.@unpg34 Not so. Mrs Hitchens and I were the only foreigners in the Czechoslovak dining cars we used in the late 1970s. The post-1968 regime bought off its middle class with higher living standards in return for political quiescence. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ajyoungman. Haven't come across a diner on that route. But there *used* to be a great diner on the wonderful double-decker sleeper that ran from DC to Chicago via Harper's Ferry and the Potomac and Shenandoah Valleys. Last time I tried, it was a poor shadow of its former self. — PolitiTweet.org

.@unph34 When did you visit? My first and most memorable visit was in Spring 1978, almost ten years after the invasion. Went in and out by train, through Paris, Heidelberg, Nuremberg. Very few westerners went there then. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah I’m sure is that what you say is true, but having visited Prague, I have questions how often they could afford it.
