It’s hard to convey how silly this is

The trip costs 500 HUF, less than 2 Euro

@jon wow this might be the worst alt text ever ngl. just write “picture” at this point
@byte kindly: I’m trying to live post from a journey. If you’d sooner I posted nothing at all, please just say that.
@jon Looks like Harzquerbahn: Slow and similar amount of passengers.
@jon a woodstove? In the cabin? Are the passengers supposed to keep it burning?
@ReneDamkot I don’t know if it’s ever used! Not in use today anyway
@jon Silly? This seems great! And cosy with the fireplaces and wooden benches. Could function as a sauna with some adjustments.
@aslakr @jon An extra carriage might do the trick.
@hans_zelf @aslakr @jon Is that deep enough for Hungary's national sport, though? https://time.com/6996977/hungary-water-polo-olympics-history/
How Did Hungary Get So Good at Water Polo?

The national team is looking for its 10th Olympic gold medal.

@hans_zelf @aslakr @jon I mean, it is something you can get in Lithuania (around 800eur or up, depending on how far/long you wanna go and stuff)

@ignaloidas @hans_zelf @aslakr I've heard there is one in Czechia too, operated by Gephard
@jon @ignaloidas @hans_zelf I would be really disapointed if there isn't one in Finland. It should off course be part of their night trains, if it isn't already.

@ignaloidas If you pay, would they at least clean the sauna? @jon @aslakr @hans_zelf

@aslakr @jon Take a look at where this train operates. It’s between Orbán’s stadium, and the middle of nowhere.

@leckse @jon Perfect for a sauna train!
@aslakr @jon Lithuanians (Aukštaitijos siaurasis geležinkelis) have one:
@jon best railway line in hungary is the Gyermekvasut. Operated by children. Very “pioner”.

@jon I'm kind of disappointed. I thought Orban had learned something from his fellow dictators.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un would find this pathetic.

@interrailinfosvenska @jon I'd like to think that if this were Poland, they would've at least invested into reopening the actual railway that ran through here
@jon under TEN-T is this classed as a core or additional route?
@jon
Were you allowed to take the bike?
@samy @jon Why not? It’s foldable.
@leckse @jon True. But it wasn’t folded when the train arrived in the video. So I was just wondering. But obviously there weren’t many passengers anyway.
@samy @leckse I wanted to behave nicely, so they’d suspect no political motive!
@samy folded, yes 😆
@jon Sweet! We have one in our local park like that😉
@jon Did you take it all the way to Puskás Akadémia?
