Nice to see the internal doors my former colleagues and me built at IFE Tebel (NL), at least those seem to be in good working order. I remember some of those glass doors were very narrow, we were wondering how a large beer-bellied German could get through.

not worthed

Per slot vAn saldo kwam hij niet verder dan Breda, ...

Took this train about 10 months ago and then something hit the powerline and we had to wait two hours in Padborg for buses, which is not great with an omnium cargo bike. We were dropped in Kolding or Fredericia in the middle of the night, where an ic3 to Copenhagen showed up. But with 4 steps up, these trains are not great for people with bikes, wheelchairs or big suitcases. Just run the German double deckers with drivercabin on this line, they have a lot of space for bikes. The second time i took this train, stranded again at Padborg, due to a suicide in Sjealland. The Danish crew had to be taxied in from around Copenhagen to Padborg. And the German crew also took a taxi back. All in all a really big downgrade IMO. The old ic3 that went on the ferry was fun, but it should run more frequently and there really should be way more bicycle space and it should be legal to travel on traons with two wheel cargobikes without boxes. Only one Flixbus is worth to take, but its the night bus from Amsterdam. The others are pure crap. Its very difficult to be carless to travel to Denmark, and still then its super expensive. We really needed that tunnel a long time ago, and it seems time has been standing still in the 20 years i did not live in Copenhagen...

A huge amount of work has been done on them before entering service with Trenitalia. In the Benelux more than 600 single points requiring attention were noticed. Big mistake the Dutch and Belgian Railways made that there were was a lacking operational envelope and incomplete penalty clausules in the contracts, so it was difficult to hold Ansaldo-Breda acountable for all of these. About many failing points they simply replied with "this was never specified", even when parts flew off while driving trough a few cm of snow this was the reply. It's common sense to me when a train has to operate it will encounter snow in most of Europe at some point, even on the route in the video.

I commuted with Mälartåg every day for a year, Uppsala-Stockholm. It was pretty terrible. The train was 10+ min late into Stockholm twice a week. And was often cancelled on my way home, so the commute could take 3 hours. Once I was gonna take a piss on the train, but when I pressed open the electronic door there was a pygmy african man (he was 160 cm at most) hunched over the toilet seat, sniffing cocaine from a notebook. This train departed Uppsala at 06:11 mind you.

I think you forgot a very fun fact. A Danish group called Tørfisk (which translate to Dry Fish) has made a song about this rail line, which is very a popular drinking song in most of Jutland.

1:37 är nu inställt. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it means the train is canceld

Well as a swede I can say I perfer having drink drivers than wating for the train so long that I could have walked home

hearing the "especially cause we're in Sweden" in relation to prices being high is so funny and ironic when it comes from a dane :PPPP

In gothenburg, sweden, our trams from the 80s will be refurbished a second time due to the huge failure of the ansaldobreda trams from the 00s. The old trams will be kept in service more than 10 years longer than the ansaldobreda trams, which are 20 years newer, meaning that the ansaldobreda trams last 30 years less than the old trams.

Looking forward to seeing the performance numbers for the Light Rail for Copenhagen, it's not the same route as the 5C, but it should prove a point when comparing it to the infamous 300S line. @Simon Andersen Do you know the amount of passengers 300S is/used to be taking?

TLK trains are great if you're lucky. They are notorious for their delays, bad smell in the summer, dirty toilets, terrible co-passengers - if you travel often you'll meet that from time to time. EIP are much better, but the only problem is that they are present only in the biggest cities, and to some people their price is prohibitive.

Tram or light rail would probably have been better for the 2 itself, which is in the end the most important line in the city, but it is really not to be understated how nice it was that this solution came with dedicated bus lanes for other lines on the busy parts of the Aalborg Station <-> Grønlands Torv section.

dont be offended, but i find it really funny how you pronunce the names of the cities :D "Farro" hehe. Great video btw <3

Took the V250 from Bolzano to Milano last year in standard class. Horrible blue plastic seats. Very uncomfortable. The rest of the cabin was also plastic and rattling like mad.

Avoid this low coast train!!!!!!Stay home if you are not ready to sell your soul to the Devil and paris Hilton!!!!!!!! Dont enjoy life and have a moral conduct at the same time!!!!! Dont go on that 2 and 3 holiday if you are not ready to neglect your children work 75 houers per week and die from stress before your grandchildren are born!!!!

Mamma mia , come io amo l'ex Jugoslavia. Hvala lepa. Grazie mille dal Sud Italia per il bellissimo video.

i for fun once took the same route as this bus on a bike(doing somewhat rushhour) while a friend was there on the 5C bus i was there around 30-40min before my friend on the bus was there: i feel like biking / taking a bus or public transport should be around the same time it take to travel in a city atleast if around 5-10km long to travel yeah these busses kinda just sucks also too often too over crowded and honestly i avoid this bus at all cost whenever i can

hillarious

One advantage with Rapi:T is that it runs slightly later. The last northbound Haruka leaves 22:15 but the last Rapi:t leaves 23:00 Sad thing is the Nankai airport express is only 5 minutes slower and is never overtaken by Rapi:t. So other than its art-deco stature and premium seating there isn't much to write home about the RApi:t in terms of travel time.

Big mistake. Also, why did they want trains that only run 250 on a high speed line? The new ones have also no capacity and are even uglier. They still hold up the real high speed trains of ICE and Eurostar too. Its one big joke, all they had to do is buy some real high speed trains, make Amsterdam South the high speed station as it connects central station by metro, and clear the schiphol/central station corridor of any high speed trains/ intercities and only run sprinters on there to serve the airport. They should have bought the old eurostars that got sold off years ago instead of new unknown trains.

I love hearing the P42 idle. The loud noise you are hearing is not the locomotive itself, but rather the HEP generator that provides A/C and power to the cars. When the locomotive isn't providing HEP, they are very quiet. You'll find these all over the United States. They might not be the fastest at 177 KMH, but they have a unique look, and they're reliable.

It seems there are a lot of prejudice about ETR700. They are fine short distance HST. Ok, they are not the ETR400 (Frecciarossa 1000), but are fine for the Milano - Venice. I think DSB got something like Italian TAFs…

Tak for et godt grin Simon, det hele er desværre sandt :-)

A nice move! Unfortunately, it doesn't make the connection faster, or only makes it slightly faster.

The Dutch Railways wanted so many adjustments that it ultimately became a completely new design, which of course had many teething problems...

In 1981 the French built the 1st true HST line in Europe, then they broke the world speed record on rails 3 times, 1981: 380 kph, 1990: 515 kph, 2007: 574 kph. Belgians thought "If the French did it, we can too!". They launched their own "TGV" (FYRA 250) on december 2012. Pathetic failure. Breakdowns, premature rust, pieces lost in the countryside, front hood cover, some bolts lost too... After a month of operations, less than 45% of trains ran on schedule. FYRA 250 was finally abandonned on 18 january 2013. Only one month running! Huge laugh burst in Europe...

Have you tried public transport in other countries? I don't think so...otherwise you would probably be satisfied with what we have! Really don´t wanna offend you, but you sound like a typical Danish Snowflake 😒 ! Are you willing to pay more taxes for a better system... ?? Nah ! Probably not ! In my case. If it gets me from A to B and mostly runs on a predicted schedule.., I´m a "Happy Camper" 👍! Ths is what we Danes call "Flueknepperi" (Flyf..king - when you have nothing more important in your life to complain about 🙄 ) !

La veritá non la sapremo mai. LA Breda ha una tradizione di quasi 90 anni nella costruzione di composizioni bloccate. Il primo fu il ETR 200 che raggiunse nel 1932 la velocitá di oltre 200 km/h. Ed era tutta elettromeccanica pura. Bisogna capire chi ha ordinato cosa con le specifiche del cliente. Questo disastro ha sicuramente più padri. E Bombardier ha fatto di peggio. Personale interinale che si doveva portare gli attrezzi da casa.

What a great trip

Round windows

The unused space was probably where the now removed smoking room was, as far as I know all smoking rooms have been removed.

It reminds me of a Zaku from Gundam

Thanks for the video. This is a very comfortable and fun train! The design is much better than those of Eiji Mitooka.

In Italia funziona... Forse non sapevano usarlo? 😂😂

Fun part: Belgium did not want them on their tracks and banned them within 2 weeks of operation they were unsafe and dangerous, NS took longer and only after the government told them to and that does not happen normally

RyanAir... That is one reference I didn't expect to hear.

I’ll be on this same train and location in August. How are they with luggage? Do they actually measure the size of the bigger suitcases?

If you are planning to use Narita Airport, try the Keisei Skyliner. It is the only train that runs at 160 Km/h on conventional lines in Japan. It is only for a short section.😅 Route: Narita Airport to Keisei Ueno Distance: 64.1 km Journey time: 44 min.(Fastest train) Average speed: 87 km/h Price: 2580 JPY（Fare 1280 JPY, Extra charge 1300 JPY）

As Always,Thank You, Love Your Channel, Greetings From San Diego.🌴

We have hade this in Istanbul since 2000s I believe. "Metrobus"

I had to think about 15 seconds what was the terminal of EIC u showed bcoz u sent not really correctly haha /ko-wo-bshek/

Second class with comfortable seating, mimicking an airplane. Haven't had comfortable seating on an airplane for ages to be fair 😂

As USUAL😂😂 Grate video🫵🏻😊👍🏻

I just watched Not Just Bikes' latest video on crazy trains in Japan, then your video popped up next. Haha!

I travel frequently on these trains. I cannot complain. Except for the insufficient number of toilets, the train is ok in my opinion.

Impressive speaking of the train there are way more futuristic than the JR West 271/281 series which actually operates the airport train to Osaka Final Destination Kyoto. Oddly the competitor 281 series looks like a Nederlandse Spoorwegen ICM with a different track gauge 1.067m vs 1.435m

It went from 08:34 to 08:00! Must have been a fast train 😂 then it slowed down and arrived at Kansai at 08:09 😂

before Japan has influx of Tourist like this, about 10 to 15 yrs ago. Nankai Rapid wasn't that popular, it was eclipsed by JR West's Haruka., while Train looks absolutely nice. it only goes to Nanba, and Nankai Namba station is actually real faraway from other lines. now its different story, due to influx of tourists.
