    *You missed projects in Slovakia:*
    * increasing speed on railway between Bratislava and border with Czechia to 200 km/h
    * reconstruction of Zilina railway node with several railway lines entering the node
    * recent increase of speed in mountainous sections of line between Bratislava - Kosice to 160 km/h

    4:59 or 6:41 forgot to mention Slovakia has mainly two electrification systems - 3 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC
    10:02 RegioJet used mostly Siemens or Bombardier DMUs until several of the units were destroyed in crashes on railway crossings
    10:42 map showing wrong connection to Prague, it should go north through Žilina, then Ostrava, Czech Republic
    11:00 no direct train to Warsaw on the red route for some decade, night trains run through Czech Republic; also showing wrong route to Budapest (blue), it goes further north trough Slovakia
    11:07 map showing wrong route (red) between Bratislava and Komárno, should have used map from 9:40
    11:13 again map showing wrong route (blue) between Prague and Košice
    11:42 Arriva does not operate any regional routes in Slovakia, the only international line (Nitra)-Trenčín-Prague has been suspended indefinitely since 2019
    12:00 the 10 Vectrons are also on lease which ends next year, they will be superseded by 15 Vectrons on new lease (not 30)
    12:24 CityElefant is ČD Class 471, in ZSSK Class 671 is sometimes known as Jánošík
    13:06 know just as Panter in Slovakia, RegioPanter is again ČD name
    13:44 there is, for example, modernisation of Žilina-Košice railway line underway in several places, notably the Žilina station (2 years late, btw.)

      Also missing are 2 REX Lines (REX6 and REX8), which i could consider an interesting link between 2 capitals, as both lines take 1 hour to make the journey. Probably more RJ connections between Austria and Bratislava will be launched once the construction of the tunnel between the VIE Airport and the tracks to bratislava starts and finishes. But those are probably the 2 best connected capitals in Europe with trains (regular service) each ~30 minutes

      @@FlorianHWave There was line 1 and 3 in Petrzalka from 2016 to 2020, number 1 was going to train station and number 3 to Raca, this is why they shortened number 1 only to city center:
      Due to the fact that in the spring of 2020, the approximately two-month-long repair of the tram line in Rača on the section between the Cintorín Rača and Komisarky stops should begin, it will be necessary to ensure the shortening of tram transport to the Cintorín Rača stop.
      Due to the absence of a turning point in this location, the turnover of tram vehicles will have to be solved through a mobile headland. For this purpose, only two-way trams must be dispatched to line No. 3 heading to Rača.
      Since the number of two-way trams is limited due to the economy of procurement and maintenance, we can fully cover only one line with two-way trams, and therefore we chose Petržalka as the final stop at the opposite end of the route, where there is a headland turning point allowing the traffic of only two-way vehicles.
      The unserved part of line No. 3 in the previous version of the line line is served by the redirected line No. 1.
      If we left the operation of line No. 1 from Petržalka to the Main Station, we would not have a sufficient number of two-way trams for Rača and therefore the only solution would be a substitute bus service, which would be neither reliable nor attractive due to the lack of drivers and extensive traffic jams on Račianska Street."
      They never resumed number 1 back to its former route and I don't know why, I guess they're waiting for the new track to be built and after that they won't need the double sided trams here in Petrzalka.

    The only thing good about Slovakia's trains is the fact that students and pensioners can take them for free. And that there's still a lot of regional lines that haven't been disassembled. Otherwise it's a mess, propped up by a few EU-funded new trains. Most of the train stations are an absolute disaster (starting from Bratislava main station...), the online ticketing system is basic and doesn't work half the time, the trains are never on time, most trains are unreliable, old, either too hot or too cold. The legislation and regulatory environment is also a mess, the state operator is forced out of regional services in the pursuit of "free market economy" but the private operator messes up every few years and is replaced by another, while competition on distance trains has actually been anticompetitively erased. The main train line between Bratislava-Žilina-Košice is so bad that ČD won't run their best trains there because the tracks actually damage the trains. There's also no international service, just a bunch of Czech and Austrian trains crossing into Slovakia and the occasional surcharge "Eurocity" from Hungary to Germany.
