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.

My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

@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.
Show threadMartin HoffmannMay 20
@serac Hm. Must be something refurbished though. Those seats look suspiciously like previous generation ICE seats.
Show threadsimonbp
@partim @serac Yeah, the refitted the 1950s stainless steel heavyweight coaches in the 1990s with very 1990s seats. Those are gradually being phased out with the Siemens Venture sets (roughly, Railjet redesigned for North American crash safety standards).
