Serbia has the FIRST bullet train in the Balkans – but there’s a catch...

Today I am travelling on Serbia's brand-new bullet train, the 200km/h Soko high speed train from Belgrade Central to Subotica! Serbia has long been infamous for having some of the worst railways in Europe with worn out trains and poor maintenance, but this modern Chinese-built CRRC bullet train promises to revolutionise long distance train travel in the Balkans. I booked a First Class ticket to test out this high speed rail line and see if it is truly the best train in the region. Join me for this Balkan train travel vlog as we explore the controversial new Belgrade Central station, experience plush leather reclining seats, navigate temporary station stops following the tragic Novi Sad station collapse, and face an unexpected confrontation with the police over filming on arrival. Find out if Serbia's new high speed rail network lives up to the hype or if it still suffers from classic Balkan railway problems! --- Journey Details: Origin: Beograd Centar (Belgrade) Destination: Subotica Company: Srbija Voz Train: SV 411 'Tiger' Accommodation: First Class Seat (1st) Time: 1 hour 19 minutes, arrived 9 minutes late Distance: 174 kilometres / 108 miles Price: 1682.00 RSD --- Find me elsewhere: https://www.instagram.com/superalbstravels/ https://twitter.com/superalbs/ https://bsky.app/profile/superalbs.bsky.social
