European passenger rolling stock furthest from its host country

[DanielB]

On the traction side of things I think the winner is the NS Vectrons booked to work to Wien on the Nightjet.

They don't go that far away anymore since the new timetable and the introduction of the new Nightjet sets.
The NS Vectron now is the traction for the Innsbruck part till Munich.

Is that further than the ČD Vectrons that get to Flensburg?

Would the Nightstar/Renaissance coaches count? Built for the UK but ended up in Canada! I know they never entered service (and I'm not so sure about testing), but I figured they might count.

The Russian Moscow-Beijing service would’ve been a strong contender, though it’s unclear if it ever restarted post-pandemic/war.

The north Korea coaches on that train also get far away from home

This thread is about trains travelling far from their home country in passenger service, and only within Europe. Exports don't count.

Just a bit of trivia really. In Europe, which service would take a piece of passenger rolling stock furthest from its host country? It's probably easier to go "as the crow flies" to the nearest border given the multitude of rail routes.

Oops. Misread. Sorry about that! Imagine a journey from London to Canada on one of them though... would probably take more than one night's sleep!

What about the Vienna-Istanbul service?

You mean Villach-Edirne?

Would snalltaget (butchered spelling) in Innsbruck count for this
