The INCREDIBLE New Slovakian FIRST‑CLASS Carriages No One Talks About – Košice to Bratislava

Follow me on Bluesky @intercitysimon.com https://bsky.app/profile/intercitysim... Slovakia’s railways aren’t particularly known for great trains or innovative designs. But quietly entering service in 2020, these brand-new, domestically manufactured first-class carriages haven’t received much attention – and that’s a shame. These might be some of Europe’s best modern train carriages. Join me on the express train from Košice to Bratislava to see what they’re all about.
