For viewers in the USA, that's 357.16416 mph. And I would love to drink tea in Mumbai with Babu Bhai someday, but only if he promises to sing and play his drum! A girl can dream, right?! 😘
A normal jetairliner can fly maybe average 800 - 1000 km/h, but since you are so high up it seems so slow, imagine being at ground 5 times motorway speed, it is insane
It's well fit to go from say Paris to the south of France in a few hours. Also quicker for you don't have to drive 20 or 30 miles out of town to the airport and wait an hour to check in. Regular train will go at the max speed of 300/350 kph but will stop 2 or 3 times on the way.
Modern jet linners do 700 - 900 km/h, not 1 000. Because 1000 is transonic regime wjoch gives tricky aero consequences. Convair tried a transonic plane... it was too expensive to finish properly and noone wanted it
@@Spido68_the_spectator ehh no, modern (and even not-so-modern) airliners can reach and even cruise at transonic speeds just fine. Typical max mach number is 0.82 for the smaller airliners (B737, A320) and around 0.90 for some of the big boys (B747, A380), while cruise is around mach 0.78 and 0.85 respectively. At what mach number the transonic regime starts depends on the plane, but people have filmed normal shocks over the wing of an A321neo in cruise, which by definition means it was flying at transonic speed despite being among the slowest of modern airliners. (Converting mach to km/h depends on air temperature)
I'm glad the villagers see something French for once (even if the video is a bit pretentious). 574 km/h is a record speed in a straight line, which does not exist everywhere. I live 300 km from Paris and it takes 1h30 to get there by TGV because it slows down in town (especially obviously if it has to stop at a station) and in bends, its maximum speed in commercial operation is rather about 350 km/h (and you don't feel anything in the train, you have to reassure them). So if India is equipped with TGV, to do the 800 km which separate them from Mumbai, it would rather take 4h30 or 5h of journey.
Since Babu says that he wouldn't have the strength to travel on such a train, you should show them a video of normal travel onboard the TGV. The normal speed is about 300-350 km.h which is still very fast but you do not feel it except the moment you enter a tunnel as the air pressure affects your ears. Anyone who has the strength to travel onboard an Indian train has the strength to travel in the TGV...
I really love this video and have watched it several times, so glad you shared it with the guys! I love the look on the driver's face as he pushes for the record. The sensation of speed at 300-400 kmh isn't that strong but at 500+ it's _really_ moving, so impressive. I have ridden the TGV once (at normal ~300 kmh speeds) and it is a wonder and a delight, very smooth and safe feeling.
I love how Sarru said it'd take them 1.5 hours to Mumbai, and that joke they made about Babu Bhai going there just to have tea and back!! It's really great
Yea the big difference is reference to the speed. A Boeing 737, pretty typical passenger plane, cruises right about 800kph. But you don't look out the window and see stuff flying by at 800. I guarantee 500 on the ground feels a whole lot faster.
These guys need to check out a video of the Bonniville Salt Flats racing. The worlds fastest cars run there. Cars that look like land missiles and go over 600MPH (965 KPH) and more!
I took this type of train each time I visited Paris from Belgium, it's a very good train and very efficient but they're operating it at lower speed when they add all the passengers cars, 574 was a technical test/record breaking to see up to where the machine was able to go.
@@TheMarilith the ones that start to come in 2025 will be even more efficient 20% more efficient. But you won't see it for now because the first to come are on the major line Paris to the south via Lyon. The design has changed inside and outside, plus technical stuffs of course. The nose is longer.
I've only seen a Flying Scotsman, which was the fastest express train on the London to Edinburgh line in 1930's and broke the record at the time in 1934 at a speed of 100 m/h. Since a kid I'd like to see or be on a TGV, as the engineering that has gone into the design of not only the train, but other infrastructure to support high speed is impressive and has taken high speed rail to another level since the rolling out of the Bullet Train in Japan. The only accident I know of that involved these type of rail service was Madrid in Spain, where a high speed train came off the rails while taking a bend too fast due to human and signalling errors.
08:10 New Delhi to Mumbai is 1.470 km = With that train take ride this route 2 hours and 37 minutes with maximum speed but on travel speed 360 km/h 4 hours and 5 minutes. Your max 110km/h train make same route 13 hours 25 minutes and average travel speed 75 km/h = 19 hours and 35 minutes.
one thing i can say to you, mens, trhis is you could go from were you live to delhi whith this kind of train all day long maybe in 4H00. in real life our TGV can run perfectly safe at 200km/hour without any problem. The way on which a TGV runs is very special, if we can drive on it at 500 km per hour, at 200km/h it's easy. i travelled in this train, and you don't feel the speed, but the acceleration is crasy and the feeling of safety is great..
Maybe show them the new japanese magnetic levitation train they are currently testing. Its really futuristic and is going to do operations faster than any other train on the planet!

j'adore la réaction de ses trois hommes admiratifs et craintifs la personne a la même réaction que mes parents 11o KLM h ou 160 c'est déjà pas mal mais le jour où j'ai mis mes parents dans le tgv Atlantique c'était la panique quand on annoncé vitesse de croisière 300 .klmh du coup pour mon anniversaire j'ai eu droit un voyage avec eux dans le tgv 😂😂😂et ils ont pris goût
There are several reasons why trains wont go this fast. There is alot of turbulence and pressure that is being built up around it and can damage bridges and tunnels when it goes in. And the boom that will be creating when entering a tunnel can cause an earthquake :D
a commercial jet plane goes twice as fast and fighter jet planes go 4-5 times faster and a rocket that send satellites into space travels at 34000 mph...not kph but mph now thats fast son
Speeds would be more fairly compared with a modern Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 series (that the Village friends flew in) which cruise at well over 800kmh, not the stated 500kmh "average aircraft speed" in the video. This however does not detract from this remarkable train's performance and achievements.
@yvelo4881 incompatibility with all other rail is kinda the point in case of shinkansen trains. It's a separate system that can be specialized for high speed rail
Whilst attaining a speed of 574km/h is impressive I think the fact that the train is not full length does make the achievement less impressive. I'd be keen to know how fast a typical length train could go.
That's a specially tuned train. They took the regular 5 car TGV, tuned the engine, changed the wheels, and did other modification to lower the weight to 250tons instead of the over 350tons to achieve this speed. A regular TGV can't go past 320km/h in any length configuration and generally doesn't go past 300km/h for many reasons. The fastest TGV I have been in went to 315km/h from Paris to Lyon. By the way the train that did the record, TGV POS 4402, was restored to original spec and reintegrated to the commercial fleet and as far as I know it is still running. It can be identified by the commemorative "plaque" that was added to it.
@@thekyler9529 A TGV can go beyond 320 km/h, the "Sardine Operation" is a example of this. A normal TGV Réseau covered the longest possible journey by train in France (Calais-Marseille, 1067 km) in 3h29 for a average speed of 306,37 km/h, for the opening of the Mediterranean HSL in 2001. It reached a top speed of 366,7 km/h in the Avignon Double Viaduct, near the station of the same name. There's also the "Broom trains" used to check the tracks before the TGV records: for the 2007 record, the POS n°4404 was used to ensure the final check of the track (at 380 km/h) before each operation at very high speed. The only modification it has had is that its power cars have received larger diameter wheels, in order to have the hitches at the same level as that of the V150 to be able to tow it outside of testing periods. Even the trains used to test the new HSLs runs at 360 km/h.
The reasons why they don't go at that speed are the rapid wear of equipment (catenary, tracks, etc...),it would therefore be necessary to maintain the railway tracks and trains even more regularly, too frequent stops and by increasing the latter, the journey time would only be shortened by only several minutes for higher maintenance costs and higher ticket prices, which is not really worth it.
fun fact, tgv stands for très grande vitesse (pronounced tre-grahnd-vitess) which is french for very high speed, but vhs is alsoready a thing in english :p I think japan has done it even faster though!
TGV stands for "train à grande vitesse", not "très grande vitesse", so its English acronym would be HST (High Speed Train), not VHS. And this is still the record for trains with wheels, even if a Japanese maglev train (magnetic levitation without wheels) has reached 603 kph.
He wont go on this train, but hell do an indian train. Some of the most dangerous transport on the planet. How well informed they are. You would never get me on an indian train. Hell NO! Also, they can t have fast tains as their tracks are some of the worst ever seen. You cant go fast in india...always wondered why that rich guy wants to live there and have 30 sportscars and whatnot. How long does the roads that can handle a Lamborghini go on for. 1 hour 2 hours ? Telling you, youre not driving 800 kph in India in a Supercar.. i have a feeling a good road is in the capital and then that's it..
Well I would never travel on something like that - its foolish. They cannot predict if an animal comes across the tracks like a large animal which certainly would be instantly destroyed but in the process, it could derail the train. Anyway I would never use it.
Your baseless critique is foolish. As of today, only 15 accidents have taken place on the TGV lines while 1,2 billion passengers have travelled on the TGV. Some studies even concluded that you were 17 times more likely to die while traveling in a car, compared with on a train, for the same distance.
The TGV is one of the safest train in the world... The equivalent of 50 billion passengers take it every year (if you count someone as a new passenger for every trip) and have been doing so for decades. There hasn't been a single death in high speed operations, ever and only a few deaths in low speed tracks because of collisions with road vehicles, but it is extremely rare.
tgv tests survived trucks and didnt derailed cause wagons are locked in by the boogeys ( and thus, the railways turns are wide because it can t take tight turns), a tgv derailed at 270kmh, with 348 passengers, remained inline and not in a origami style like a regular train (and probably 348 deaths too) no death, the railway had a terrain drop and one rail was lowered by 20cm. the engine unit and the 4 first wagons left the railway but remained still and inline (because of the locked wagons)
You wouldn't catch me in that thing: whether it's real running speed is 350kmh or 500+, one stone on the tracks, or one idiot throwing something at the train from an overpass would be enough to cause a catastrophic failure and carnage. Interesting for sure but no thanks
You see, the people of France and many other countries in Europe and asia are not fools, we do not mess with trains, maybe this does not apply in India but otherwise its very very safe.
The equivalent of billions of passengers take that type of train (TGV) every year (counting a passenger as one every time they take the train), and have been doing so for decades. I've traveled to Paris dozens of times on the fastest TGV line. It's a smooth ride, and it is perfectly safe. It would take a huge object thrown on the tracks to derail such a train, and there are many safeties in place to make sure this never happens. In fact, since the first TGV line has been opened to the public in 1981, there hasn't been a single death in high speed operations. The only (very few) deaths of TGV passengers took place on low speed tracks and mostly because of collisions with road vehicles in crossings (which do not exist on high speed tracks)
the boogeys are between wagons (and not totally under them like regular cars )and they hold in them aligned unlike other trains, so if it a coin or seomthing, it has to make 2 wagons to jump and not half of one like a regular train which has its boogeys totally under them, so if a TGV derailed they would ended in straight lines and not like an origami one like regular trains (cars can t be twisted in TGV, they are locked by the boogeys) , the drawback is that u cant add a wagonor 2, u can only add another full length train linked by the engines units.when they tested the TGV in the 80s, they put like 20 coins on the railway to test the train, it didn t flinched at all. speed+weight +boogeys just crushed the coins.
My dad worked on that train 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

They did a unit conversion error. I am pretty sure, the pilots talked about 500 knots. 500 knots are 926 km/h.
Simple take the TGV video and speed x2
Modern jet linners do 700 - 900 km/h, not 1 000. Because 1000 is transonic regime wjoch gives tricky aero consequences. Convair tried a transonic plane... it was too expensive to finish properly and noone wanted it

visited Paris once, took the TGV from Cologne to Paris North, the top speed (between Brussels and Paris) was a bit over 300 km/h. Was a nice ride :D
Delhi to Mumbai in 5 hrs!! Sounds cool.👍
A long trip, But still a huge improvement
The world record doesn't represent the train speed in normal circumstances ? No sh*t Sherlock lol.
It was to prove that a train running at 350 for commercial use was a sure lean of transport. If it can go without issue to 570 then 350 is ez
Hats of to the people of France, and the SS Normandie, the most beautiful Ocean Liner ever built!!!!!
Merci😊😊😊
Try some videos of trains dealing with huge amounts of snow. Some of those have crazy large snowblowers to clear the tracks.
Those videos are really fun to watch! Especially the one clip of a station where people are standing by the tracks like idiots, LOL. BAMF!

merci pour eux les enfants!!!, heureux que ça vous ait plu!.
Nos TGV (trains à grande vitesse) roulent en moyenne à 300 ou 320 km/h. Dans ce reportage, le train était préparé pour battre un record du monde.

Sir : "What is the fastest train you have seen so far?"
Me in Canada : 'NOT VIA RAIL' ...... you have to be Canadian to understand 😆
I saw this video. It is astounding that a train on rails go that fast.
574.8 kph is akin to 357.2mph. That's faster than a typical NHRA Funny Car or Top Fuel Dragster.
did you saw, how smooth the ride been....at 574kph, its moved less than in a Amtrak at 20mph!
Maglev trains can go even faster but they don't move on train tracks.

I'm pretty sure the pilots you asked told you that the average speed of a turbojet aircraft is 500 knots, not 500 km/h.
500 knots is 926 km/h.
Yeah but airplanes suck, they are slow, uncomfortable, noisy and inefficient for short trips, and they emit crazy amounts of CO2.

tgv tests survived trucks and didnt derailed cause wagons are locked in by the boogeys ( and thus, the railways turns are wide because it can t take tight turns), a tgv derailed at 270kmh, with 348 passengers, remained inline and not in a origami style like a regular train (and probably 348 deaths too) no death, the railway had a terrain drop and one rail was lowered by 20cm. the engine unit and the 4 first wagons left the railway but remained still and inline (because of the locked wagons)
You wouldn't catch me in that thing: whether it's real running speed is 350kmh or 500+, one stone on the tracks, or one idiot throwing something at the train from an overpass would be enough to cause a catastrophic failure and carnage. Interesting for sure but no thanks
You see, the people of France and many other countries in Europe and asia are not fools, we do not mess with trains, maybe this does not apply in India but otherwise its very very safe.
@@pipeqez911 Sure... very safe. Right up until it isn't 😀
The equivalent of billions of passengers take that type of train (TGV) every year (counting a passenger as one every time they take the train), and have been doing so for decades. I've traveled to Paris dozens of times on the fastest TGV line. It's a smooth ride, and it is perfectly safe. It would take a huge object thrown on the tracks to derail such a train, and there are many safeties in place to make sure this never happens. In fact, since the first TGV line has been opened to the public in 1981, there hasn't been a single death in high speed operations. The only (very few) deaths of TGV passengers took place on low speed tracks and mostly because of collisions with road vehicles in crossings (which do not exist on high speed tracks)
the boogeys are between wagons (and not totally under them like regular cars )and they hold in them aligned unlike other trains, so if it a coin or seomthing, it has to make 2 wagons to jump and not half of one like a regular train which has its boogeys totally under them, so if a TGV derailed they would ended in straight lines and not like an origami one like regular trains (cars can t be twisted in TGV, they are locked by the boogeys) , the drawback is that u cant add a wagonor 2, u can only add another full length train linked by the engines units.when they tested the TGV in the 80s, they put like 20 coins on the railway to test the train, it didn t flinched at all. speed+weight +boogeys just crushed the coins.
What for to take such risk? Make your life longer and travel slow!

These guys are not that smart xD
What a crappy background-sound ...
Scary, isn’t it.
this video is a joke ?
What are you talking about ? The record or the reaction video itself ?

Qu'est ce que je regarde encore moi?!!
