I did this same trip in 2015 and the train now looks renovated. We had seats in an open-plan coach and the people in front of us were so serious and with such hostile faces that we preferred to spend most of the trip in the restaurant. I chose the scallop with fries and my girlfriend the fried eggs with ham and pancakes for dessert. All delicious and admiring the beautiful landscapes. It is a very nice trip. Thanks for the video.

Great video! Nice to see my home base carrier in your video :-) EC Berliner is one of my favorite trains and also one of the trains I travel most often. But I've never tried 2nd class :-D Btw. I hope you enjoyed your stay in my hometown, greetings from Prague :-)

(10:07) Bohemian cuisine is world-famous for its tasty dishes, pastries and desserts. It influenced both cuisines, the Austrian (Viennese) cuisine with flour and desserts (such as: Palatschinken), and the East Bavarian (Upper Palatinate, Lower Bavaria) with meat dishes and dumplings. I suggest every time you catch a train with diner car run by CD you should visite and taste a meat dish with dumplings (I recommend Bohemian dumplings boiled in a napkin above steam) and as dessert filled Palatschinken. And, of course, a czechian beer; I prefer original Budwiser (not to confuse with cleaning water from USA named Budwiser Lager.) - Cheers, Heinz

@NonstopEurotrip 3 года назад

I will definitely try those. I love CD dining cars! 😍

@jmsmilfajt 3 года назад

Sweet home! Imho € 19 is good to be honest, I think that's the cheapest fare available in this relation. Sadly the car you've reserved was from the first wave of refurbishments that was faulty (it was in the news because of DB's complains years ago), other compartment cars (as spotted by the textile handrests) were newer. I personally prefer the open-plan car that the staff moved you to. 😅 Great report! What do you say about the Prague Station's exterior? I think it's a horrible presentation of the city... the new city mayor wants the park to be completely overhauled with a tram stop right next to the entrance.

@NonstopEurotrip 3 года назад

Yes, it was great value! I founds the coaches OK, but not amazing, as you said... and yes, Praha hl.n could do with a refurbishment 😂

@ianmartin6023 Год назад

I remember that was one of the slowest trains I ever took in 2009 in central Europe, between Dresden and Czechia. Maybe faster now. Prague main station was being renovated when I went and I had to go to a station called Holesovic in the suburbs where I bought Czech sausage that gave me severe stomach problems for a week 😒 and the shop wouldn't sell me a bottle of Czech beer.

@NonstopEurotrip Год назад

Well that's an experience you'll never forget 😆

@NonstopEurotrip 2 года назад

@johngaskell1467 3 года назад

Good video . What I noticed at the beginning were the damaged arm rests . This gives me the impression that not all is well with maintenance , confirmed by the air conditioning problem . Also was there no toilet roll dispenser in the toilet ? Felt the fares were too low to guarantee a good level of repair . Having said that , if I were a young traveller on a limited budget I would be happy with the value for money .

@NonstopEurotrip 3 года назад

Yeah, they might have been showing their age a bit (apparently these were the first of the lot to be refurbished) but still very comfortable for the journey I made, and yeah, a good price! ps. there was a toilet roll holder but the main one had run out and they usually place a spare roll on top.

(3:30) The compartment cars look to me like renewed old German express cars (D-Zug). 6 seats instead of the previous 8 in 4th grade (benches). (When the Deutsche Bundesbahn introduced two classes, the old 3rd became the current 2nd and the old 2nd became the current 1. The 4th and 1st were dropped. - Cheers, Heinz

What a delicious restaurant car CD is running on Eurocity trains between Prague and Berlin. After InnoTrans 2022 I want to do a day trip from Berlin to Hamburg and return just to dine on good food with an ever changing view. I emailed CD and customer service responded tickets go on sale 90 days prior to departure but the website doesn't tell me if CD's EC trains will be running on 24/09/222. It's very confusing and I was hoping you could help. Thanks. sam Samuel Augustus Jennings

Don't know about Chiltern as I've not travelled on their loco hauled trains, but there's one thing you can't do on TPE's class 68 & Mk5 trains and that's look out of the rear coach.......and unless you're travelling in 1st class accommodation you can't hear the thrum of the class 68 I would much rather travel on a continental loco hauled train than TPE's version 🤔
