That's a good price, but it can be even better.
In September 2021 I traveled with the RegioJet train from Prague to Split, also in the 4-berth compartment. A planned 21 hour journey (even more due to delay) for -41. 60, for a distance of approx. 1300 km (via Budapest. And I had the compartment to myself.
In June 2022 I used the opposite direction for 3 Euros more. According to my observations, the price also depends a little on the season and occupancy. It can be significantly more expensive, especially in July and August, when the train is heavily used.
On this second trip, my compartment was ultimately completely booked, so other people had reserved the other three berths after me. But only 2 boarded in Split and used this compartment. I went into the neighboring one (the staff didn't mind, because only 3 compartments in my car were reserved, but the rest were completely free.
I find this a bit strange, since you can specifically choose your seat or berth on RegioJet and during the process you can see what is free and what has already been reserved. And -normal- people would book the free compartments first. -
I also find your breakfast a bit surprising. Normally there is just a small bottle of water als -welcome drink-, and as breakfast a hot drink (tea or coffee) and a dry croissant. At least that's what I was used to.
9: 22: I find this a little funny. They are actually the most comfortable seated cars in the RegioJet fleet, but because they do not have a -modern- interior, they are marketed as -LowCost-, i. e. the cheapest car class. After all, they were originally 1st class cars, but the DB finally used them as 2nd class in the last years for the same reason.
11: 25: you're looking out the wrong side, you have to show the other side! -

Glad you enjoyed your journey! Unfortunately, RegioJet has been worsening their services for the last years. Since they keep their low prices, they lack the maintanance, so problems with their toilets in trains are notoriously known. It is common that only half of all toilets in whole train is working properly.

The whole route turns out to be on the old Austrian KkStb Hauptstrecke Prag Premzyl the Eastern portion was built by Galizien Carl Ludwig Bahn. If you want to see the pictures of what the whole route look like in the opening days the Austrian Federal Railways kept them in their archives.

You're honestly lucky it left on time - I usually take the PKP/CD from Krakow to Prague because this one is timed to meet with a train from Kyiv so understandably there are often heavy delays. I've seen up to 7 hours!

Tooke the Rejojet day train last year from Vienna to Prague. There too there was a flower in the bathroom which it's such a simple and yet elegant touch. Curious if others have found flowers in Rejojet bathrooms?

Travelling thru Przemysl is traumatising. The EU border staff are rude and abusive. They quite literally treat the passengers like a combination of cattle, and garbage.

Great review!
I have wondered how trains are able to cross-over into the former Soviet republics with their wider track guage, thanks for the explanation Thibault!

Could you review the japaneese Shinkansen? It-s the first high-speed rail system in the world so it would be cool to see a review on it.

40- for such a long ride in a Couchette with this comfort is a really good price, I would say. Great work by Regiojet!

The provision of breakfast to ALL travellers on the service has to be a good marketing tool. Well done Regiojet!

Very nice descent trains. It-s got that intercity feel to it. Just like the Intercity trains in the UK.
