This is rolling stock (Austrian) from the 1990s, more or less unchanged. It is still pretty decent. The 4 seat compartments (7:24) are former "Business class" seats, now "downgraded" to regular 1st class.The dark glass separation (at 1:24) in the second class is still from the times when smoking was allowed on trains (banned in 2007), the smaller section was the smoking section.
Should be a great trip in late summer/autumn, with everything in leaf. 1st class compartment looked good, I envisaged the same as on the trip down, only with an extra USB point and a table lamp!
@@trailblazinpeppers Took a TGV from central France to Amsterdam once. Due to an impossibly short connection time we got stranded in Rotterdam for a night. Turned out to be a brilliant experience, once we got into a hostel, etc. Did a bit of slow train travel in Holland and across into northern Germany, ending up near Hannover. We had bought a little csmpervan off German eBay, so collected it and drove it back to Ireland, via Luxembourg, and across France to Roscoff ferry port. Good Times.
@@trailblazinpeppers Both Germany and France are incredibly welcoming for camper-vans. Lots of free parking ( aires) we roughly went south from Hannover to Mainz, took in some vineyards near Mainz too. Vans in Europe are generally a LOT smaller than RV's in the US. Lots of caravans too, mostly pulled by the family car.
How did you reserve a seat in 1st class? I’m trying to but it’s saying it’s automatic reserved but has a $6 option to get reserved seat. It’s so confusing 😅
Seems to be around 100-200 euro round trip per ticket from Munich. The first class tickets can vary a lot I guess depending on the demand of that specific time. On the way down the first class was much more expensive but on the way back it wasn't much more to upgrade to first class.
Luckily i watched your video, i bought ticket for this train but i did not know you have to book seats since on italian train works differently (even if you don't reserve a specific seat, like near the window or a single seater, they give you a random one). What's the point of having so many people standing for such a long ride? honestly i don't get it

It was a fun ride and so glad we did the 1st class. Made for a better ride.
Congratulations 🎉❤All the best for your family.
Thank you so much 😊

Yes that would be great to see the colorful leaves. Thanks for watching! Have you done any scenic train travel in Europe?

Wow that sounds like an incredible trip! We would love to do some campervan traveling!

Deutsche Bahn is always an adventure. ;)
That is very true. Just yesterday we found ourselves on the wrong car of a train that split. Luckily it all worked out.
@@trailblazinpeppers I know, already happened🙁

I think for us we paid the extra to have a reserved seat. Children though can't reserve a seat if they are under a certain age.

Olá! Estou tentando comprar a passagem inversa, de Verona para Munich, mas o site da Trenitalia não permite. Em qual site posso comprar?
We used OMIO to book our tickets. Also you could look at Trainline.

Thanks for watching! That's one thing we definitely have learned is always book seats on the long distance trains.
ICE not Ice (InterCityExpress😂)
Thanks for the insight!
