The train looks dirty and banged up inside, rather uncomfortable compared to your modern and clean trains here in Russia. I bet it was loud and non-air conditioned as well. I would not take that journey for that price and that low of a standard.

How can i get the train ticket this route?

Hey whats that app you were using to gps track the train ?

Can we use credit card or cash onboard train? How about paying for food in general if i dont have alipay? Can train tickets be bought on day itself?

thanks

I'm surprised/irritated that scotrail dont have a small first class section on most of their trains north of Glasgow and also Inverness------ some of the trips are 4 hours plus. It would of course be much different if SWISS raiways ran the service!

Do you have a travel channel?

7:51 where is it?

i like your video. You should try riding Whoosh in indonesia, the first high speed train in southeast asia with a speed of 350/KMH. There are still many more trains in indonesia that you can make your youtube video. greetings from indonesia, Keep spirit and keep healty😊

I’m a seasoned Amtrak traveler and have risen this route in the past. You couldn’t be more wrong about this Cascade train. You sound like you’ve traveled the world enough, but your constant wining is very aggravating and earned you a thumbs down.

8:30 ...TO... electric plugs!...

You can use Euston tube station ( Northern and Victoria Lines) to save walking from Euston Sq tube

Somehow I am expecting tons and tons of snow, like in Doctor Zhivago. Am I wrong?

AN AMAZING WORK !!!THANKS A LOT !!!!

By the way, I don't exactly think Amtrak boarding is quite at China Railways level. Usually it's much better on domestic train journeys like to Portland. It's only because border crossing. Amtrak boarding seems to be airline style, just like Canada's Via Rail not to mention no fare gates not to mention that amtraks usually fine with you taking a break in stations, long distance trains have 15min stops for that reason sorry your conductor was being a bit of a jerk. maybe that just america

Sometimes it's too fast. The countryside whizzes past. Part of taking a train is to see the countryside. The slower trains had it purpose. Not everything needs to be done at speed. Some people get dizzy when they cannot fixate on the horizon and buzzing in their ears. This is progress but not for everyone.

Great footage 👍

UK is just West India. Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi colony. Third world. Don't expect everything working properly.

Excellent coverage

I unsubscribed. A sad review full of frustration, at least do it entertaining.

Just try it next time the M2 metro line at Hungary, Budapest. The Déli pu., Széll Kálmán tér, Batthány tér, Astoria, Blaha Lujza tér and the Keleti pu. stations is most deepest underground in the country 😅🙂

Very informative.

Just Watched all 9 in a Row over a couple of days and I have to say that is without a doubt one of the most detailed Trips on a Train I have ever seen Brilliant all round Excellent Footage not just of Trains but Information provided Simply Fantastic doc

26:35 The conventional rail of China is divided into 4 speed classes. The speed class is represented by the prefix of the train number, like the "K" in K1517 train of the video. The 4 speed classes from fastest to slowest are: Z, for "zhida" or "directly to destination". It has a top speed of 160km/h and very few stops T, for "tekuai" or "very fast". Top speed of 160km/h K, for "kuai", or "fast". Top speed of 120km/h And then there's trains with no prefix. These trains are slowest and often don't have AC. They are quite rare to find, with only a few regular services running in mountainous rural area.

Thanks for shredding some light on the conventional rail of China. Most videos about Chinese railway focuses on their HSR, while overlooking their conventional rail system that is just as interesting and important

Does the train still run despite sanctions

Longer videos

How do you book 1st class for a cabin to yourself?

Wich island did you like more Curaçao or Sint Maarten

I think the station building is build not correctly ,,designed because if someone confusing and lost walking distance around,, hard to find terminal,, maybe looks beautiful but still the artitather,,

Honestly, some points were valid but the negativity and remarks. Each to their own opinions but seriously, it was a hard watch not because of the criticism but the negativity.

And now for the reality . . . . When we heard about a night sleeper service that went from Brussels to Berlin via Amsterdam was being extended on to Prague and thought, “It's not the Orient Express but why not?” So we, my adult daughter and I, booked tickets from London to Brussels Eurostar, the night sleeper to Prague and, after a couple of nights there, tickets to Berlin for two nights and tickets to Amsterdam for two nights followed by a Eurostar back home. Met up in St Pancras and got the Eurostar without problems. About an hour before boarding the sleeper we got a message saying we’d been “Downgraded”. Now we’d booked and paid extra for two individual sleeper compartments - sole occupancy, made up “proper” bed, own washroom/towel/toiletries so to be downgraded to a joint couchette with SIX bunks was quite a drop, more degraded than downgraded! We’d previously been in wagon 3 and were now in wagon 22, the very last one so a long march down the platform! We argued the toss with a stroppy train attendant who insisted we’d booked a single couchette - not wishing to believe her own company’s paperwork. When my daughter found a layout drawing on her phone the woman angrily snatched it away and wouldn’t give it back. She called for a more senior attendant and he too insisted we were entitled to just a single couchette . . . until he examined the diagram and saw that sleepers only have 3 bunks and we had both booked the lower one - besides he finally agreed that nobody was going to pay €578 to squeeze into a single couchette cabin (basic accommodation for 6, four of the bunks fold down, seats are hard . . . ) He found us TWO couchettes next to each other but in wagon 2 at the other end of the train. So we had to get out at Antwerp and speed walk the full length of the platform CARRYING OUR OWN BEDDING. When we got there the wagon was grubby, the outside filthy, the nearest washroom smelled and the seat in the WC had a broken hinge. The only saving factor was that we had a charming young Belgian attendant called Marta who couldn’t have done more for us. An uncomfortable night to say the least. My daughter has a bad back and I’m 72 so neither of us was inclined to climb into an upper bunk and the lower ones are hard with protruding back rests. But we got to Prague in the end and it is amazing - we took an open top bus tour before settling into our apartment and had a great couple of days. The Euro Sleeper company offered us a €50 refund each and a 20% reduction on further bookings (as if!) but we talked them into giving us 50% back. Looking at their website it now seems the sleeper cabins have been dropped from the options - you have been warned!

Can I take a bicycle on board the Kiruna-Narvik train? I'm planning to cross northern Norway by bike, but due to time constraints, it would be nice to travel part of the route by train 🙂

Sorry you didn't have any help from the Providnik😊

Ich vermute, die zweite Lok diente der Stromversorgung. Die Class 66 haben (zumindest bei uns in Deutschland), keine Zugsammelschiene und können somit die Wagen nicht mit Strom versorgen.

Done the sleeper form London I done Euston to fort William and back again in march. Done it in club room with bunk beds , was interesting trying to shower when on move not good for someone with balance issues. And doing Euston to Inverness and back agin in July but I'm accbile room this time as found it extremely hard and difficult in the club room Tho with my disabled Railcard I do find Scotland sleeper cheaper than the GWR. Also great thing with caldionda is they also great with Acciblety they have adapted cutlery which makes it easier to do a day trip to Scotland and back on the sleeper. Paddington to Penzance twice on GWR MK3 stock.

Another great video! Disappointing about the plumbing failure (frozen?) and staff attitude. You did not mention Lowland Sleeper which serves Glasgow and Edinburgh from London.

Once again a well crafted video to enjoy - many thanks. One question Doc - do you travel wearing clogs or tap shoes?..... :o)

🥸Pretty rough ride !!! LOL

Error in description: ‘ Scheduled arrival time in Glasgow: 22h27 ‘ Should be London not Glasgow

t doesn't look like you can sightsee if you're lying in bed. Did the club car open during the trip?

You didn't eat or drink in diner lounge?

Cool

I took a bus from Vilnius to Riga. Not even knew there are direct trains 😂.

I rarely see any sleeper trains in Dem Haag HS and Brussels midi. I only have seen a bistro train in den Haag HS. This video opens my eyes!

This old train route through Gansu was on the original Silk Road path. The new high speed railway between Lanzhou and Urumqi is a bit far from the Silk Road path and had encountered lots of geotechnical problems.

I am your fans for years but no idea why I did not find you in my following list. Now I subscribe again. Great documentary videos! Bravo!

07:38 it’s not played through the loudspeakers, it’s the train next to you!

UK runs 6 night trains, CS also run a 'lowlander' service to just Edinburgh and Glasgow that departs around 2 hours later from Euston
