#Vlakend was too short, but what else should I have expected?! My inner nerd liked all classic 🇨🇿 DMU, the branch lines and the pleasant atmosphere aboard. However, my more reasonable part of me would be happy if also these lines would get a more modern, sustainable and inclusive rail traffic.

I haven't tooted the details. In this case, pictures are more expressive than documenting every train I have taken. It was in place of many other branch lines I'd suppose.

From Vienna, #ÖBB 's #Nightjet 446 is taking me towards home. Or it should. This time, I have booked a ticket on the new Railjet of the second generation for Vienna-Bregenz. It will be fine, I thought. Until the host of my carriage explained that not one single bed in that carriage can be used. As the train is fully booked, there is no alternative tonight. By the way: NJ 466 to Zurich woudln't have been better. 60 minutes of delay and a downgraded carriage. #Vlakend
At Znojmo, it is already time to leave the last ČD train. It is now #ÖBB 's task to get me home: The first leg is the 🇨🇿🇦🇹 #CrossBorderRail service from Znojmo to Vienna. #Vlakend
As there haven't been any Tatras in Olomouc, I have to do a (unfortunately very short) stopover in #Brno. #Vlakend
Eastern 🇨🇿 Czechia reminds me more of my 🇨🇭 home than I have expected... #Vlakend
There are many stations with an underpass to an island platform. However, if your train is departing from a track in between, you cannot use the underpass and still have to cross the tracks close to the station building. It takes a little getting used to these stations, espacially when the door opens on the side of the trough train tracks by mistake. 🥴 #Vlakend
Beautiful #Olomouc has a nice tram network with mostly single carriages (at least on weekends). Unfortunately, the branch to Nová Ulice is closed until the end of 2024, so I couldn't do all lines. #Vlakend
Červenka's station hall is the most green one that I have seen so far. Do you know an even greener one!? #Vlakend
I am back on the main lines (or at least almost 😉), but taking slow #FensterAuf trains only. #Vlakend
It is getting dark quite early again... #Vlakend
