel takes off like Bald & Bankrupt. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
Scott is way better than that wrongen.
Agreed.
There's something about B&B that I can't put my finger on, but I don't like him, Scott is more down to earth.
I'm also a Scot and I hope your channel blows up too, all the best with it.

Budapest to Vienna on the train is going to be really great thanks.
☕👋🇬🇧
I didn't realise that I hadn't subscribed.
Fixed, thank you, Scott.
Great stuff, Scott. If you'd been able to get one of those solo seats in the open-plan section, looks like it would have been the perfect trip!

If you’ve got to be in a compartment then that’s got to be one of the best
That cheesecake looked absolutely tasty ❤
Cheers Scot always a good vlog
Excellent as always, always a pleasure and entertaining.

Great video once again Scott.
Good Morning Scott, I enjoyed watching your TH-cam video! Thank you for the video, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.
Great video Scott always entertaining and interesting
Best channel on youtube!
I am a coffee lover too and I've started using the cruising level as my measurement !
Amazing videos really
Funny how WC is almost universally used for the loo. It's the same here in Italy. None of the locals would know what it means.
Thank you.
Thank you for the video. 10 well spent
Hi Scott, hopefully you will get the chance to sample the beers in Prague 😂
Regiojet - is that the same Regiojet where you took a coach from London Victoria to Prague :-). Loved the video :-)
A great video Scott thank you

Their black & amber carriages remind me of old Irish Rail.

Prices in other countries are not bargains since they weren’t made for foreigners, they just reflect what people earn.
Oh nice!! Welcome to Prague, Scott!! :)

Those kind of Eastern European stations always remind me of the horror movie Hostel. This is better content, places you never usually see. Good job!

The open space seats are relax class - one class under business and officially 2nd class. They cost a bit lessa nd have less free stuff.
For some odd reason, on central European trains economy < first < business, unlike aircraft. So business is actually the top class of service.
Unlike you, I'm quite fond of Regiojet's Business class cabins. Nice and quiet because there are a maximum of 3 other passengers wandering around...
Scott can we have some more recent videos please 😂
Business is above first class on trains, not below it. Regio is Czech; there are probably limitations on what they can sell in Hungary. I'd say Mav Start sell the tickets from the first station instead.

It's his false teeth
How long does it take from finishing a video to put it on to you tube. I’ve often wondered how you do it.
These might have been former ÖBB waggons, weren't they?
You are correct. You can find the same seats on ÖBB Eurocity and Intercity services.
2nd
it is NOT a busy service. WTF. Can book a ticket just like that. FU giving misinfo.
Good to see a shorter video. Last one way too long so didn’t watch
Not joking I would rather stand than sit in these awkward compartments. Hate them. Fine if you are on your own, if not they are really bloody awkward ambience

Regiojet has gone downhill since the BatFlu.
