I ride with this train regularly as it is fairly cheap for students when booking far in advance. The wifi has 50/50 chance of working just fine or not at all... same with the anouncements. You just need to get lucky with these trains.
0:36 Hello, Simon. I can tell you something about this feature. It originally took place in the "Central" shopping mall in Kladno, which is a town situated about 25 kilometres from Prague and Lego has a big plant there. After few years, they removed it to the Prague main train station. Btw. I watch You from Kladno, because it is my hometown. ;)
When I travelled to Ukraine in 2019 i rode back från Lviv to Kosice in Slovakia over the border station in Cop/Cierna nad Tisou. NO photos of the station track side and the trains were allowed but I got som nice photos and films from the morning ride over the Carpathians
Thanks for the awesome video! 180 EUR for this service?! That’s outrageous, that’s the same as the national carriers then, and there the night fleet is considerably better. There has been talk of a BUD-VIE-MUC night service by RegioJet, n I’ve been looking forward to it, but if this is the price of a private cabin then I’ll stick with MÁV-Start’s EuroNight. Cheaper n better fleet. 😮😮😮
Hello I recommend for you to try and try out the new Ukrainian train Kyiv-Budapest because this train uses not RIC wagons but couchette(4 beds in a room) and luxury wagons(2 beds in one room) I don’t know how they did that since normal sleeper wagons can’t change bogies but anyway I encourage you to try it
Ordinary coaches also could change bogies, for example, route between Bucharest and Kishinev is served with ordinary wagons, and on Moldovian side of the boarder it changes bogies to european
Yes the announcement at night are anoying. But still nice journey. Did so many trips to ukraine back in the days. Once we got stucked in chop for 2 nights. There is really nothing to do😅
In my opinion this coupe for almost 200€ is not good deal. You can get much better service with ČD coupe with en-suite bathroom, better breakfast [when traveling in coach served by JLV (because some of the coaches on EN443 are served by WGS Košice with worse service)], better personal and much better coaches.
15th comment about the photos: Some of these locomotives may be used for military transport too. And when the russians wanna attack these trains (if thery are not totally dumb) they are about to check the train (and the locomotive) for weak points. And these weak points may be found on these photos.
I think it's more about location, and the other non-train things that may be at the border at that moment Russian missiles aren't atom-precise after all to shoot specific places on some train
Yes, Imagine travelling to Ukraine, a country that's been at war since February 2022 since it was invaded by russia and being served a stale croissant.
@@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe bro Chop is practically ON the Slovakian border, considering it went from Czechia and Slovakia there should not be a problem getting normal croissants.
Dearest Simon, Have you considered sending an email to complain about the PA announcement and the price? I believe there are extra costs incurred while travelling to a country at war. Maybe if you contact the Ukrainian or Russian government, you could inform them you are a RUclips vlogger and they could organize a partial refund for you? Even though the war zone is over 780 kilometers from Chop, maybe they could show some consideration for yourself and your fellow RUclipsrs. Maybe send a drone in the air that has a banner attached that says "LIKE 😂 & SUBSCRIBE 👍👍".
😂 why would anyone write this ? Chop is directly on Slovakian borders, there’s no reason for the war to affect this train. You really sound like a Russian troll trying to spread hatred all around
maybe in America it is. I don’t understand why europeans should care about leaving twitter because someone might get offended due to its connections with current president. Not using twitter is also an statement.

A good , honest report as always ! I can't get over how incredibly cheap the food prices were on this Rego Jet were !
I was so happy when I saw this video because I am searching for a review about this train for weeks!

I just checked the tickets, for the same day you show in video, its 110 euro now. the price really fluctuates
Chop is where the standard gauge ends.
You be careful there

@@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel lol. true.
Many Ukrainian locos are Soviet hand-me-downs, so the Russians would know a lot about them anyway.
7:05 Regiojet croissants are horrible.

@@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe imagine thinking that Ukraine is not having fresh pastries because of war (which in fact takes place 1500km further xD)

please consider leaving twitter and move to Bluesky since still being twitter really is a political statement at this moment.
