68019 Brutus with driving trailer behind. Seen at Velim today.

Seen today...

I thought so, but apparently it's the Class 68 loco. Only "anspen" was visible through the window :-) I might get back there tomorrow and hopefully the full set will be made up and on show.

Another photo - samey I'm afraid, but not much choice of viewing angle available.

I saw 331 001 lurking at the back of a murky shed at Velim today.

I just got back from a bike ride to Velim and there is no sign of any of 'our' coaches. I suspect that all five are now indoors in one of the many big sheds there. There has been a lot of shuffling overnight, many locos and coaches are in completely different places compared to yesterday...

Some České Dráhy restaurant cars have steps and a handrail - but no door. Once you finally find your way onboard, you can get a good quality, freshly cooked meal with drinks for under a tenner! Cheaper than paying for a first class ticket if you are on a longish journey.

Well, I thought all the windows were the same height and in the same vertical position, the only difference being the width. See my yellow lines photo (which I attach again) which 'proves' that. However, from the videos (especially at the start of Video 3), it's clear that some windows are...
