I think the conductor just beleived that you want to visit the famous Szalajkavolgy which is the main tourist attraction in Szilvasvarad and the Szalajkavolgy stop is close there, this is where tourists get off the train. So she might wanted to help you :)

The rolling stock like this allowed for keeping many rural lines in Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary after 1989, while in many other countries that used to be worse side of the Iron Curtain (e.g. Poland), where such railbuses were not available, many rural lines were closed down.

Well, welcome to Hungary ;) The conductor believed that, you're going to Szilvásvárad, and the valley of the Szalajka creek, which has another narrow gauge railway uphills to another walking tour locations, restaurants and so on. Sadly, there is a reduced timetable, that only covers a shallow coverage of touristic destinations. Where these railcars run, you have to plan your journey, in an extreme case you only have one train per directions daily! To the Bzmot, or the 117 series: it has an one-axle bogie(!) to take steep curves like this line without considering damage of the track, some of the motorized ones have air conditioning. These vehicles have the very less axle load for rural routes, about 10 tons per axle. The one of you rode was the one I had too, the No 321 was located at the nearby depot which has been serving the lines around my hometown. ;) And, if you like to take better view of the tracks, I recommend to take a seat of an unmotorized carriages of these little bouncers, especially on the Line 11, the one which connects Győr and Veszprém, with tunnels and viaducts through the Bakony hills , a monastery on a hill of Pannonhalma, and, if you have lucky moments, this line is running across a shooting range for armored vehicles and air support, sometimes you can see military things really close beside of this little thing ;)

I really have to chuckle watching a lot of your video's Dylan, these so called Railbus's were top of the line trains thru out most of Europe back in the 1960's. I was stationed in Giessen Germany. and took many sight seeing tours to as many countries as i could and most of the engines back then were still steam. and the main cars were a lot like these ones. but the coverings n the seats were leather. and less padding. Can you imagine taking a trip from Giessen to Paris on one of these! yep ! took all most 7-9.5 hrs. long hard trip in those days. I marvel at train travel today. and that's one reason why I enjoy your video's so much, Too old to travel like that nowdays. so I do it vicariously thru you ! thanks for that Dylan. and for sharing.

Railbusses were actually more widely spread than most of the people believe. They appeared quite long before the Pacer, the most famous of all being the German "Schienenbus". It was developed somewhere in the early 1960s (or maybe late 1950s?) and quickly spread to numerous other countries (Spain, Yugoslavia, Romania among others, they were also locally built), and even in Germany the last ones were taken out of service quite recently (some of those even ended up in Cuba). And they were incredibly fast (90 km/h). It seems that the Hungarian ones share their technique with Czechs (a refeurbished version is in use in Czechia, see the recent Pete Brandy video).

They were locally built by Comeng, and are basically just trucks with bus bodies and rail wheels - they even have manual gearboxes, complete with clutch and stick shifter. Back in the day QR used to a have a lot of bush branch lines providing a lifeline service to very sparsely populated areas, so it was all that was needed, and in the event of a breakdown, any local farmhand mechanic could have a pretty good bash and getting it up and running.

So those had a modern, IC-style interior and a new coat of paint, but ofc remained the old Bzmot trains mechanically. Unfortunately the concept was retired in 2010, but those were rather unique little trains... You can find articles in Hungarian and German wikipedia about the InterPici-trains, just look 'em up...
