First coach is for checked luggage, the second one is this seater car. It was empty and locked but with the lights on the entire way I think. Then the sleeper cars.

Lounge cars with WiFi on each side of the dining car, followed by, well, the other half of the train. At some stations we would stop twice, first for the sleeper, then for the seated cars.

Martin Hoffmann@serac Looks like you got a new Siemens set? Pity. The older LRC carriages are real nice.
@partim
I'm not familiar with the rolling stock over here, but I think we got an old one. Some of the oncoming trains seem to be newer.

@serac Hm. Must be something refurbished though. Those seats look suspiciously like previous generation ICE seats.
