Taking the ČD #ČeskéDráhy #ComfortJet from Hamburg-Altona to København H. First time for me. Surprisingly, the train is quite full, even in First class. Wonder if some earlier disruption meant that many people missed the previous DSB train to Copenhagen?

Normally these quite new services would run Praha–København, I assume, but during the delayed tracks work between Hamburg and Berlin, some services apparently have been cut back to just Hamburg–København, or something. Feels weird but excellent to take a Czech train on this route. Siemens vs Talgo comparison…

And yes, there is a ComfortJet dining car, too. Not an old-skool one as used to be the case in ComfortJet consists between Berlin and Prague at least some years ago.

Ride out of Hamburg is pretty comfy (tracks are decent here as well). It's no high-speed ICE but definitely no Talgo 230 either. Noise levels are fine*.

Info system is super nice. Instead of dumb games or ads it is simply explaining all features of the train.

*most noise is from Swedish people being much louder than needed to operate as a human being. It seems to be cultural

I'm still pissed at the #ComfortJet situation btw.

Trip to Berlin by #ComfortJet. Step one: the ComfortJet is cancelled, take any train.

This was predicted last evening. And you'd think DSB, which has spare rolling stock, would put another train in that time slot. Nope: two departures of 500+ person trains just cancelled.

Anyway. Toddler and I found some seat reservations on the ONE reasonable alternative (can't make the earlier one, can't leave too late due to toddler being two #sleeptime).

Not a fun start.

Input needed from #Czech train users: In a #ComfortJet train, is the upgrade to 1st class worth it?
I have the option to purchase 1st class tickets (my employer is paying! it's allowed in the travel policy!) but I still feel a bit cheeky going from 2nd to 1st (am I being classist to myself? I feel like I don't belong there).
It's a 9 hours journey, so comfort does matter.

Apparently no #ComfortJet testrun for me today ...
Obwohl es eigentlich erst im #Fahrplan2026 so richtig losgeht, hatte der #Comfortjet sein Debüt in 🇦🇹 bereits am 6. Oktober. Seither verkehren die RJ 73 und 370 bereits mit den neun-teiligen Garnituren, welche dadurch von #Praha 🇨🇿 über #Wien bis nach #Graz kommen.
