That’s what you get when Jancura, a self-proclaimed authority on absolutely everything to do with trains and railways, claims that 15-year-old retired locomotives from Italy are in much better condition than the 3-year-old ones at Czech Railways, then couples them with 8-10 carriages that are much lighter than anything Czech Railways runs, carriages that don’t even have batteries, so when the power from the wires drops there is no light, no heating, nothing at all, and on top of that he of course runs with both pantographs raised, probably just to prove he can afford it…
And then the night train arrives in Prague about 7 hours late. It’s a bad, ugly, nasty thing, to quote a classic. A train tearing down the overhead wires happens quite often, a few times a day across the whole country. But one train tearing them down twice within 100 km and in less than an hour, that’s pretty brutal. Everyone knows they do it so that those locomotives can handle the load.
It’s only a matter of time before people on the train can play another round of “Don’t Get Angry, Man” to calm down and knock the yellow pieces back home. I expect Jancura to issue a press release saying it was sabotage by the Blues and to offer credit for a new trip, because everyone appreciates losing half a day. On top of that he’ll threaten to take it all the way to Strasbourg, to international arbitration, and that within a year and a day RegioJet will be the only carrier far and wide.
Railway communism. Golden Yellow communists. Just so I’m not only criticizing, according to Mr. Kojak it isn’t RegioJet’s fault, but rather the infrastructure manager’s ( 👻 RIP – this server didn’t even survive its own hosting.)
