I took this train mid january and it was quite comfortable in winter, with a lot of snow inside in between the cars. I also had to walk 3.5 cars to find a working toilet the whole trip.

The train itself was announced with a 60 minutes delay in Przemysl but ended up showing in the station just 15 minutes late, so some people very likely missed the train as no announcements were made (i think the system was not working) and the train just didn't show on the station screens for some reason.
It was -10C outside, I was waiting in the corridor at 2:45 on your video and i was lucky I randomly decided to go outside film the ukrainian sleeper train when I saw mine was there, ran to the platform and boarded just in time.

Finally, for the shunting in Wroclaw, i was at the back window and it was quite fun as we got shunted back far away by a SU4220 to change to another platform going through the sorting tracks. We only stayed a couple minutes once we attatched since we were already pretty late. Maybe i should go to Swinoujscie next time.

This video is so convenient for me, I moved to Leipzig less than a month ago and had been looking at this train (well, in reverse, but you know).
Great and informative video as usual! 🫶

Great job, I did this trip in reverse from Leipzig to Krakow in February and I found it to be quite pleasant though we did end up with quite a lengthy wait in Wroclaw before we could switch from the Siemens Vectron to the PKP locomotive

Nice one, I could be wrong but there used to be PKP carriages that went to Amsterdam.

Great video.

I think the reason that the air conditioning wasn't so good after Wrocław was mainly that it couldn't run when there was no locomotive attached.

8:20 Unfortunately, it was found that in previous years, many carriages that were modernized to run at 160 km/h, that retained old bogies originally intended for 140 km/h, were developing cracked tyres. Originally a restriction of 140 km/h was applied to all carriages with metal tyre bogies, but the issue was narrowed down to 4AncS bogies specifically (36% of the total carriages owned, over 700), and it was decided to slow them down to 150 km/h indefinitely, which is still slightly lower than the previous full speed. Markings will likely be updated

I'm going to give you a list of some really nice train journeys to film a long video.

I hate open carriages, I prefer compartments, they should just get rid of those airplane-style carriages, they're uncomfortable and I hate them, I want compartments on trains
