Last week at #Kraków 🇵🇱 Glówny station: this is a largely unrefurbished #EN57 unit, formerly operated by #PKP and seen here displaying the #Polregio livery. These trainsets were (or still are) nicknamed #kibel (for loo 🚽…) by Polish railfans. The refurbished units of the class are dubbed #turbokibel.

Going through photos taken earlier this week. Pictured here is #EuroCity 213 “Comenius”, originating at #Bohumín 🇨🇿, with a through car from #Prague, to #Kraków 🇵🇱. The train was hauled by a #ČD #Siemens #ES64U4-type Class 1216 #Taurus electric. And there was the Czech #DiningCar (of the WRmz 815 type, for the nerds) where I enjoyed a freshly cooked pork roast. There aren’t many diners on European rails where there’s a chef doing some real cooking (as opposed to microwaving convenience food).

#EuroCity #206 “Porta Moravica” from #Graz and #Vienna 🇦🇹 to #Kraków 🇵🇱 via #Ostrava 🇨🇿 has got something special on offer for #DiningCar buffs: meals are freshly cooked on board the Czech diner, a rare feature at times when micro-waved convenience food has become common practice. I really enjoyed my Schnitzel, and the chef as well as the dining car attendant were just great.

Good morning! A very international start into the day, with this freshly cooked breakfast (almost a full English 🍳☕️) in the Czech 🇨🇿 #ČD #DiningCar on #EuroCity #206 “Porta Moravica” to #Kraków Gł 🇵🇱. I boarded the train at #Wien 🇦🇹 Hbf.
