TRIP REPORT | Regional Express LETNI KOMETA to Germany | Usti nad Labem to Dresden | (Summer Comet)

I took the Letní kometa (Summer Comet) train to Dresden. This service is operated every weekend and public holidays (usually from the end of March to the end of October). This train runs on one of the most beautiful railway lines in the Elbe river valley through Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland national park. This services operated by ČD and consists of classic 2nd class coaches built by Waggonbau Bautzen in the 1980s.

What an excellent report... great job by Pete as usual!

[Kletterhaus]

Thanks for those reports. I really enjoy those less traveled and more niche trains. Czechia has just such a diverse and interesting railway.

Bonjour Pete, merci beaucoup pour ce Trip Report 🇨🇿🇩🇪🚅🤩. Voyage sympa et pas cher. Salutations amicales de Dives Cabourg à Prague 🇨🇿👋📽️👍😀

I did this journey from Prague to Berlin last summer. Very beautiful journey around the Czech/German border.

Nice video, I enjoyed it, and you are riding in 2nd class, welcome to 2nd class, my part of the world 😃

Ooh, instead of an all "Yes" list shown at the end of the clip, this one showed an all (almost) "No" list. Since it is a short distance, it won't be a problem while travelling but 13 plus Euro is on the higher side regarding value. Despite that, I'm impressed by the rail infrastructure that has been heavily invested, especially the escalators (near the beginning) which automatically switch on when a person wants to use them, as well the coach still good as new despite the age these coaches possess. By the way, keep up the good trip report :)
Cheers from Malaysia

Another good trip, couldn't get over the escalator that only appear to move when people are on them.

Bezvadné video!! Jako vždy!! Blahopřeji! Je vidět že jsi si užil otevřených oken. Je to moc pěkná věc! Líbí se mi i věc že ty vozy se ještě dostanou do zahraničí! 😃

I often ride this train from bad schandau to dresden and back bc its the only old train (in.standart gauge) i can use and its nice hanging out the window

Great report, Pete! What is the significance of the S in a circle on the side of ČD wagons? I see it on most wagons of different types in your videos, but not all. For example, it was on all but the 4th wagon on your train. Thank you!

Doesn't this train also run to the Christmas market in Dresden during Advent? 🤔What was the capacity utilization of the train? 👀

[OliverHryYTB]

YEES díky za video :) a bylo to o výkendu protože já byl na vlakách xd

[ParanormalWorldHunter]

You should travel from Praha To Nove Zámky

[hosenkofferjon]

The next Travel, make we both together, you live 100 km from me i live in the near from rumburg and varnstorf and Filipov and jirikov 😉😉😉

[vendus]

Užasné video 🤩🤩🤩, jen nechápu proč se tomu říká osobní vlak, když to skoro nikde nestaví?

Wow - great train on a beautiful piece of railway . However it's strange to see a S-emblem on an international Rychlik(same stoping policy as the EC ...) named OS/RE . It would be a shame to "modernise" such a service with Desiro(ML/HC) rolling stock . May god bless those who pant for WiFi-access on such a journey ...

[Vlk]

Ano, sice je to výletní vlak, ale ty standarty dnešní dopravy by ten vlak mít aspoň mohl, když to jezdí ze státu do státu :D

[Alex-Taylor]

Zajímavé je že u nás je označován jako osobák a v Německu jako RE 😅
