This week it's time for a ride on Romania's own high-speed train, built by Softronic in Craiova, and operated by their passenger division, Softrans.

These units run at up to 160km/h (100mph) on routes between București (Bucharest) and Craiova, Brașov, and Constanța. Whilst this might not be true high-speed, the acceleration and speed is definitely the best in service in Romania.

In this video, look out for some of the weird aspects of the train's interior, some of which are good and the rest not so. Also watch out for some of the really surprising stuff I saw out of the window, it's something you never really want to see when on a train...

Enjoy!
