A tip...

If travelling first class on a ČD Railjet don't select seat 72 in the control car. That's an excellent view of nothing.

PS This Railjet was delivered as the IEP▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project. This will offer more capacity on routes, save money, give a consistent and safe service and meet customer requirements. Intended to replace HSTs.) project was just starting, this is the type of train that should have been built for the UK▸ (United Kingdom).

Apologies for the swearing..

Decent comfortable seats in both first and second class
Plenty of luggage racks and space for a few bikes.
Full restaurant car with a buffet counter.

It will be well used and I doubt I'll ever get any delay repay compensation.
