@notjustbikes Meanwhile, the only themed train in our country is this:
Out of curiosity, do you plan to visit the Balkans as well, since you're in Europe? There's plenty to say about trains in these countries, and plenty to criticize, so you can surely get a lot to create content about. 😁
@petrescatraian I don't have any plans to visit the Balkans at this time, but if I do, I need to have a reason to visit.
Nobody wants to watch a video where I complain about all the things wrong with a place they've never been to. I would prefer to focus on something that is done well, and then mention some of the things they could do better.
@notjustbikes The one trip I took the shinkansen we picked up bento boxes in the station before boarding. As we waited for the train to allow us to board (we were at the end of the line) we saw cleaners flipping the seats around. After we boarded, we flipped one row of seats (and I'm sure gave a japanese conductor a heart attack because you're NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT) so we could face our friends (we had a big group). Compare/contrast: Food is not allowed on local trains.
@notjustbikes what did you end up using to book in advance? During our last trip I tried through the official JR apps, but they were super confusing. And that's coming from someone booking SNCF on regular basis...
