Does anybody know if the EC177 Berlin - Praha still has the original Czech style Restaurant?! @diningcar

https://www.cd.cz/en/vlak/177/4.6.2025/8002553/12.38/5457076/19.23/ says that the type is WRmz 815 which seems like the old ones. However, in August there’s a different type scheduled. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll try to fit it in on my next #interrail trip. #knödelexpress

Train EC 177 Berliner | ČD

@interrailinfosvenska @diningcar @legrex Getting rid of old-style restaurant cars is such an own goal by ČD. I am sure Siemens can manage to build a traditional restaurant car interior into a Viaggio Comfort frame, if the customer just asks for a such. (Otherwise I love the new trains.)

But it might be completely unrealistic of course, possibly their traditional dining cars are huge loss makers. Almost empty much of the time, doesn't attract casual customers because looks too expensive?

@tml @diningcar @legrex it’s space that could be used for a seat for a paying traveler. And selling pre-made food requires less staff than cooking meals.
