I love train culture in Europe, how much Europe has invested and continues to invest in trains should be a model to the US
Yeah, why it's not so anymore in the US? I mean, America was pioneer in public transport, its railway and tramway network was the envy and admiration of the world until after WWII. Was the network dismantled? Why?
arnauuu1 one word AUTOMOBILE.
@@tspenceriii Yes, I know; we also have automobiles here in Europe, a guy from Germany invented them, remember? But still, we also have public transport.
@John Richard yeah but it's not like, as an American you gotta travel 2000 km daily
John Richard China:am I a joke to you?
Amazing that they can keep the ferry so still whilst it is sitting in water so that the rails inside the ship line up perfectly with the rails on the quayside.
Aligning the tracks both vertically and horizontally would be tricky!
On the quayside there's a structure like a sort of giant "fennel" V shaped that leads and keeps the bow of the ship in the correct position.
This method was first used for freight trains in 1899 and for passenger trains in 1901.
There’s a good video of how it works featuring a barge that goes between Brooklyn and Jersey City
Milk.
Took the Rome to Palermo route last year. Brilliant. We had a day in Rome with a nice evening meal then took the train. Slept and travelled, so no time wasted. The 3 berth cabins were all sold out, so the 4 berth meant I had to share. Crossing the Messina straits at dawn was special. Just remember to take some food and drink as breakfast is limited. Clean, efficient, and on time. Do it before they build the bridge between the mainland and Sicily.
videos made in Italy are the most viewed on this channel!
More italian trains pleaseee
Soon :)
@@SimplyRailway Yup! ;-)
@@attenzioneallontanarsidall7940 Il tuo nome è bellissimo ahahah
@@Davis38 ti meriti tutta la mia stima, grazie fra!
Attenzione! Allontanarsi dalla linea gialla. Io non mi allontano
*treno arriva*
I traveled so many times with this train when I was a young guy. I'm originated from Siracusa, but at that time I was studying at the University in the north of Italy. Train looks much better now, very modern and fashion. I really miss it... I've promised to myself to travel again with it my child and wife, soon or later.
Mate, I really loved this report, it makes me proud of Italian railways even if they are always so often criticized… great to see a foreign guy appreciate and love this travel experience!
as comfort trenitalia is wonderful but lack of quality of railways and not centralized areas sucks
So glad I came across this, I'll be travelling from Scotland to Italy (Rome) and of course Sicily, visiting several cities in Europe by Interrail 1 month train pass, this will be in my itinerary, thanks for the video, appreciated.
I’ve wanted to do this my whole life! I live in the US but my grandparents were from Augusta, Sicily and I’d love to travel down from Rome on this train.
If you do, remember to book the train in advance to save some money on the tickets: for each service level you can pay economy or base prices and in the last days the cheapest ones go sold out.
Torna in Patria!
@The Fare Player, you can also get Eurailpass months in advance of your trip, and travel everywhere in Europe by rail.
I am a Japanese railfan. I wish to experience this wonderful journey of overnight train to cross the strait by the ferry and have beautiful scenery!
Did it with a day train, it was wonderful
You can do overnight sleepers in Japan _now_ , but I see what you mean about this ferry crossing deal between mainland Italy and Sicily.
Amazing engineering. Rome central is one of the best stations in Europe. Modern huge . the train both color scheme external and interior looks great. The welcome kit. Even in flights we dont get these days. Highlight is the ferry. What an experience. Superb. Trains in the ferry being pulled out. So exciting to see. Felt as if I travelled. Thank u for the coverage. Great job.
I used to take this train every summer when i was a child to visit my relatives in Siracusa
I really enjoyed the video, thumbs up!
That is the trip I wished for years, a train ride to Sicily. For now I never had the chance to do it, so thank you for, in some way, letting us experience your journey.
It's quite sad and perhaps unexpected to read how much you enjoy this train and how much you consider it useful and comfortable, since here in Italy almost everyone would prefer to take an airplane and Trenitalia cut almost every night train. Btw, until a few years ago you could go from north to Sicily, now only north to Calabria or Rome to Sicily. If you want to go from, say, Milano to Siracusa, you'd need to change train or take an airplane, choosing between a change in the middle of the night (if the first train has no delay!) or wasting an entire day.
Didn't know your channel, now I'm waiting for the next video! See you soon :)
Hai ragione, critichiamo ed evitiamo i nostri treni quando effettivamente abbiamo un'ottima rete ferroviaria :/
in realtà ho visto che in centrale partono ancora alcuni treni che vanno in sicilia, non sono tantissimi ma immagino anche per il tempo che ci impiegano
in centrale = a milano centrale*
Belle vidéo très intéressante notamment du fait que le train prenne le ferry ; c’est original
I still remember the train boarding the boat when I was four years old.
It was in 1965.
I saw the railway tracks on the boat.
many years ago, we took this sleeper from Roma - Palermo, great memories. Alas back with Alitalia Palermo-Roma-Amsterdam because of a family illness...
The only complaint I had while using the trains in Italy was the lack of handicapped accommodation. My husband has difficulty walking and there were countless times when to cross from one track to the other you had to go down stairs with luggage and then up stairs to the platform. No ramps, no elevators that were working at Roma Termini. This was 2017z
È un viaggio che faccio spesso, partendo però da Milano per Siracusa o Palermo, ed è bellissimo . Il viaggio in treno notte è poesia, il paesaggio poi è meraviglioso. Grazie per il tuo video ciao Sebastiano
Now this is flipping cool! Never seem this in my life! Awesome video! Great review!
I enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing. It looks like a beautiful journey down to Sicily! Merci beaucoup :-)
They put the train on a ship! What a hoot. I made this run from Rome to Sicily last fall en route to the Aeolian Islands and found that the train-ship-train connection to Sicily isn't widely known even among Italians. An unscientific sampling of several Italian friends about how trains make the watery crossing produced i dunnos and a tunnel among the answers. One of my best experiences in traveling around Italy has been crossing the Strait of Messina aboard a train that's aboard a huge ferry. Regarding the Intercity Notte, I had vaguely heard about it and your report fills in the gaps about how it works. Thanks for this great vlog.
I can confirm the impressions. These berths are way more comfy than those on duty with NJ's.
Travellers on a budget don't necessarily need an upgrade. Glad you enjoyed 'u ferrabottu.
Very cool. My dad and I took an overnight roomette coach from Hamburg to Copenhagen using a ferry back in 1980. I'll never forget waking up just in time to see the ferry docking in Denmark and the coaches being unloaded.
Intercities services (both sun and night) were very bad here in italy, until in 2017 the Until the CEO of Trenitalia decided to modernize the service, to create a cheaper service than the HSTs, slower but above all with the same comfort.
(ITA) il problema è che le ferrovie non sono Trenitalia, se lo fossero sono sicura molto andrebbe meglio... il problema è gestionale non dei treni, di per sé sono la versione migliore dei ter.
(ENG) the problem is that the railways are not Trenitalia, if they were I'm sure much would be better ... the problem is management not trains, in themselves they are the best version of the french ter.
The ferry is incredible:) Thanks a lot!
Wonderful! I have done this journey several times on the day train, but never on the overnight service. Pity you didn't show the volcano Etna or the beautiful station at Taormina-Giardini though.
Complimenti, l'esperienza del traghetto è stata sempre molto emozionante, io ci arrivavo partendo da Piacenza con l'espresso "FRECCIA DEL SUD". Le emozioni sono le stesse, anche se il viaggio era molto più scomodo.
Ooooohhh so nice, it's just something special when a train goes on a boat.
Comodo e rilassante xme sempre
W-W-W-Wonderful!!!, it looks like a travel from Milan to Marsala!!!
Bon vidéo Thibault! Je aime le trains Italiens
Thanks
@@Subscribe164 youre not simply railways but ok 😃😂
@dank_memer69 oh damn.
Video bellissimo e fatto molto bene, mi ha riportato ai tempi di quando da ragazzino facevo Roma - Messina... quanti ricordi
Didn't know loading trains into boats for normal operation was a thing 😯
Well,Luckily Here,Maybe the only place in Europe where The Load trains onto the ferries
@@gabri_maybe the other one is Puttgarden - Roedby (Germany - Denmark) but only until December 2019!
@@gabri_maybe There are some ferries for freight only across the Baltic.
Well there's the Trelleborg Sassnitz Ferry which is used by the privately run Berlin Night Express train between Malmö, Sweden and well... Berlin, Germany.
@@drdewott9154 ouch, completely forgot it. But it is only a seasonal operation.
I love your videos! congrats to this one, go ahaed bro! thanks a lot for sharing this
Brings back memories, made many crossings with that boat. Watched the trains coming and leaving...
I made that same trip in Dec 1979, but the train was so full due to Xmas we sat on the floor of the isle entire way. Thats ok when you are 20, i would prefer to do as you did in this vid. We crossed the straits of Messina at night, it was fun and beautiful. Thanks for the post.
This Is Next Level...First I Read The Title And Was Just Watching the Journey Ferry Comes and Make The Plot Twist Omg...Whole Train In The Ferry Thanks For Covering This Never Heard And Seen Before...🙌👍👍
@ 8:05 Its a little funny. The round sign says it's prohibited to move the wagon if any doors are open.😁
explorer914 is a coach of service, it no do passenger service/è una carrozza di servizio, non fa servizio passeggeri
Wow. What an incredible journey. Thank you for taking us along! 👏👍
And you changed your title to Toilet Time. ☺️🥳
What an amazing video!!! 😁😁😁
Brings back good memories from the ferry crossings Puttgarden - Rödby, and Helsingborg - Helsingör. The ferry service on the latter route was suspended on two occasions because of heavy seas.
"Wow so warm"... as I'm watching this video a further 100 km south of Sicily. Wait till summer. 😁
Thanks for the Idea! Next time i'l try to do
8:28 well, that coach was not so old, the revamping happened in early '00 (as Comfort coaches one).
Both types are UIC-Xs, but the white one is used on regional trains (as Corails in France, the same type is used on different services)
Beautifully expressed in terms of railways
After the ninth of December that crossing will be the last one all year passenger rail-ferry to operate in Europe when Rødby-Puttgarden will close for trains.
Ingemar Johnsson and so?
Ingemar Johnsson no it’s not azz hole
Thanks for the great and interesting train video. 👍👍👍👍👍
¡Excelente video! 😊
Awesome trains and nice trip
6:46
If you run out of trains a review on every ferry service in the world would be fun.
Merci Tous les souvenirs que tu as dans ta tête C'est génial Tu ne peux même pas imaginer la chance que tu as Il faudra que tu nous dises aussi c'est quelle partie de ton trip européen préférée. Les régions que tu as le mieux aimées. Là où les trains étaient les plus confortables. Mais tu as vraiment fait un trip de rêve.
The Ride of Rome to Sicily, is more beautiful and more amazing the shifting at the Ship, from the Earth Railway Track, I.e. more wonderful, I like to your this wonderful turning...
What a trip ..😍😍😍 ..
I think u really enjoyed the travel ...
The sound of pulling out the Train from ferry out reminds 'Titanic ' :P . Awesome Video Thanks.
Ottimo lavoro!!!
Great video, thanks
For Info They seem to have improved the rolling stock a bit since I used it in 2016 , the Excelsior cabins were getting a bit tired and the incorporated shower and toilet had a distinct drain smell.
However the journey was excellent , on time and when booked early very cheap , worked out at about 85 euros each for two cabins four people , there is no restaurant car so take your own food .
You can not beat the early morning crossing across the straights .
I believe only one of the services has the Excelsior cabins on , but that may have changed now .
Italian Railways are excellent , they have problems like all Railways but its a far more civilised way to travel , the very fast trains with all the different classes are recommended.
Roma Termini is indeed pretty huge though I prefer Milano Centrale over it. The outside Termini area isn't the best at night tho'.
Good video as always, wasn't expecting such nice coaches, thought they were older inside. Nice surprise. Having breakfast while gently sailing to Sicily is definitely a huge bonus! Out of curiosity, how much did you pay the one way ticket? Also, will you upload the Italo and Frecciargento trip report?
What a nice trip!
impressionant le moment du ferrie ! :o
Brilliant trip
Great video!
The ferry trip is so relaxing
no, its' boring considering the short distance between Villa and Messina stations.
Reminds me of the Dover -Dunkirk service back in the day.
That's one insane way to get in Sicilia
Nice video,and train in good condition for long distance drive
My former city I really missed this beautiful city." Siracusa che bella."
Muy bonitos esos trenes.
Me recuerdan a los trenes Intercity y tren cama de España de los 80-90
Once you could go from London to Paris in a sleeper. The Night Ferry it was called. Ended in the 1960s.
great voyage
Super video!
very nice and useful video
Did you do the return journey on the deluxe , would like to see the coaches , cant see a link but may have missed it
Da bambino andavo da Bologna a Palermo con il treno notte, che ricordi. Mi manca rifare quel tipo di viaggio
0:51 Damn, that’s triple the Size of New York Penn Stations main concourse
@@darkhunter2578 Milan Central and Rome terms are the largest stations in Europe.
So true, Penn Station is... dreadful. Sorry, I couldn't find a better term. This station is so plain and uninteresting, if not ugly, I have no memory of what it looks like.
The central railway station of Milan might be bigger that the Rome one!
@@paname514 The old Penn Station, which was demolished in the Sixties, was one of the most beautiful railway station in the world, made of glass, iron and marble, great halls and a lot of sunlight from the transparent roof. I strongly support the proposal of rebuilding it asit were: it's not impossible since most of stone blocks are recoverable from NJ marshes.
Penn Station is actually MUCH bigger than it seems. It’s separated into multiple separate areas: Amtrak, LIRR and NJT, giving the impression that it’s small. It isn’t. The Grand Central Terminal is the largest in the world!
Great Italian trip! Regards.
Very interesting
Nice job bro!
Very nice trip there was another ferry training between Germany to Denmark but unfortunately that's been rerouted and doesn't go on ferry anymore so I believe this is the only rail ferry serving europe now
Super video! Have you been on the Hamburg to Copenhagen train that goes on the ferry? They make everyone go to the upper deck. But it's closing soon I think, to build a tunnel.
Yeah they shut down in December 2019. Until the tunnel opens in 2028 or later, all the trains will be rerouted via the Great Belt bridge and Jutland. This is mostly so that the service won't be disrupted during the upgrading on either side to 200 km/h operation and electric traction.
Nice Job. People often ride the wrong section of this train and other trains directed to Palermo.
Great video! 👍👍👍 Like!
Enjoy 🚄😎
Nice video!
Hey there, really love your train reports.
I notice that you really love overnight trains. Well, I do to (travelled the Amsterdam - Munich EuroNight a couple of times). However, I don't really consider them the future of sustainable travel, like I feel you do. For example. If I would like to go from Amsterdam to Spain I could:
Take Thalys to Paris-Nord, then take a subway to Montparnasse and take the TGV to Hendaye. At Hendaye I could take the Metrorail to San Sebástian. It would take me about 12 hours and cost me € 80,-
Why would I take the more expensive overnight train? If this gets me to Spain in one day?
Nice! :)
4:39 probably a manual how to use the comb :D anyway nice trip report
The Intercity Night 35551 is the diverted of InterCity Night 1529. The first one goes via Formia and stops there and in my city (Latina), the 1529 doesn’t. I hope I can take this train when I will go to Sicily. Anyways, Nice trip reporting!👍
loved this video. How influencers should be. Quiet & informative. Less Kim Kardashian, more Simply Railway.
My friend traveled yesterday from Soverato Calabria to Messina Sicily
Bel video interessante, ho scoperto come si alza il bracciolo del sedile👍
Quel beau trajet. Les FS ont su moderniser leurs voitures de nuit, même si je ne trouve pas la livrée très drôle. Par contre, pour ma part, j'adore celle des trains régionaux. Merci pour cette belle vidéo. Un voyage à faire, assurément !
À partir de cette année jusqu'en 2021, plus de 800 nouveaux trains régionaux seront mis en service en Italie.
A partir de ce mois les livraisons ont commencé, je vous laisse une vidéo des nouveaux trains

Train on ferry is so cool
The Deluxe coaches were originally built for CIWL... so they should be pretty nice.
But it was in 60's 😬
I think I read about this train in *Italian Ways* by Tim Parks.
1:46 BEST PART! as italian i dont know how to feel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I realy like your videos and i want you to ask if you come to germany the next time
i hi I'm from Syracuse ... nice video
Very cool, I wonder if there is any wheelchair access on this service?
Tante volte ho fatto questo tragitto in treno.
Took a train like this went san francesco di poala northern calabria 13 hour train ride from siracusa all the way to northern calabria what a ride 27 or 28 yrs ago 1993
I've been on two overnight trains from Paris to Rome chaperoning two school trips. I found the crew totally missing. No one came to help us set up the sheets. This was particularly problematic for the lower bunk which needs to somehow be pulled out a bit. No freebies, in a couchette with 6 beds.
