(I recommend clicking on it so you can see it in a higher resolution) I couldn’t get a closer shot because I didn’t feel like going onto the platform (I didn’t even have a ticket), but at least you can see the sign Cesky Tesin there, so you can be sure I’m not feeding you any lies (I wouldn’t dare, nor would I be capable of it) 😀
Anyway, I don’t really get this move by Czech Railways. Why are they bringing in RegioNova trains here for a month to run twice an hour – which gives you roughly 4-8 carriages (I don’t know about the mornings and other rush hours, when the old trains used to run here with 5 carriages – will there be 6 carriages now?) – when in June brand new trains from Poland are supposed to arrive? And on top of that, the RegioNova trains are more of a step backwards – they may look better, but they are rebuilt old trains, reportedly more dangerous and harder to handle according to the train drivers who have driven them and could compare, there is less room inside, and because of the reduced safety they reportedly have a lower maximum speed.
And I’m not even talking about the hundreds of millions that go into rebuilding these trains..but so that I’m not just criticizing, they are barrier-free, they announce the station you are at, and they have new toilets 😀 . And that’s about all there is to it. Personally, I would find a better use for that money 🙂
PS: Sometime in the afternoon the old trains were running here again, so I don’t know..
