Hey all, reaching out to those in the know and or who more closely follow such things,
Contemplating a Brussels, Vienna return trip mid or late September and wondering which rolling stock is likely to operate then? I know that a couple of the new semens sets are in traffic now but not well acquainted with the expected rollout program for these and also on which route they are likely to be deployed and which routes will continue to use the refurbished classic stock
Whilst I'm not hugely concerned from an enthusiast point of view I am curious as it may have a bearing on what type of accommodation I choose to travel in, if they are still using fully compartmentalized stock I might consider a seat but would not really want to do 14 hours in the new seated accommodation which is apparently comfortable but not nearly as relaxing or private as it wants was. If it's likely to be new stock I might consider one of the new sleeping pods but again what appreciate some advice and thoughts on these as not only am I as my username would suggest visually impaired but I'm also not exactly what you'd call slim and can't imagine that changing radically between now and early autumn so would a fat git find a sleeping pod uncomfortable? And if classics stock what sort of sleeping accommodation is best value, bear in mind that I don't particularly want to share a couchette compartment with a bunch of strangers
Cheers all
