For this journey I took ZSSK Sleeper from Bratislava to Košice. This service called R (Rýchlik / Fast train) Gemeran Poľana connecting Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia, with Košice (the second-largest city in Slovakia) and Prešov. This train runs on southern route along the Hungarian border.

Mockrát díky! No je vidět že ty vozy jsou z 90. let, asi už by potřebovaly omladit, minimálně doplnit zásuvky a lepší zamykání dveří (podobně jako ČD WLABmee). Ale co musím pochválit je opravdu pohodlná postel a celkem dost prostoru v kupé :-)

Pekné video :) Už dlhšie sa chystám spodnou trasou (ja som zo SNV). Veľká škoda, že cez deň nejde ďaľší vlak, ako kedysi - vidieť okolie, stanice. Pred necelým mesiacom som chcel ísť tým nočákom - ale opačne - Z KE do BA. Na poslednú chvíľu som to zmenil a šiel hornou trasou zo Spišskej. Dôvod - najprv by som rád videl okolie :) Avšak verím, že raz skúsim aj nočný vlak :)

Hi, Pete. A nice trip. Normally the train changes the direction at Nové Zámky station. Due to track works between Šurany and Levice, the train rides alternative route / detour via Štúrovo. (pity the night, the Štúrovo - Levice branch line offers some nostalgia feelings) I would like answer the other question of the viewers, but I am lazy to write separately. No dining car: no demand for, or the demand does not offer an enough profit for it. Our costumers are satisfied by "párky a pivo" (wiener & beer) from the station buffets. No couchette: once again, knowing, who are the main costumers on this train, they book 1st class sleeper (the expensive option) or standart coach (the cheapest option). And this is the reason, why are there open saloon coaches... some passengers, always two, locked the 8 seat (2 benches á 4) comparment for themselves and the later passengers overcrowded the corridors... Then the railway company got decided, only: sleepers open space 2nd luggage van (however, I remember from my student ages, that the standart night train used to be sorted of sleepers, 2nd class couchettes, 1st class seat comparment, 2nd class seat comparment and a luggage van, sleepers and couchettes had a steward and the passengers would buy snacks and drinks from the steward's cabin. The company, as others all around the World, is cutting the corners. They cannot have fully staffed / equipped coaches, if the Eastern wealthiest costumers are poorer than the Western European poorest...

Thank so much for watching and your explanation. I've also informed about the diverse route from the attendant. Btw. The original reason for my trip was the WLAB sleeper cars, but it wasn't until I was on the train that I found out that on Sundays the line is operated by the newer WLABmee cars. But it doesn't matter, I'll choose a different day next time :-)

I took this train in the opposite direction from Kosice to Bratislava on the way back from Uzhhorod. It's good to see the price is still roughly the same. Personally I think the value is pretty good considering you save on a night's accommodation. Not sure if they still do it but felt like there was some stuff going on at Zilina because the noise woke me up.
@PeteBrandy
@PeteBrandy Жыл бұрын
I think the same that the value is pretty good. As for your journey, there are several night trains between Košice and Bratislava. Your train was probably a night train to Prague with a direct car to Bratislava, this train continues in a different way (from Žilina in the direction of Ostrava), so the through car to Bratislava was disconnected at the station Žilina and then joined the RR (Regional Express) to Bratislava.

S nočními vlaky mám zkušenost jen s rychlíkem Excelsior, který bohužel zrušili. Do spacího vozu mi lístek neprodali, tak jsem si kupoval vždycky jedničku (jezdilo AB) a srazil jsem si sedačky, takže takový provizorní lehátko. Celkem nechápu, proč tak ruší noční vlaky. Například padne 21. hodina a z Trutnova se vlakem už nedostaneš, protože poslední jede ve 20:40.

Je to škoda, že u nás nejezdí žádné noční vnitrostátní vlaky, třeba z Chebu do Stravy apod. Myslím, že klientela by se našla a klidně by tam stačily i ty starší WLAB, co mají ČD jako záložní. V tomto je to na Slovensku lepší, ještě jezdí noční vlak severní trasou (Tatran-Zemplín), odjížděl chvíli po nás.
