Is this really FIRST CLASS on Bulgaria’s fastest express train?

Today I'm taking a ride on a train in Bulgaria, travelling from Varna to Plovdiv aboard a BDŽ (Bulgarian Railways) train from the communist era. Join me on this communist train, as I ride in a Bulgarian First Class train compartment from the Waggonbau Bautzen factory.

On this journey, I will show you the scenery of this Balkan country, and highlight the interior of the train, such as the seats and restaurant car. It's going to be a great journey in First Class on one of Bulgaria's express trains!
