Serbia has the FIRST bullet train in the Balkans – but there’s a catch...
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:21The host arrives at Belgrade Central and compares the completed station with its earlier condition.
- 2:20On the underground platforms, he points out rubbish, cobwebs and dirty surfaces.
- 5:25First class offers spacious seats, headrests, power sockets, reading lights and fold-out tables.
- 7:44The catering menu turns out to describe a sparsely stocked vending machine with a broken hot-drinks dispenser.
- 11:11A carriage tour takes in second-class seating, wheelchair accessibility and the train's toilets.
The printed menu looks promising until Superalbs Travels discovers what it actually describes: the onboard vending machine. There are few items available, and the hot-drinks dispenser is broken. First class on Serbia's Chinese-built Soko has its comforts, but catering is not quite among them.
No new uploads arrived this week, leaving earlier journeys to supply roughly 186,000 views across the channel. The Serbia review has the most momentum at present, with a smooth ride and spacious seats set against less polished details. Above ground, Belgrade Central's modern concourse feels airport-like to the host; down on the platforms, he points out rubbish, cobwebs and neglected surfaces.
There is a very different railway experience close behind it: "Surviving the Worst Train in Poland (FALLING APART)" follows a long regional journey from Chojnice to Hel aboard an ageing East German-built double-decker carriage. The title supplies the verdict; the description supplies cramped benches and diesel fumes.
Daily channel viewing is below its usual level, while the subscriber total stayed unchanged over the week. Among nearby machinery and aviation channels, Sandy Flat Out Flat Broke is enjoying daily views close to twice its usual level.
For something gentler than vending-machine disappointment or Polish bench seating, the Berlin-Stockholm night-train upload is also gathering views. Its private couchette, traditional dining car and sunrise crossing of the Øresund Bridge offer a distinctly different way to spend a railway journey.
