I know this might sound a bit peculiar Pete but as I’m 74 you’ll understand, on a long journey like this I wouldn’t mind having a day coach, one like a sleeper but for daytime use so I could stretch out plus they wouldn’t have to provide breakfasts so the attendants would not be overwhelmed as they would on the proper sleeper
Hello Pete, a nice railway video between Wienhaupbahnhof and Kosice. Nice train and fair price. Magnificent landscapes and its mountains 🗻 in the distance. It's always great to travel by train. Thank you for sharing. Friendly greetings from Dives Cabourg in Prague 👋🇸🇽📽️👍🤝🚂
Will take this exact train as part of my journey all the way from Western Austria to Kosice on my 40th birthday in two months. I'm very excited already. :) Thank you for your video. :)
Nice day for a ride, and a nice train ride it was, clean interior of the coaches. Your vegan wrap looked quite tastey. Thanks for letting me come along.
Thanks so much! Yes, the weather was beautiful that day. The vegan wrap was really tasty, but I originally planned to order fried cheese, but unfortunately it was sold out :-D
18:45 Strávil som na Štrbskom Plese jednu zimnú sezónu, a ten pohľad na Tatry z vlaku cestou do Popradu nikdy neomrzí. Len je škoda tej starej Zubačky. Mal som šťastie, že som ju ešte stihol a stála mi doslova ''pred domom'' keď som býval hore na Plese. To boli krásne rána, zobúdzať sa s výhľadom na tú stanicu :) Vďaka za toto video, prinieslo to krásne spomienky
Děkuji za zhlédnutí a koment 😎 Já přes Poprad jezdím několikrát do měsíce, ale ještě jsem neměl možnost podívat se nahoru do Tater ani svézt se električkou .. ale pohled z vlaku na Tatry se nikdy neomrzí 😊
Excellent video, Pete! Beautiful scenery; I'm happy for you that the weather was so cooperative. I also like the Vectrons, but thank you for highlighting the class 240 (and 340). The style is *SO* '60s! Not a good period in political history, but wonderful and unique design by Škoda.
In the future, some lines in Slovakia will be modified for a speed of 125 mph (this is also a reason is why the carrier also purchased new Vectron locomotives for a speed of 125 mph). But probably after 2025, when the new European Train Control System (ETCS) begins to operate.
Nice video! Slovakia is such a beautiful country and so much underrated in Western Europe 😍 The only thing I don´t like in Slovakia is that many trains have only facing seats in second class.
Thank you :-) Yes, it is! You're right, many trains in Slovakia have facing seats, only Bmpz 2nd class coaches (operated mostly on international services) have airline style seats.
I don't wanna be a prick, but I didn't get the reason of serving Bratislava main station. The target is connecting Vienna and some regions of Slovakia, but Bratislava - there are regional expresses each hour twice (from Petržalka and main station on different routes). If the train continues from BA Nové mesto to Košice, the time saving would be about 40 minutes. The coaches are the 1st batch (because InterCity train, the EU funded new ones are not allowed - the train operates as competitive service), anyway I like those a bit more. I am curious, if the Bdghmeer 28-70 coach is weither rattling or not (😁) 2nd, how much time takes a ride from Vienna to Košice via Budapest (railjet + EC Hornád)? Well made video as always.👍
Thanks so much! Yes, a round trip around Bratislava and a long stop at Bratislava hlavná stanica only increases the journey time. I think in total the journey time via Budapest is very similar (plus the transfer time): Railjet Express Wien Hbf - Budapest Keleti 2h39m, EC Hornád Budapest Keleti - Košice 3h38m.
Ahoj,máš super videa a chcem sa spýtať,či by si niekedy nenatočil aj EC283 Slovenskú strelu z Prahy do Košíc? Veľa šťastia prajem a teším sa na ďalšie videa ☝️
Díky moc! To ano, ono to bylo celkem složité zkombinovat aby se to dalo zvládnout s návratem bez nutnosti ubytování, proto asi ještě nikdo nenatočil celou trasu :-D
Díky za zhlédnutí! Já jsem spíše zvědav, jestli je Vrútky stihnout dát dohromady v dostatečném počtu, aby se stihl plánovaný prosincový termín, už jednou se to odkládalo.. další věcí je jak budou zvládat ty přepřahy, protože zatím mají jednu laminátku, jednoho šestikoláka a jednu 754. Ale každopádně to bude zvýšení komfortu na té trase.
@@Lkprak No koupili těch vozů 18, tak i kdyby z toho zkompletovali třeba 8, tak mají jeden pár po 4 vozech.. jde o to jestli stihnou do toho prosince vyjet, údajně by měly ještě před ostrým provozem proběhnout nějaké zkušební jízdy, tak se necháme překvapit.
hello your videos sound great but I would like to see in some videos if possible the intercirculation of trains because I like the noise and see on a switch from time to time here I hope you can see my comment 👍👌
On this train there was the service provided by Wagon Slovakia. JLV operates only Slovakian bistro carriages on EC Slovenska strela. As for the comparison, I’ve never tried Utaselato service, because lastly I traveled on EC Báthory and unfortunately my train missed dining car.. but I plan to try EC Hungaria, so I’ll visit the dining car 😊
2nd class was almost full already from Vienna. 1st class was more occupied from Bratislava, about 20 passengers. After we left Bratislava, I moved to the other half of the car, where there were fewer people.
Hello Sam. I use the default subtitle size. The size of the subtitles is optimized so that it is possible to watch videos on mobile devices as well (according to the analysis, I have the largest number of views right through mobile devices). Otherwise, I try so that the subtitles cover as few views as possible, if I cover more somewhere, it is due to, for example because of graffiti, etc.
@@PeteBrandy v pohode, kedže som pendler medzi Bratislavou a Košicami a zásedne cestupjem iba v tomto type vozňa tak ho poznám aj za tmy........samozrejme skvelá tvorba a videá :)
A beautiful day to ride in a beautiful clean train and see beautiful scenery outside the windows. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for watching! Now I had a luck with the weather on this route (unlike my journey on Pendolino train a months ago).
very nice footages friend...wonderful...great vdo...greetings from india
Thank you for sharing the ride. Your videos take me away to a peaceful place. Can't wait for the next one.

Díky za další pěknou projížďku a krásný pohled na Tatry při západu slunce, nádherný pohled :)

Thanks so much! Class 240 is very interesting and nice locomotive. But my favorite is Class 150/151 :-) Yes, the weather was beautiful 😎
How was the vegan wrap? Did it taste as good as it looked?
Yes, it was tasty :-)
The road bed is in good shape with good ballast and concrete ties over flat terrain. I'm surprised maximum speed isn't 125 mph or higher.
In the future, some lines in Slovakia will be modified for a speed of 125 mph (this is also a reason is why the carrier also purchased new Vectron locomotives for a speed of 125 mph). But probably after 2025, when the new European Train Control System (ETCS) begins to operate.
Docela fajn složení soupravy pro takovou trasu. Všechny vozy vypadají pohodlně.
Celkem ano, přijde mi že tato starší série vozů z Vrútek (Ampeer/Bmpeer) je pohodlnější než nové Ampz/Bmpz co jezdí na EuroCity.
@@PeteBrandy Také má Bmpz oproti Bmpeer o 8 míst k sezení více.
Pěkné video 🚂🚃
Díky moc :-)
Hezké video

I am amazed by the large selection of items on the menu. Are meals prepared on board or heated up?
I think only some meals are prepared on board, depends on each food.
Such are Central European catering services: much better than the (costly) packaged industrial food you find at DB, SNCF etc.
Nádherný video 👍👍👍👍
Díky moc :-)
@@PeteBrandy nemáš zač
Nice report Pete ; did you order anything in the diner?
Oops , I forgot you did order a wrap for lunch !

Most people use this train on the route Bratislava - Kosice, that's why it stops there. Vienna is just a small bonus.
@@m3talrex
Yes, I know, but still the train stops at Petržalka and Nové mesto stations, hence my opinion about serving the main station.
Ahoj,máš super videa a chcem sa spýtať,či by si niekedy nenatočil aj EC283 Slovenskú strelu z Prahy do Košíc?
Veľa šťastia prajem a teším sa na ďalšie videa ☝️
Ahoj, děkuji moc! Na Slovenskou strelu se také chystám, celou trasu lůžkovým vozem 😎

Díky moc! To ano, ono to bylo celkem složité zkombinovat aby se to dalo zvládnout s návratem bez nutnosti ubytování, proto asi ještě nikdo nenatočil celou trasu :-D
Hezké svezení. A jestli se ty exCNL vozy někdy dostanou na Slovensku do provozu, asi tam hodně českých šotoušů udělá výlet🙂

Can you help me with details on how to book your ticket and by using which app?
Hi, I bought a ticket through the carrier ZSSK via their mobile app.
@@PeteBrandy Thankyou for this info.
Are you satisfied with the services of JLV? Is it better Than Utasellátó which is a Hungarian railway catering company?
On this train there was the service provided by Wagon Slovakia. JLV operates only Slovakian bistro carriages on EC Slovenska strela.

How many hours
The train looks deserted.
2nd class was almost full already from Vienna. 1st class was more occupied from Bratislava, about 20 passengers. After we left Bratislava, I moved to the other half of the car, where there were fewer people.
Košice is my city
Zdravím do Košic 😎
A beautiful matching consist? Incredible
just an out of topic question. As a czech citizen, do you still feel a bit "at home" in Slovakia?
Since I was born before the division of Czechoslovakia, I still feel a bit at home in Slovakia :-)
Can you make the subtitles smaller? They block the views. Thanks. Sam
