This is just suitably funny, and you can see the crowd is having a laugh in the video!
However... Ding-ding-dong-dinnnng!
As Praha Hlavní nádraží is right next to where I am staying 😀
Here's where I am going later https://openrailwaymap.org/?style=maxspeed&lat=48.432389796908886&lon=14.522552490234375&zoom=10
