Here we go! #Trstená --> Davos! I'll call this the #TatryAlpy trip.

First leg: Trstená --> #Kralovany on this roaring diesel train, whose engine is on thirty minutes before departure. We'll follow the #Orava river.

Bye bye beautiful #Tatra!

It's really a #Railbus #Schienenbus. I like the overhead racks. They allow the interior to be perceived as very airy and spacious. You could hold a conference or teach a class in this space.

We are not in a rush... Most of the line is limited to 20-30, max. 50km/h.

It's all very scenic, remote but also alive. People get on and off at every station. This rural line clearly serves the needs of local communities.

#HornáLehota is literally just accessible via this bridge. #TatryAlpy #ZSSK #ZSR #železnice

Arrived in #Kralovny, beautiful station hall. Train to #Trstená is turning back. #Ex606 #Tatran to #Bratislava is announced with 30min delay... I was planning on changing to a faster #IC, this will not be possible anymore. But #Tatran also has a restaurant car, so hopes are high I'll get something to eat.

Also I love the printed carriage position indicators. Childhood memories...

@dominicstucki isn't this a mix of German and Swiss catenaries?

#Ex606 #Tatran ±35' with a Vectron and a beautiful #DiningCar.

Earlier on, an Express in the opposite direction heading to Kosice.

Seen in #Vrutky ... 👀
Parked there since two years apparently.

#Zilina has received some decent infrastructure investment as it looks. New platforms and tracks receiving their finishing touches.

#DiningCar experience did not disappoint! After a few meat and fish intensive days in Poland, I'm happy to find some veggie options. #Ex606 #TATRAN @diningcar

Service is however a bit strange. The staff sat together for a chat at a table, and it's just by walking up to the counter that they made themselves available.

Now seated in the 1st class compartment, as we pass #Puchov. #EC122 to Prague on the other platform. Next stop is #Trencin.

Quite happy about this shot I got in #Trencin...

It's really great to see that I can get a ticket from #Bratislava to #Wien by picking up the ticket in Austria only...
