My longest ever train journey lasted for 94 hours: from Krasnoyarsk to Vladivostok (more than 5000 km). I suppose I was the only person in the whole carriage to travel for such a distance. In fact, very few people today a using trains in Russia for such a long distance. As flights between big cities a not only much faster, but also usually cheaper than kupe. However, for those who live in smaller settlements, long-distance trains remain crucial public transport. For Kazakhstan, the situation today is the same, despite train ticket price there is almost 3 times cheaper than in Russia
One day I will do this 😀
what a great trip! impressed at how well you slept thru this and didn't realize how huge Kazakhstan is geographically
Isn't it just!
Congratulations on the milestone. This is another high quality production of the standard we have come to expect and it's great to know you had like-minded company to enjoy the experience. Looking forward to the next 250 😄
Thank you very much Chris this means a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Really good that you've shown us somewhere we wouldn't normally see. Glad to see you were 'team travelling' I watch their channels as well. How did you decide who had which bunk?
Thank Kevin! Very easy we put Simon on the top (less subs 😂)
@@NonstopEurotrip Good call! But I'm sure he'll catch up, keep up the good work all three of you.
What a spectacular trip! Simply insane and quite the adventure :D Thanks for sharing it with us! Nice to see the train attendant smiling/waving every time! Kazakhstan looks like such an interesting country. Cheers from The Netherlands!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would love to visit Kazakhstan in the future, seems like a great country to visit.
You definitely should, I can't wait to go back! 😀
Dear Friend, "рақмет сізге": "Thank you" for taking us along on this long train journey. My longest so far has been from Bangalore to Guwahati, ~2969 km.!, Crossing the Majestic Brahmaputra River was an adventure in itself...Liked your well-paced commentary and shots...Kazakh names are fascinating...keep travelling and stay safe...Amen.
Wow, thank you 😊
Congratulations on 250! Always an interesting program!
Kazakhstan is such a fascinating country, and your video really shows that. Great job 👍
Thank you! 😃
No wifi is a blessing
Just watch the vast expanse trundle by...
A
For 63 hours 👀
Congrats to the 250!🎉😊
Thank you so much 😃
16:16 I, personally, am looking forward to your review of the ones that *have* been on fire 🔥 this looked like a great adventure. Quite amazing to see a reminder of just how vast and empty the steppe is. And unbelievable that it pulled in on time, just how ?!
Thanks buddy! Idk how I condensed 63 hours into 20 minutes actually LOL
Happy 250th! The vast plains are much like what we have here in the US, so it felt cozy and familiar.. Here's to more trains!
Thank so much 👍🏻
been on the Aktau-Tashkent service... it's quite a thing indeed (or was back in the day - this was around 93ish)... went through both steps and mountains for a part of the time...
believe it is also part of the alignment of the planned high-speed service from China to Europe.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Great video !!
Thanks! 😊
Happy 250th... :). It's great that you have maintained the quality of the channel and the variety. I look forward to my weekends a little bit more for your adventures.. :) Thank you.
Thank you very much! 😊🙏🏻
When will you finally visit Australia?
Our trains aren't that speedy nor spanking new modern but they still have plenty of exotic train experiences on offer:
"The Indian Pacific", "The Ghan", "Brisbane to Cairns tilt train", "Kuranda Railway", "Puffing Billy", "The Savanna Lander", etc.
One day, but no plans yet. Many other, and much cheaper places to explore first!
Oh, it's already been Nur-Sultan for 2 years.
It's currently Astana again.
My two longest journeys in post-soviet countries have both been around 70 hours: the first in 2013 from Irkutsk to Vladivostok as part of my journey along the Transsiberian railway, where we took more stops before to explore the cities along the way and used the long-distance trains most times only at night to change the city, and the second in 2019 from Kiev to Baku via Kharkiv, Volgograd and Derbent, which is no longer possible for obvious reasons. The last one didn't have a dining car too, but it was no problem to shop along the way too.
Congratulations for your 250th video 🙂
*Kyiv
Thanks for sharing 😊
Congratulations on your 250th video have seen a lot of them but not all and look forward to the next 250
Thanks 👍 Now go back and watch some more 😂
What a great trip. From west to east of Kazakhstan, and surprisingly for this long distance route, departing on time and arriving also on time, nice. Thankfully the stop at stations is enough for food shopping.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁😁😁
Did you get to eat horsemeat while you were there? When I was in Almaty about 18 years ago, I had a lot, unwittingly: it was a bit of a staple food then. Minced and packaged it looks like the beef I thought I had bought in my local supermarket. I went to a restaurant with a mate and some locals one evening and it was also served sliced like steak, and in what looked and tasted like cornish pasties. Surprisingly tasty!
Vegetarian 👀
Great video! Congratulations on reaching 250!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations 🎉NonStop Euro trip for 250th video😊.❤
Thanks! 😃
Congratulations on your 250th video here to the next 250🥂🥂
Thanks 😊👍🏻
Love your content. What a fascinating ride. Cental Asia is one of the most exciting places out there. Hope you lads had a good ride thru KZ. cheers
We certainly did 😁
Congrats on 250 videos! 🎉🎊
A truly epic trip across a huge country that I now can't help to want to do.
Couple of questions, if you see this.
1. Is it possible to book out the whole cabin for one person? Do they allow that? Asking for a socially inept friend 😉
2. Is Kazakhstan easy to travel for Westerners? I assume English isn't well spoken, but are people friendly and easy to communicate with? Are basic traveller streetwise skills enough or are there more tips to be aware? No offence, Kazakhstanis.
You can book the whole cabin, but would have to book 4 tickets... and I found the whole country very easy to travel, cheap and very fun! 😁
Interesting journey! Congrats on your milestone!
Thank you so much!

Very different
how a wonderful!
Awesome vid 😊
Thanks 😁
This nice video reminds me Dom DeLouise in "Twelve chairs".
😂😂😂
Bom dia ótimo video excelente video amei legal trem show
Very nice place
It really is!
Those pizzas looked delicious 😋
They were!
With build-in pauses of 15 to 40 minutes any railway company can keep up with timetables 😂
True that 😂
Which month did you film this video? It looks like summer with people wearing shorts as it is bitter cold most of the time over there in Northern Kazakhstan.
The date of filming is always in the description
@@NonstopEurotripaccording to your travel date, November it is very cold in Kazakhstan. I saw on accuweather, maximum temperature in Aktau and Semey was below 10 degree celcius during that period. I wonder how you guys wore shorts and T shirts. Maybe it is summer weather for Kazakhs and Brits as you guys live most of the time below 0 degrees celcius most time of the year.
What were Superalbs and Simon Anderson doing while you were filiming this video? Were they also filming?
Yes, but we shared the windows 😆
When do you add the narration? During filming or editing?
@@samtrak1204 editing
The greatest crossover ever...
😇😇😇
Nice video, but 62 hours is less than three days. So where did the fourth day come from? Or am I missing something? My apologies if I have missed something.
4 calendar day, Sunday to wednesday
Can you get past Semey?
👀
Railways never use "samovar"; this type of water heater is called "Titan".
Untrue
@@NonstopEurotrip what? You don't believe people who actually live in ex-USSR countries? That's a high level of ignorance.
3:42 из окна видны вагоны поезда, который раньше ходил по маршруту Рига - Москва. Вагоны даже не перекрасили.
Indeed
did everyone just walk around the security scanner lol?
Yep 😂
As a person from Kazakhstan who hasn't traveled on a non-Talgo style trains for a veery long time, I'm surprised that we now have modern carriages. I am more used to Soviet style trains. I wonder if these new ones are Russian made or local.
These are Ukrainian built coaches
@@NonstopEurotrip nice, I hope Kazakhstan will make similar ones. Although I would prefer a bit of a wooden touch, rather than pure metal.
When you travel with your RUclips buddies do y’all take turns filming or is it free for all?
We have agreements in place LOL. Mainly on release timescales, etc.
Any sign of Borat?
Of course! We're shared a few vodkas 👀
250 videos. That's a lot of toilets... Congratulations buddy..
Tell me about it Mark 😂 And thanks! 🙏🏻
Проезд людей с ограниченными возможностями возможен с сопровождающим в штабном вагоне, где едет начальник поезда
That's not very accessible
Hey! You just said you wouldn't report on pricing, and then in this video you report on shop pricing! It's your video, but it's a good idea. Gives your coverage a little more granule detail. Alot of people watching are imagining they'll follow you and want those kinds of smart heads ups. Of course, just a suggestion.
Saying I wasn't ripped off is hardly commenting on the pricing 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip You said pricing was good at other stops. BTW, I would much rather jump off the train and buy authentic local delicacies cheap than buy overpriced dining car food.
@@hemaccabe4292 well, we didn't have that problem at least LOL
Semey.. or Semipalatinsk... The test range ground of Soviet atomic weapon...
Yeah 😐
You ate local food from vendors with no problems?
Yes, but I'm this isn't India lol 😂
Ukraine made coach)))
Do you and SuperAlbs just swap vlogs and put your name and voice on it.
No.
Зачем 🤔
Why not?
Привет! На всякий случай отпишусь с комментарием по поводу ньюасов с душем в поездах на постсоветском пространстве. Если вам попадется старый вагон без душа, то спросите у проводника где вы можете принять душ в поезде? Как правило это вагон начальника поезда, по крайней мере так без проблем можно сделать в России. Так же как и в России в Казахстане наверняка есть доставка еды курьером к поезду, только этот сервис работает в янедкс, не в google. Удачных путешествий!👍
Ну ты ему насоветовал🥴
@@runoflife87 В прошлом году знкомые из Италии ездили на поездах к Байкалу и у всех одна и таже проблема с душем и едой.🙂
Interesting!
Are they changing their alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin? I think I read somewhere that was another thing they changed, in addition to the name of... well, let's call it Astana for now.
I think so, but it's very mixed still....
They're trying to shake off their colonial past. They need to reclaim their language and culture.
If you want to pass the time even more pleasantly, bring an attractive young lady along next time who's in an agreeable mood. ;)
I had Superalbs 🙃
@@NonstopEurotrip I'm sure Superalbs was lovely company, not as good as an attractive young lady who's in an agreeable mood though.
did you not shower for 3 nights??
🤥🤥🤥
@@user-pg7hk5kf1j timestamp please?
Do you think that maybe your "ON TIME" gloating has to do with the low speed (31.4 miles/hour) and I suspect much less traffic on the rails? I think it is unfair to badmouth Europe's trains when comparing them to Kazakhstan's trains.
Not at all.
@@NonstopEurotrip Well, that certainly explains your ability to assess a situation --- or rather lack thereof.
You seem to be a bit of a small minded type cestmoi, you obviously haven’t travelled much on the overpriced, poor rolling stock in the UK.
@@pirrezz I must confess that I am small minded when it comes to railroads in the UK. Never used them. I was thinking more of German trains --- though I do admit that there are often delays.
"Don't speak english?" is bad announcement to write in english
Most people with a small grasp on a language understand that phrase. I don't speak German or Italian but I know what that phrase is in both and I would then select the appropriate subtitles
What are you going to do as you now have been everywhere and your stuff is the same every week
I have even been to half the places I want to go to... And what do you mean by 'the stuff is the same every week's... And Indonesian sleeper bus, followed by a Czech Pendolino followed by a 4 day trip across Kazakhstan? Couldn't really be much different
250Congrats
Thanks Sam 😁
Thank you for this video. I wanted to know if I would enjoy going on this sleeper train for 4 days and 3 nights but I don't think I would! I don't think I could use other toilets and no showers for the 4 days with limited access outside and limited food!
Glad to be of assistance 😂
