In July, I am travelling to the Czech Republic.
I fly into Brno, with the intention of visiting Brno, possibly Olomouc, Prague and Karlovy Vary before flying home from Prague.
However, I've noticed that Coach travel is significantly faster than the national railway. By Student Agency coaches, I can do Brno-Olomouc in 1 hr, compared to 1hr30/2hrs by train. From Brno-Prague, the coach is 2 hours, compared to 2hr30/3 hours by train.
Student Agency markets these routes as a Fun and Relax Coach including individual backseat touchscreens, plugs, newspapers, wifi and free hot drinks and the price is almost the same as the train.
I like trains, so trains would be my preference but ultimately, with the coach the same price, quicker and offering a lot more. Is there any point going by train?
