I took this service to Krakow in the same type of car! They included the bottled water and cake in the cabinet of my room, I'm guessing since it was only booked to Krakow, and I actually slept well in the firm bed. Too firm is better than too soft. The only hiccup was around midnight, we were stopped at warsaw (I think), and somebody got stuck in the toilet bc the door jammed or something and had a panic attack, and they started pounding on the door. The conductor tried getting it open, but that didn't work, so they got a cop from off the platform to try to force it open, which didn't work, so the cop went and got a battering ram and broke down the door. I only learned this afterwards, so imagine waking up at 12:05 AM to what sounds like a buffalo wresting a grizzly bear for 45 minutes and you'll get a picture of what the experience was like.
I've been on the same train about a year ago, going from Wien to Kraków. I booked a shared compartment and it was quite nice. Breakfast included slices of bread, cheese, jam and butter, the chocolate wafer, orange juice, water and tea or coffee. Since none of the people in my compartment touched their breakfast, I even got to take all three of them with me :D. PKP EuroNight services are definitely great value!
Great stuff I’m a sucker for sleeper trains and I can feel my eyelids getting heavy already just watching but then again even on a half hour train journey I’m relaxed to the point of comatose, I’ve said to my wife that as the restrictions are lifting when we feel like it we’ll do a 3 centre holiday and use the sleeper train for travel between countries,
Very thorough review, thanks. Much as I would love to see some Ukraine content, I wouldn't want to encourage you to travel there at the moment, but if it's already recorded, I look forward to seeing it.
Great video! I took the same carriage from Vienna to Warsaw and I also remember the hard mattress :-D But otherwise I find these sleeping cars very good. Good job!
I need to take lessons from you :) Because I always show late at the train station, just 5-10 minutes before the train departs and feel always at rush :)) My closest catch was a train from Romania to Serbia(now the route is cancelled) where actually I run to the platforms and the trains starting to leave and I manage to made signs by hands the train driver saw me and stop the train and let me in :)) This was in 2015. Nice memories. thanks :)
I dont know if some one wrote that before. But a fact about Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice is that Slubice was till the end of 2nd World War a part of Frankfurt (Oder)
Do you have any other films from Poland? Have you ever more been to our State? I am curious what the foreigners think of Poland. Personally, I live in Warsaw, however I could also recommend you the "TriCity" ("Trójmiasto"), which refers to Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot, a conurbation of three cities close to Baltic Sea. I like going there during vacations. Poland has also that fine feature, that we have both: the sea (in the north), the mountains (in the south - cities like Zakopane, Wisła, Krynica) and a large lake district (Masuria in the district of Olsztyn - the norhen-eastern part of Poland). Despite Masuria, there are another, but less known lake districts between southern Pomerania and northen "Greater Poland" (Poznań district). And also large Białowieza forest close to the border with Belarus (currently maybe not so safe, because there are some islamic migrants trying to illegally cross the border from Belarus, probably brought there by Belarusian government for not friendly reasons). However, except from this thing, I think Poland is a very safe place. In Warsaw even at night I didn't occur any dangerous situations. The only I miss here in Poland is that the summer lasts only three, maybe four months. I would dream of a climat like in Canary Islands or Brazil - the summer all around the year! :P The mayor cities are: Warsaw - the captital, Cracow (which you mentioned in the film), Wroclaw (you have overslept it in this train), Poznań, Gdańsk with Tricity conurbation (which I mentioned), Łódź, Szczecin and Silesia conurbation with Katowice.
Generally people think positive of Poland. Usually when people travel to Poland, its Warsaw and Krakow. I never heard anyone saying something bad about their time there. I think Poland needs to try to promote itself a bit more, because a lot of people don't really consider Poland. The cou try is quite underrated. First choice is usually France, Italy, Spain or Germany, even Greece and Turkey.
Your Coach might have a gauge changer axle therefore it will be taken up to the Gauge Changer at Premzyl for a possible UZ PKP DB Lyviv Breslau Berlin trip.
Great and informative video. I would also like to see some Ukrainian content but with the current situation there, I would imagine it won't be anytime soon. I was planning to visit Chernobyl this year but that's now highly unlikely.
Thanks! I've got a lot of Ukrainian content recorded, it's a country that I love a lot, but I think that I will refrain from uploading it for the time being.
Please, tell me where you bought a ticket? Now I am trying to find a solution to move by sleeper trains from Przemyśl to Germany (my spouse has a problem with her back and can not use ordinary sitting trains/plains/buses). And there is a total mess of information about Europe Night sleeper trains. Like they are irregular, or even hidden from people. I am trying to find this train in pkp or dbahn sites and it is absent!
Have seen 5 of your pieces (sri lanka, india, kaza/kirgi, germany and poland) and find them well done and reasonably interesting. I did not like the sleeper thing, as it cuts down interaction with other passangers to zero. And often who you sit next to is 10 more important than the number of sockets. For this very reason when in PL I much prefer to drive
Oh yes! Don't mention it! That horn in US trains is upsetting, aggravating... Whether it's a daytime or an overnight train, I always take a rear carriage when traveling by train in the US. Why on earth are they so obsessed about their horns?!
@@SuperalbsTravels Fingers crossed the conflict won't spread, but it's always better to travel before than after, if it does... memories of bombed out stations and soldiers with machine guns continually patrolling the train from Zagreb to Split (12 hours!) when that reopened after the Balkans conflict. Great video as usual, thanks. About a third of the price of the UK for the same distance which was actually surprising given that a good portion was in Germany.

I really enjoy the jokes you insert into your report. This one about the least appetizing item being the hand sanitizer was a surprise. 😂
Hahaha, I forgot I slipped that one in there. 🤣
Love watching these sleeper train reviews
Glad you enjoy, I must confess to being a sleeper train obsessive. 🤣

Thanks, I'm also a massive fan of sleeper trains! I have literally just got off a 33hr one.

@@SuperalbsTravels Very sensitive and wise.
Great video! I really envy your ability to sleep under those conditions.
Thanks! It was a bit annoying haha.
Great video! I took the same carriage from Vienna to Warsaw and I also remember the hard mattress :-D But otherwise I find these sleeping cars very good. Good job!
Thanks! Other than the needlessly hard mattress, they're really decent. I don't see why it has to be so hard...
Nice use of the word "cranny" at 14:10, unusual to see it without a "nook" in front!
Thanks for noticing, and I agree! 😉
Great video !!
Thank you! :)

Really cool story though!

I do like the ICE trains in Germany. They are so quick and beautiful.
Agreed!
Yet to travel on one . On the to do list
Indeed. And please stop annoying me s125ish.
@@s125ish Well worth going on!
Bro you should next time go to skm in Poland cause it’s a nice train and short journey.
It is a local train for Warsaw capital of Poland
Great vid!
You didnt mention than EN57 is the longest-manufacturing unit in the world :) maybe a movie about?
First 😘
Okay, cheers. 👍

I believe these have visited Kyiv before...
Similar design at Kyiv-Pas next to a ChME3:

25 minutes delay?! Why is it so early??!
I would also say a couchette car with 4 bunks is good
Awesome review! What site do you use to edit your thumbnails?
Thank you! I actually make them myself offline. :)

Intercity night express - Ile to kosztowal I jak dlugo sie jedzie? Pozdrawiam
Is there a Restaurant carriage in the train set?
Sadly not, though snacks are for sale from the car attendant.
Is there a bar carriage?
@@spannaspinna Nope, but you can get drinks from the carriage attendant.
Hello. Great video. I would like to vote for Ukrainian content.
Thanks! I've got a lot of Ukrainian content recorded, it's a country that I love a lot, but I think that I will refrain from uploading it for the time being.
Price wise, one pays that for a coach seat on Amtrak.
Wow, so this really was a bargain then! 😅

It's a Nightjet Partners train. P.S. I'm a 5th-gen removed decendent of someone(My DPA) from Przemysl.

Hi! Where can I buy the tickets for this train online? Thanks!
Sadly the train doesn't run anymore. :(
ES64U4 have 230km/h top speed :)
i like Prince Polo 🍫
Me too, was good!
Had that been an American locomotive pulling the carriages, the train horn would've woken the deepest of sleepers!
Oh yes! Don't mention it! That horn in US trains is upsetting, aggravating... Whether it's a daytime or an overnight train, I always take a rear carriage when traveling by train in the US. Why on earth are they so obsessed about their horns?!
Berlin Hbf is my 2nd favourite station! Its just so beautiful!
But my first is Utrecht Centraal 🇳🇱 :)
I don’t think you will filming anything in any Ukrainian trains anytime soon
Video's score: 9.9
Thank you! 👍
You won't be getting to the ukraine now. Not with Vladimir Putin kicking off.
I was there a couple of weeks ago thank you, and it was very nice! 😁
