Hi! What an amazing video, thanks for the impressions. Do you know how many Skoda trains will enter service this friday, and do you have an estimate how quickly it will happen that the current ER2`s are getting rare? Planning to visit Latvia over Easter and would love to have a chance to check out both types :)
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! 🙂 Strict date when ER2 trains will be phased out is not known yet, but most probably it will be not earlier than summer 2024. I think you will have a chance to explore both of them 🙂
i really hope i can ride the ER2 trains (when i go back to latvia) atleast one last time before they get retired (if they are still in service), i am hopefully going back there soon
Still in service, but Škoda 16Ev trains just got permission to be used in passenger service. Latvian Ministry of Transport also promised that new trains will start replacing ER2/ER2T rolling stock in the first weeks of December 2023. Those won't be replaced all at once, but rather one by one with a 1 to 1.5 weeks interval (or my more pessimistic prediction: 2 to 3 weeks). So there's still a chance to catch them during the beginning of 2024, maybe even during the spring time of year.
Hi Vlad, I have a request for you - if you can, can you make a video of railway infrastructure of the 19th century (up to 1915) around Riga? There are many items being used and in abandoned conditions such as old stations, turning tables for the locomotives, water towers, old tunnels, bridges, depots, and even the metal structures that use recycled old railway tracks (you can find the year of manufacture)? Maybe a separate video for Riga tramways, of the same theme? Thanks in advance!
Эх, смотрю на это красочное видео, и понимаю, как же я сильно уже устал от зимы(

@complexman4302 thanks, I will try my best to ride one before they are out of service
Yeap, you have few months left for sure. We'll see how it goes afterwards.
Jau no intro redz, ka būs superīgs video
Liels paldies! 🤩
Отлично 👍
Спасибо! 🙂
Jā. Šis ir labs video! Lai gan šogad esmu vairāk ar auto pārvietojies nekā ar vilcienu, bet tomēr biju pāris reizes braucis.
Paldies! 🙂

Hey! Will see what is possible to find (and to film) these places.
Hi, new subscriber. Thanks for these interesting diesel and electric trains. Is it Standard gauge in Latvia?
Hi, Welcome aboard! 🙂 Nope, we have 1520mm gauge a.k.a “russian gauge”.
@@Aviationvlad Thanks is that broad or narrow? Or broader than most others?
