    Two minutes late is considered on time in many countries, they don't collate figures below 3 minutes. Who would visit a Muslim country during Ramadan, if I can't eat a snack every 3 hours and have an Espresso or a Turkish minus sugar I start to feel feint. Taking food with one is not a good idea without a cool box, missing out on local cuisine is a shame.

    my thoughts are that the 125's had the best ride comfort (suspension wise) and the 225's have the best seating comfort, internal lighting and general ambience, i have ridden the voyagers from scotland to cornwall since they were introduced multiple times a year and i have always hated the vibration and noise from the engines (9 hours on one of those is horrendous) and the worst seating comfort without a doubt goes to the Azuma's, great video by the way

    The European Sleeper from Brussels to Berlin is absolutely awful. Old, dirty, smelly, noisy and extremely uncomfortable. My sink had no water.

    While the mentioned prices are correct, realistically fare is more like ~58-78€ from Munich to Vienna or vice versa for the standard class. 38€ if you plan accordingly and aren't flexible on the day. You can only achieve the low fare in the video if you book 1-2 months in advance, only during off-peak hours, specific days and on non holidays.
