Wait, £36 for over 3 hours in first class and included your food and drink too, that's a frigging steal!

@Skawagon 3 года назад

Well, it depends. You can do the same journey with a competing company in very good comfort (but not with this level of the reclining trough) and with comparable service (without the meal included in the price, but with ample options to choose from an affordable menu) for half the price of this ticket. So for a local, the Leo can be a hard sell. And it is. The company was struggling financially even before corona hit and continues to burn cash. But the positive outcome for a passenger is that they focus on delivering a very good level of service to win passenger over.

@spark_6710 3 года назад

@@Skawagon You're so knowledgeable ! And it is a very good analysis there ! But ,if the ride is gonna be more than 2 hrs,maybe 3hrs max ( 3 to 5 hr trip with a chair with better paddings will make a huge difference on my back )I prefer the better chairs 💺! 💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞

@Skawagon 3 года назад

@@spark_6710 I can completely agree with that, but really, the competing product I meant is Business class in Regiojet - running used OEBB coaches, those are coupes for four people - two facing two, so you are in one space with fewer people. And there are quiet coupes to choose there too. Absolute bliss if you have to travel tired. Seats are older, but retrimed and very comfortable very adequate for travel up to three hours.

@user-ib9pz6id5b 3 года назад

Well you need to conider a few things: 1. In czechia is everything cheaper 2. The same trip in the same (or similar) speed you can ride for £7,34 if using RegioJet, Or If you will just sit in the Leo express in the economy class it will cost you 12,02 and it will include wifi and such...So in comparsion to the price, this isn't probably worth it (At least for czechs...)

@samomuransky4455 3 года назад

@@spark_6710 My big problem with LE Premium is that I actually don't find the seat comfortable. Of course it's big, it reclines a lot but I always feel like I'm sinking inside it and can't find a comfortable way to sit in it. I do love their business class (mid-tier class between economy and premium), it's my favourite product on Czech railways. Simple but very pleasant.

I enjoy your videos; were I 50 years younger, I could replicate some of the trips; as it is, this is a pretty good substitute. I have a couple of suggestions. First of all, you might create a series of compilations of what are, in your opinion, the best train rides in each country you've visited so that potential visitors can plan an itinerary; secondly, you might focus for one short video on the mechanics of booking the train reservations, picking the best carrier, and purchasing tickets, as well as tips on how to save money doing it. Thanks.

@frantisekvtelensky820 3 года назад

I'm from the Czech Republic, so thx for this amazing review! Leo(s) are fantastic and many people love them! But believe me, that our trains here were not always like that. The situation was sometimes disgraceful as they were too many out-of-date trains (esp. from the era of occupation), dirty and "smelly". Everything started slowly getting better after 2000 when Regio Jet came on the scene. They were first real concurrent for České Dráhy with much more comfort, so ČD's quality must have been improved over the years quite drastically as well (buying new vehicles, locomotives, many reconstructions, etc.)! Leo Ex is the youngest private company. Those 3, ČD, RJ and Leo, are the main ones and there's a big competition between them, which is great for us, customers. This continuously helps to improve standards of travelling by train here, which is good cause trains have such a long history here in the CZ. :) Wish you many happy kilometres/miles and stay safe, man! :)

@that90skid72 2 года назад

Czechs followed the best model: keep the national historic operator while allowing others to compete. This is also what the UK should have done.

@JCech40 Год назад

@@that90skid72 and what did the UK do instead?

@that90skid72 Год назад

@J. Čech Close down British Rail and privatize literally everything, from rolling stock to signals tracks etc. Allowing for private operators to compete against the historical national operator is the best solution. It's as if CD ceased existing altogether

Oh ...I HEAR YOU !! LOL.I have been planning our trip to Wales & England ( with my mom ), your rail ways & systems & prices are not great at all !!! It's so ~strange ! For instance,if I wanna go to the countryside there ,say Caernarfon, it makes sense for us to go there from Saundersfoot, or somewhere closer, but it'll take one hr longer ( on a train ) & more money ! I can't put my mom on a train for a long hr trip like 4 ,5 hrs too often as she gets real tired ,then our trip will need more rests = delays & $$$ ,so we have to go back to Cardiff & stay there for another night & go to Caernarfon from there !! Same thing goes to England ! We wanted to visit Cornwall & Devon ,but again ,faster & shorter trips from Londonby trains ,otherwise we'll have to fly , or drive ! If I drive ,everything will be so much faster & cheaper there in Britain & U.K. ! I am an excellent driver !! I drive like a man ! Lol. But, I am not stupid to drive in unfamiliar places !!! Especially I'll be the sole driver ! Besides ,everything will be on opposite side ( left side of the streets & freeways & highways ,then driving in the right seat !! ) !! If I can practice that for like 2 weeks ahead ,I might consider it ,but no luxury of that ! Lol. I was disappointed by those !! I thought that the train system was more advanced & sensible & reasonable in Wales & England !!! Not sure of Scotland, or Ireland, wonder if it's the same or better ,or worse !!? Lol.😫😞💜🥁🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞

Great video, as always! As of value, Czech trains are amazing:) I spent a couple of months in Czechia, and as a student, I got a student card which comes with a 75% discount on public transport. Since restaurants were closed due to the lockdown, the only place to eat and drink except my flat were RegioJet and Leo Express trains. It goes without saying I spent much of my semester onboard these trains between Ostrava and Prague enjoying the views, excellent food, and Czech beer onboard premium class (which did cost me about 4 EUR one way with the student card). Good times.

Thank you for a great review ! The on-board service, despite the lack of all choices, was great ! However, and for me, the SNCF TGVs are incomparably the very best trains for first class seats. Whilst SNCF on-board catering is now poor, the ride of the TGV is fantastic, especially when running flat out ! The OBB RailJets are also wonderful, but its the SNCF who have invested so heavily in high speed lines, and the resulting fast trains and short journey times are incomparable.

Another great video from your 2020 Summer in Europe and a great reveal on the standards of comfort offered by Leo Express and the Stadler Flirt series of trains. Happy Easter, by the way! I had a little chuckle when I saw the water feature in the Plaza at Ostrava. I wonder how many travellers have done a "Saint Peter" on this during dull lighting conditions. Reminded me of a time during my courier days when I did just that enroute to a delivery because of a distraction and went Splash!, much to the mirth of passers-by. What a disappointment you couldn't get the tiramasu to follow the duck and vegetables! I noticed the coffee following the two glasses of red (Good boy for wanting to keep relatively sober!) but I think I would have passed on the Cola (unless the airconditioning wasn't working). For entertainment downunder this Saturday evening, on "The Box" we had Great Scenic Rail Journeys with the dour Bill Nighy and this episode was on the Highland Line from Inverness to Edinburgh during winter. Your home Line! As well as this, just before viewing your video, I watched Pannier P Productions coverage of today's shuttle trips between Albury and Gerogery with the beautifully restored Pacific Loco 3801. So all in all a pleasant Easter Saturday for me. Our clocks go back one hour tonight to normal Eastern Standard Time, so I'm off to bed to get an extra hour's snooze. Looking forward to your next offering.

That's one of the things the Czechs do best! Also, don't feel too badly about not being served "desert"... I'm thinking a mouthful of sand might not have been that flavorful, anyway. DeSSert, on the other hand, might have been that lovely tiramisu :) The caliber and quality of your videos has grown exponentially since I first stumbled upon your channel, and you should be congratulated for taking an idea and turning it into something so incredibly professional and enjoyable (which it has always been, from the very start). Congrats, my friend! Well done!

As an Irish expat in Slovakia, LeoExpress is the most comfortable way to get from Poprad in Slovakia to Prague (ca. 7.5 hours). The value is also good, though Premium prices can get above €90 one way from Prague on a Sunday. Still good value compared with £450 off-peak 1st Class London to Newcastle return. (For info. the Poprad - Prague one-way was €55 on the trip I made - mid-week February.)
