Very interesting review of this part of Eastern Europe. I was a little surprised at the time duration for this journey until you revealed the border crossing delays encountered. The interior of the carriages of this train showed quite a kaleidoscope of decor and facilities, some of which could go down well here in Australia. You did well with the seat in which you travelled. Looks almost regal class! Thanks again for revealing a little known part of the world to me. Looking forward to next week's offering.
Nice ride into Romania! Indeed we have problems with catering and such because when CFR had restaurant cars, the items of food and drink were expensive so most people avoided them and brought their own things onto the train! That pentium label should give you an idea how old these cars are :)) cfr have built in the past 2-3 years some amezing coaches (blueprints from French Rail) but for other Romanian routs! if you plan on doing other Romanian trips in the future, i’d recomend you go further from Timisoara to Bucharest to see stunning scenes as the train goes next to the Danube for 1h and some other amezing sites or chech trains routs that go through the mountains, you’ll love them! Cheers!
I travelled from Vienna to Bucharest 3 years ago. At the Romanian border a restaurant car was added and it was the best train meal ever. Freshly cooked chicken with salad and a great selection of beer! But it was slow, very very slow!
Wow, the Budapest station was stunning! I'm with you, Dylan -- I'm shocked that a 16-hour long train journey would have no catering option and no couchette coach or sleeper. Thanks for taking us along, Dylan. See you next video!
Budapest station looks great. Too bad you didn't have enough time to explore the shops and restaurants. Hungarian food is superb, been eating it most of my 74 years! The other half of my ancestry is proud of the liquid refreshments from Scotland. Can't even think about trying haggis, ewww.
The enormous arch of the Budapest East station was very impressive. This seemed to be a pleasant journey across the flat Hungarian plains and in a mostly unfilled, quiet car (until the conductor came in to play loud music on his radio. I never heard of such a thing . At least it makes the trip unique). They need to fix that food situation for a 16 hour trip.
Thank you, a very interesting video. I had planned a journey from Frankfurt to Varna (on the Black Sea), with short stays at Nuremberg, Bratislava, Budapest, Timisoara, Bucharest and Varna. So this video was particularly interesting to me.
During the war in Jugoslavia I travelled from Buchuresti Nord to Timisoara and back, on the way up there was a restaurant in the train with good quality on everything but going back there was nothing to be had at all. Going north I also met a woman of 20 who was studying to get a dentist at the university in Buchurest and when talking to me it was the first time she used her English "sharp", she left the train in Orsova and after that a ten year old girl had to try her luck with English to the man in the corner very cute.
Good to see you at this part of the world. :-) Budapest to Békéscsaba were my weekly transport route for decades. Unfortunate that route were renewed few years ago and capable of 160km/h, the trains still not enabled to run at full speed. As you mentioned the hungarian carriage is quite modern. That is a good feeback from a travel enthousiastic like you. :-) The Hungarian goverment decided several years ago to bring the manufacturing, planning of the carriages back to Hungary to replace the old IC carriages. After several years of iteration, licensing, the IC+ carriages family are ready with several arrangements (1st, 2nd class, bistro, restaurant, 1+ premium, mixed 1st and 2nd) already running on hungarian and international routes. 20 + 35 cars are already running, another 35 are under construction and a controller car is under development (think am OBB Railjet style controller car ;-)).
Love your clips. CFR has only 2 restaurant cars if you can believe it None of them goes out of the country. And there are no couchettes during the day Hope u ll post more clips from Romania
Great video Dylan - thanks. Keleti Station sure is beautiful - I think the grandeur of the train hall is partly due to it not covering many tracks - the verticality of it makes it like a real cathedral of railways! I love the retro feel of the first class carriage and the armchair seats look so comfortable. The curtain material with the railway logo is special too. Just a shame about the catering, but one can be prepared for that as you say.
Keep up the good work, Dylan. And enjoy the old comfy armchairs while you can. Soon you'll be able to find them on heritage railways. I've been a dedicated user of international (Germany to UK and back) rail travel, it's still the best way to travel within Europe.
Dylan, it was great to see you're making reviews in our country, visit Hungary more frequently! :) For the next time, I suggest you trying IC407 Corona from Budapest to Brasov with Hungarian - currently ex-WSBA - couchettes, sleepers and dining car or EN462 Kálmán Imre from Budapest to München/Zürich with CAF couchettes and sleepers (and dining car, once COVID-state gets better).
Another delightful and informative video, thank you. But I repeat my request to you Dylan for a review of the Trans Siberian Express at some point in the future.
Another great video but the train, not so much. I'm glad the seats were comfortable but the rest of the train and staff were a bit below par in my view. Still, I do love exploring so keep 'em coming!
We did this same journey in 2017 through to Bucharest and the lack of catering was a surprise to us but a guy got on the train with a basket full of sandwiches and drinks about seven hours into the journey that was a godsend. Would not do it again. 👍👍🇦🇺
Hi Dylan - I enjoyed your insight into this Hungarian/Romanian hybrid train. The architecture of Budapest East reminded me of the Gare du Nord in Paris in the 1970s. Interestingly, your footage included a glimpse of an ex-SNCF “fraise/vanille” DMU unit on the right as you pulled into Timisoara. I was surprised to see it - I thought they’d all been scrapped! They used to ply the route between Paris & Boulogne Hoverport in the 70s/80s. Back on topic - I’d love to do this journey, but I’d go through to Bucharest. Stay safe.
Catch 22. Train catering is pricier than supermarkets, so folk bring their own unless they want a full meal mid-trip. Fewer drink and snack sales mean the price goes up or catering vanishes. Even station shops, pricey by shop standards, undercut train catering. Behind some station shop chains lurketh a rail operator, however.
I’m sure those of us who encouraged narration over subtitles are all very happy. You have a pleasant, “listenable” voice, and I can enjoy everything on the screen, not just watching the very bottom where subtitles appear. Cheers!
I think I noticed a couple of ex-SNCF Autorails, still in their original red and off-white livery as you pulled in at the end of your journey. A little taste of home for me!!
Great trip, great seat, and great landscape. I think border check make the trip bit longer but feel the difference between the Domestic trip or Schengen trip. Really appreciate that you added the subtitle in this video.
That museum sounds up my street too. Soviet aircraft were so interesting. I enjoy these videos from Eastern Europe, I don't know a lot about their railways and the rolling stock is always a bit different
This was an interesting journey Dylan. I'll don't think it'll be on my list. Your seats were gorgeous, the rest of the train, not so much. The price was good, but considering lack of food & an hour lost for Visa check (which I understand), I don't think it's for me. Lucky that you are young, healthy & brave. Me, not so much. Stay safe. I'll be watching.
Beautiful station in Budapest! The train was quite empty so I assume the border crossing would take a lot longer at a non-covid time. And I’m not sure that the toilet review was reassuring if you can say “I’ve seen worse”!
Ohh you did this here ,too !! Lol. I missed this one ! Sorry ! I'm planning to visit Budapest this summer after visiting Wales & England ,possibly Italy !!! Budapest is gorgeous !!! 😍 👍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🚈💕💞
The price surprised me, being American sounds like a bargain. Would be amazing to have European style rail service here. Fantastic way to travel. My Daddy worked for railroad till the mid 60's. One perk free rail travel, the best of times.
Lucky you haved one of the best CFR class 1. Rest of the wagons are in a such poor condition like the national Romanian company...i hope you enjoyed in Romania.
"Ancient Pentium laptops" -- yikes, I can remember when Pentium was the last word in modernity -- I guess I'm pretty ancient now! But definitely a fascinating journey, I'm sorry I never got to see that spectacular station in Budapest when I was there (arrived by air, left by cruise).
That trip was interesting. But fact to say. If I had to go longer than 5 hours, I'd opt for carriage room or a sleeper room if possible. Stay safe please.
I just watched an old TV movie ' Windmills of God ' Jaclyn Smith & Robert Wagner are in .Such a good movie for free on Y.T.( part 1 & 2 ) and filmed in Romania !! I'd love to go to Eastern European countries someday soon !!! Fascinating countries & people !!! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🚈💕💞
The way you pronounce Lőkösháza resembles Lukácsháza, which is not fully a border town, there are 2 villages between it and the border, but it’s by the Austrian border. Just an interesting info. As an English speaker, you of course butcher all the foreign names, but I’m proud of you for trying your best!
@@andreawoelke indeed, but it's a common sight to them mainly due to the lack of funds they receive for maintenance, and also because of the people that ride on these coaches. :'(
I think in this train it is possible to come across some conductors not regularly seen elsewhere. I took this train from Bucharest to Budapest and one of the Romanian conductors was stoned!
Hi! Very interesting video! I really liked those 90's style coaches. The difference between MAV and CFR is notorious! One question: was your passport stamped because of Brexit? EU passports get stamped as well at the boundary?
The reason the toilets were ok is the Hungarians had serviced them in Budapest. Try the train in the reverse direction when it's 11 hours into the journey...
Could you let us know what happens during the border check? I’m about to do this journey as a non-EU citizen and I’m quite nervous about the border crossing as I’ve never done this by train before
Very well-thought out video available on this part of Europe; Would like to know more about Croatia, Albania and present day Macedonia! Most everything about the former east-block is anti-Warsaw Pact propaganda with emphasis on the superiority of the west in general and the inevitable triumph of the USA!
Had to laugh at the Myspace AOL quip...I actually have what can only be described as a premium AOL email address which was offered £900 for back in 1999 !!
If you like the view out the back of a train then you shouldve stayed in Scotland and applied to be a guard 😅😅 When I'm not doing tickets, the back cab is my office. And yes, if I were to start playing a personal radio loudly in the middle of a first class carriage I'd probably have some explaining to do to my team managers 🤣🤣
10:05 Only 105 km/h, too slow for a main route on a long distance train! 11:52 Whoops, the car is faster than the train! So for short to medium distance journeys, it would be more practical and beneficial to drive...
Oh, so you live in Budapest? As a Canadian, I find it interesting how Euros seem to readily move to and live in other European countries much like I would move from one province to another, here in the Great White North.
Apart from the British Empire English is spoken nowhere and the countries are really different. British subjects cannot appreciate the convenience of Schengen either
@@DylansTravelReports Oh...you do. I mean, I knew that you're a Brit. It's just that, at the start of this vid, you referred to your apartment in Budapest, so...

16 hours by train from Budapest to Bucharest that's a lot ! From my city of Warsaw it takes less than 6 hours to get to Berlin and 7 hours to Vienna !
and from Budapest to Vienna only 2 hours and 38 minutes with railjet trains!
My ancestors lived in Arad for many generations. I hope to visit someday and see where my grandfather lived as a child.
It's customary in Romania for the conductor to enter each carriage and play some music or offer out some food as a sign of good custom.
I’m sure those of us who encouraged narration over subtitles are all very happy. You have a pleasant, “listenable” voice, and I can enjoy everything on the screen, not just watching the very bottom where subtitles appear. Cheers!

Great trip report - thanks!

Great to see the old SNCF coaches have found a home. Shame about the lack of catering. I'm surprised no private enterprise has filled the gap.
These are not old SNCF coaches. Only the interior design is based upon them. The CFR 10-91 series was built in mid 2000s by Astra Arad.

Nothing says qualitative reporting quite like an opening shot of minion pillows.
Always interesting as well as- educational..
Did this ride today in opposite route with a stopover in Arad.
The reason the toilets were ok is the Hungarians had serviced them in Budapest. Try the train in the reverse direction when it's 11 hours into the journey...

I have a question did you buy your train ticket through MÁV ???
I bought it through CFR Călători!
In the old days there were almost on all international trains a dining car attached. Nowadays its probably simply not economical anymore.
Budapest East features in 'Black Widow', I believe.
Hi, at 14min 30s, the red and white train looks suspiciously like old French X4500 autorails.
