    Superb trip review! Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it with us. I am also really happy that you had a great time with MAV! I believe they have great potential with so many eager, smart people working there, it’s just that the government likes to take them n MAV for granted, making them work with very little. As for the crew telling you not to film….we have a few of those. I actually reported one of the rude ones before. We have a few “rotten apples” in the basket but from my experience the majority are wonderful people. Safe travels and thanks again!

    I have travelled on a MAV sleeper about 5 times now including two return trips between Budapest and Split. It was really superb, made totally by having an old style dining car on board. I had a full dinner and then in the morning a cooked breakfast before arriving in Split. I know having a dining car is very rare but it was busy for much of its journey and the dining car crew and sleeping car attendants didn’t have a very long rest. The sleeping cars were really good indeed with comfy beds and really great air conditioning as you say. Really great!

    I love travelling on the Nightjet but with OeBB introducing their new tariff it is starting to get way too expensive. In the first week of January, I booked a comfort deluxe sleeping compartment for two to travel in June from Amsterdam to Innsbruck - the cost was €628! Single occupation of the same compartment was in excess of €1000. These costs are excessive, especially when you know you are travelling in 30-year old coaches which have not been refurbished.

The CAF ones may look nincer, but they have many smaller issues, like not locking doors, etc.

    As a Hungarian it's great to see an outside perspective. Next time you travel with MÁV you should definitely try a Premium seat car. It has leather recliner seats and a free hot beverage included. Also at the other end of the car there is a buffet you can get snacks or simple hot food like pies. I think it's really cool. I really enjoy it when I travel from Budapest to the countryside.

    This looks to be quite good example of international night train. By combining cars with various destinations into single train, the service shouldn't colide with local traffic so much and it is generally more economical to run longer train at once rather than many short ones. This is the way night trains should be developed, I hope many similar services will be launched in following years in Central Europe.

    • @drdewott9154
      @drdewott9154 8 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah I mean this is how all night trains were done back in the day and even several daytime long distance trains like those from Copenhagen that had carriages bound for places like Amsterdam, Zurich, Brussels, and more all on a single train and being split apart and joined up with other trains at various points. However as low cost airlines became prominent in the 1990's, these kinds of trains starting disappearing all over Europe as the rail was no longer the most affordable and reliable way to travel, but rather the once luxurious plane was.
      Its only in very recent years with more stringent taxation and regulation of air travel across Europe combined with greater incentives to boost rail travel that have spurred a small but steady rennaisance for trains. Services like the one in the video are more so a relic of the trains of the past that have just managed to survive the times despite everything. Likely due to the lower wages in the former East of Iron curtain countries.

My wife and daughter were sent to one compartment for women and me to another with two guys, I thought since we were three we would be together. People were very friendly and one lady went with the guys so we could be together. The chocolate biscuit was so good I have tried to find it ever since, apparently is a traditional treat from the Hungarian railways everyone loves. Scenery through Austria into Switzerland is breathtaking. All in all a very nice trip.

    Uh, Kálmán Imre... I still have PTDS about it. During 2022 summer MÁV decided to swap (or maybe ÖBB asked) a car from the middle of the assembly in the last minute, they started to replace it, but they didn't removed the passengers from the cars to minimize the late, but all cars become hot during the reassembly (it was around 21:00 but still over 30°C, it was a super hot week, and obviously the cars ran on battery during the reassembly without AC). Somebody kicked out a window, other people have get off the train on the assembly area, etc. Also the ÖBB train broke down too so we got an another MÁV train. So instead of 20:40 we started around 04:00 and only travelled until Hegyeshalom because the ÖBB train driver didn't waited our line - I guess it's workday was ended and ÖBB didn't provided a replacement driver. So we had to switch to a small regional train until Vienna (you can guess how the train was looked after the whole international train joined to the regular commuters...) and eventually we reached Münich with an early Railjet from Keleti... I know there was several serious fuckups and this kind of events which was ended in the press are rare, but still.
    Also about the sleeping car: I had a ride once in similar car but to Tranylvania also on top level. That cutout in the corner is super annoying. I'm also around 187, I hate that my legs had to hanging down in that cutout. I don't understand why it is necessary I don't see the added value that the top bed can be tilt up.Also I found that newer MÁV couchette cars have a slightly longer bed (maybe with 1-2 cm), which makes them a slightly bit comfortable. But otherwise they're a good cars and usually I didn't had any complain about the quality of the service. Maybe one thing: for me the pillows are too soft I usually ask for an extra blanket using below the pillow. (I always got it, wasn't any problem about that.) But I prefer hard pillows so it's completely personal thing.

    I travelled on such a Hungarian sleeping car too from Zürich to Budapest and it was very good, like your experience.
    One remarks though for complete information:
    a) I wouldn't be sure if the shower works if you catch a car which features a shower.
    b) On other lines MAV also operates older sleeping cars. The price is a lot cheaper then, as far as I know, but don't expect the same amount of comfort and style. As a railway enthusiast I like the old sleeping cars too. They are in good condition and do their job well plus the price is fair as well. But keep in mind: no air condition (you can open windows though), doesn't run as smooth, is just way older in general. So it's not all the same when taking a night train run by MAV.
    The modern cars are always on the lines to Stuttgart and Zürich.
    Regarding the stock on the other lines I am not sure.
    Nice video as always! Very informative and well done!
    Best regards.

    13:20 - on monday (2 days ago) I've seen one of the new Railjets parked here in Salzburg. I think they get taken in service in a few months, maybe in december 2024? They're still in test mode for their licensing and that's taking most of the time...

    These "Russians" are definitely amazing cars! Very quiet and comfortable, with amazing air conditioning. Also the corridor is heated/air conditioned, and the toilets are connected directly to it, not to the vestibule. These details just show tha they were made for passengers' comfort in extreme temperatures in Russia. Also they are robust and rarely break down.
    Took the Budapest - Berlin Euronight last summer and got another Russian sleeper, but beware: not all of them have electric outlets by every bed. I think the difference is if the car was formerly owned by Lithuanian or Russian railways.
    Two years ago I also took the Slovakian EN to Split in one of their Russian sleepers. Although it was boiling 30+ degrees outside when we arrived, the A/C was working really perfectly and we actually had no idea of the heat until we disembarked.
    I think from the technical point of view, they are definitely better than CAF ones.

    • @jazzkosch5072
      @jazzkosch5072 8 месяцев назад

      re. the electric outlets, it depends. 62 71-90 001 to 004 are ex-LG and had just one "shaving" socket per compartment (in the mirror shelf) until recently. But last year 001 came out withe a fresh REV, where two sockets nearby the reading lamps were added, I guess, that will be the standard for them all. 002...004 are still in almost original state from 1994 and way not too bad for this age, mainly the windows became dull.
      005...009 are ex-RZD and were slightly revamped already by WSBA (foiled walls and doors etc.) around 2015, they got 2 combined 230V/USB sockets spent per compartment.

      Personal rights are highly protected in Hungary. If you film someone and it appears here, you can sue them.

    • @heikozysk233
      @heikozysk233 8 месяцев назад

      Laws can differ between EU(ropean) countries. In general, you can take pics or vids as long as you are on public ground (e.g. walking on public streets in the city) and the people you capture are just part of the scenery. If you single out someone, e.g. film a street performer, (in theory, not saying that many people would comply) you'd often have to ask that person for permission if you want to make that vid publicly available, e.g. on RUclips.
      On private property, e.g. on the train in this case, the "house rules" of the property owner come first. And even if those rules allow you to take and upload videos, the personal rights of the person you take footage of (if you single out them) can overrule the "house rules" of the property owner.
      In nitty gritty detail, this can differ from country to country, so what is legal in the Netherlands may not be legal in Hungary or vice versa.

    What is my opinion about MÁV (Hungarian railway)? I'm a Hungarian railway fan. But the rail is very neglected - while there is always enough money for highways and motorways, there is very little for the rail since decades... The personal transport part is on the brink of collapse. 2nd lines in the countryside are even more neglected and are shut down (a SHAME!!!). There a few positive parts - new doubledeckers (Kiss), the FLIRT flottilla, some line renovations (still 120 km/h max...), but sadly that's all.

    Nice video 👍🏽 About MAV as a Hungarian... well, as long as we don't compare it to Europe's best, it does the job, like you said, but it's nothing special. However, you can consider yourself lucky that you haven't had any service issue, like things broken, not working, etc. which unfortunately is more represenrative of the usual MAV experience. These cars seem relatively decent, but as a Railjet-enjoyer, they're pretty obviously outdated. The main reason why everything worked is becasuse they're relatively new(ly refurbished).
    All in all, I'm glad it went well for you and don't want to take away from your good experience, I just wanted to say that this is more the exception than the rule.
