Very interesting, nice to see hump shunting being used over there with the retarders. Apart from not knowing the language got the jist of things. Signalling centres shown full of flat screen monitors & computer driven programs to help the operators manage the yard workings, yet there were still a number of the old style signalboxes along the route taken by the train on its tour. Whether they were still in use or not I don't know, but in any event still good to watch.

First of all, it is actually a Slovak rail tour, not Czech. However, this comment is puzzling me:

Which old style signalboxes are you referring to? All the signals outside of the stations there are automatic (and permissive), which you can tell by the white stripe on the signal.
