Interesting to observe that trains are driving on the right in Netherlands and on the left side in Belgium and how the track infrastructure at the south of Rotterdam make this alternation possible without any rail crossing.
Even better: Trains in most of France drive on the left, but trains in Alsace-Lorraine, the region of France once occupied by Germany, drive on the right just like in Germany itself. So throughout the East of France there these under-and-over flying junctions called "Sauts de moutons", where tracks go under and over each other to change sides!
@Haagse Snorlax to make it more confusing, regional trains in France drive on the left, but the Metro in Paris drive on the right, and Belgium used to be part of France which is why they too run on the left

At 49:55 you can see the point where the HS line switches from right-hand to left-hand running. The long white viaduct on our left is carrying the other track over the one we are on. After they both dive under other tracks in the corridor and return to the surface, at 50:38, the other track is on our right.
@@joeannias6557 The line passes from the region of right-hand running to that of left-hand running. The Netherlands, like Germany, runs on the right; Belgium, like France, runs on the left. At some border crossings they cross on the flat (usually at a border station). And some border crossings are on a single track. Neither option is good for high-speed lines.
on the line between Germany and France the rare Hamburg-Paris ICE has to go through switches at 200-250 km/h to switch sides, which is pretty wild, but surprisingly stable, and just another issue they have to deal with along with the switch from 15 KV in Germany to 25 KV in France
@@thesteelrodent1796 and the switch in train control systems as well, almost every country has their own system and installing multiple systems on a train is quite expensive.
Das war eine super Mitfahrt, vielen Dank dafür!!! Die vielen Spannungswechsel sind sehr interessant, ebenso das Wechseln der Zugführungsart! Mit den besten Grüssen aus Österreich - H. Basta
Every day I go to work I still get great pleasure from seeing the cars on the motorway from the train and then overtaking them with a large speed difference (even without traffic jams) 😜
Thanks for the great movie. 1:51:57 is a deja vu for me: the TGV to Lille which you should be able to catch is just departing from the other side of the same platform.....
Brussels house and apartment prices are 3 times cheaper than Paris, 100,000 lucky French people already live in Brussels, great for teleworking and the icing on the cake one hour by train with Thalys Paris to Brussels and two hours from Brussels to London .
I never log in. I never comment. This forced me to. So very well done. I only wish us, Americans, could learn from this. People are people. Stupid is stupid. There is no reason this country cannot have at least limited rail like this. Oh well. C'est la vie. Very well done..
I like how this video was made into almost a tutorial. Pity not whole the dash is allowed to be shown, like in a simulator game like Train Sim World, but still nice with all the annotations!
The Netherlands portion was best. The second camera was a genius thought. About 30 minutes lost in Belgium due to voltage changes, signalling changes and speed restrictions, its almost as if the don't like high speed trains. :(
The problem in Belgium is the section between Antwerp and Brussels: that's not a high speed line, but a classic line in the progress of being upgraded to ETCS. That's why trains need to switch between ETCS and the classic TBL(+) in some sections. South of Brussels, after the point where this video ends, the Thalys takes the exising HSL to Paris, which is equipped with the French TVM-430 system on both sides of the border.
Fantastic video. Loving this trip through 2 of my favourite countries. Can someone explain what the cab alert sounds are? The beeps I believe are for track messages with speed updates? but what about the buzzer we keep hearing?

I noticed what appeared to be a couple of regular Dutch trains on the high speed line. Where are these going? They have the ability to change to the differing voltage just like the Thalys?
The regular train is the ''Intercity Direct'' who travels between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Breda vice versa. Vmax is 160km/h for those. They can change to 25kV too. The next generation of ''Intercity Direct'' (year 2021) can go up to Vmax 200km/h. They will share the High Speed Line with the Thalys TGV. The time schedule will let enough space between the faster one and the slower ones.
Next time when you are arrived at Brussels , Can you keep the camera lower, and it will be fun if you can turn the camera around so you you have an overview to Gare Bruxelles South/Midi . Thank you!!
Great video. But now 3-4 years later youtube degraded image quality badly. Also, the Belgian-part of the high speed line (HSL) is a big disappointment, since there is no HSL at all from north of Antwerp until Brussels! It's about time to make it go 300 km/h between Antwerp and Brussels too.
Zeer geslaagde video met goede uitleg. Wat voor mij nog beter zou kunnen : telkens je in een tunnel rijdt geef dan even aan welke tunnel het is ( bijvoorbeeld tunnel onder de Maas )

Best TGV cab ride video I've seen so far.
Yes, let's drive a train with shitty design specs with paint flaking off. Because that'll make you feel good.

Interesting to observe that trains are driving on the right in Netherlands and on the left side in Belgium and how the track infrastructure at the south of Rotterdam make this alternation possible without any rail crossing.
@Haagse Snorlax True. but Belgium has already a lot of km of high-speed train lines compared to the size of the country (4 lines)
@Haagse Snorlax but there is a high speed section between Mechelen and Brussels now. Also, did you see how DENSE that area is?
Even better:
Trains in most of France drive on the left, but trains in Alsace-Lorraine, the region of France once occupied by Germany, drive on the right just like in Germany itself.
So throughout the East of France there these under-and-over flying junctions called "Sauts de moutons", where tracks go under and over each other to change sides!

En España está esa tecnología. De hecho en mucha mayor cantidad que en países bajos
@O.G Autistler but the poster of this comment is spanish and my answer was addressed to him 🙄
@@e.d.gproductions7989 The comment was in English. There's not a single person who says responding in a different language isn't rude.
@@therealdutchidiot ok that was litterally a year ago
@@e.d.gproductions7989 How on eath does that invalidate just a single thing? The video itself was from 4 years ago.
By far, this is the best quality high speed cab ride video, I've seen on RUclips. Added to my favorite rail playlist. Warm Regards from India !!
@Ben Chuft While that may be true in some contexts seeing the different signalling systems at work is a thing of beauty.

After they both dive under other tracks in the corridor and return to the surface, at 50:38, the other track is on our right.
Is there a reason why it changes?

Спасибо за путешествие.Поразило переключение на ходу с переменного на постоянный ,ну и вокзалы под землёй🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Esse trem corre muito viajem boa parabéns viu
Thanks for the ride. I enjoyed the journey from Amsterdam to Bruxelles Midi. 300 km/h is so fast.
Great upload, thank you.
I love the sound of this train! I go to sleep with it at night! Great ride into my dreams!
Großes Lob auch von mir. Besser kann man eine Führerstandsmitfahrt kaum machen! Daumen hoch!
Thanks For Sharing!!! Dankeschön!!!

I travelled on Thalys last summer and loved the journey. Thanks for bring back some great memories.
Great ride. Wish we had them here!
Brilliant enjoyed it....
Very Good Video Thanks for the cabin travel

This is the stuff of dreams, must have more! Well Done.
Thanks for great video. Had no idea there were so many control authority and voltage changes!

Thanks for the tour///Ha[[y New Year 2021////
Nice video👍👊. Good job.
1:25:05 I grew up here. (Greetings from Miami, FL...)
einfach Klasse
The 7 km long tunnel just after the airport direction Rotterdam is the so called the greenheart tunnel what is above it green fields for cattle👍😉
The airport, ok. I was wondering why they had a tunnel in the middle of nowhere from what i could tell. It's the airport, thank you. Makes sense.
I hope someone will record the entire journey from Amsterdam to Londen by Eurostar.
This train accelerates better than space shuttle! And flies better, too!!!
I didn't realize this was being presented in real time, no narration.
Wunderbar! Liebe Grüße aus Brasilien! :)

TGV trains sound so relaxing. Reminds me of when I took the Thalys from Rotterdam to Paris - slept like a baby.

Why Is the catenary post in the Belgium high speed lines the same as France's high speed catenary post?
Dat was leuk.
Ce TGV est devenu une vraie réussite européenne.

That isn't quite true - Belgium has 4 high-speed lines, which is a lot for a small country. The Netherlands only has 1.
That smoking chimney on the right at 14:19 is a energy/electricity powerplant, but closed down a few weeks ago.
Too bad it is.
i like tgv is very comfortable
Hurrah! the driver has cleaned the windscreen….a bit…!
5:30 the Excavator beats the TGV xD
Still on the non-revenue part of the trip, from railroad yard to first station, so there were no passengers aboard to whitness that.
Fantastic video. Loving this trip through 2 of my favourite countries. Can someone explain what the cab alert sounds are? The beeps I believe are for track messages with speed updates? but what about the buzzer we keep hearing?

Nice! What is the train or heading number of this train?
Hello Mr! Will there be a continuation of the video clip from Brussels to Paris North by Thalys train?
Bogdan Zahariev the drivers from The Netherlands don,t drive all the way to paris the is a personel switch in brussel
These trains are a bit tiny for a being of a height of 185 cm, but I always enjoyed the ride from Bruxelles to Paris.
TGV's were absolute dogshit even for their time. And the Thalys lines uses refurbished stock. Make of that what you will.
So, Amsterdam - Paris Nord would be around 3 hours and 15-20 minutes normally, right?
Yeah, if you travel from Schiphol Airport it takes 3 hours and if you travel from Rotterdam it takes 2h38m.

Great that you have the explanation of whats happening. Question - what is the top speed and how long does it take to stop?
The top speed is 300 km/h. That is the permitted maximum speed on the high-speed line
