FASTEST BULLET TRAIN in the NETHERLANDS (Amsterdam to Rotterdam) 🇳🇱
What do you think of this video? Any advice or ideas to make it better? 🤔🥰
We’re really trying to improve and would love to hear your feedback! ❤️
remove the bike reference.... you were walking in circles and standing in the middle of a bike lane. What do you think would happen if you d do that in the middle of the road in any US city? Makes you look like a..... fill in the blank yourself
A bicycle on a bicycle path! What a coincidence!
Lol. Fair 😂
Fun fact, there is a hotel/hostel in the Rotterdam cube houses. This is also the cheapest place to sleep in Rotterdam. Standard price of 30 euros per night in a dorm room!
You might have missed it but Rotterdam is a city that was bombed to the ground in WW2, so almost every building you see is made after that with 2 exceptions, the two oldest football stadiums in the netherlands where spared. The oldest being from 1916!
Wow!! That’d be amazing to sleep in. We knew there was one in there but had no idea it was that cheap! 🤯
Greetings from New Orleans! You both speak at the perfect level, easy to understand. Learning a lot from you both.
Thank you so much!! 🥰🤗 appreciate it we love to hear our videos are loved
Never stand on the bike lane! Not the fault of the biker to run you over.
Good to know! Thank you for helping keep us safe 😊
You two are a great couple. The excitement in seeing Amsterdam was great. What a city!
Thank you so much!!! We looooved the Netherlands. Where are you from??!! 🤔🤗
Fun fact: Dutch is part of the Germanic language which has two sub-divisions (West and North). West Germanic consists of English, German, and Dutch and North Germanic consists of Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
That’s super interesting!! Makes sense then how similar all 6 of those languages are! 🤗
Ok, this must have been the most expensive way to get from Amsterdam to Rotterdam 😂
Intercity tickets would probably have been cheaper.
@@user-me6lm5lw8m absolutely, but less fun obviously. And less fast as well of course. But it would have taken you through some interesting cities and train stations. Cities like Haarlem, Leiden, The Hague & Delft.
Yeah lol but very fun! Plus we got to make a vid out of it 😘
XXD
This is actually a French train. It cannot go fast in the Netherlands as the special track has not been laid. Not worth it is such a small country....
Had no idea! It was pretty snazzy
The maximum speed in the Netherlands is 300 kilometers per hour, which can be used by Thalys as Eurostar on the HSL-Zuid.
@@Amsterdam1999Yeah but not between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Better to take the regular service(s) by NS.
That’s not true actually. The Netherlands has a high speed line running from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, and from Rotterdam to the Belgian border.
Dear@@WyattandReyka , better next time just buy a Intercity train ticket -
FUN FACT -> Thalys isnt dutch. its FRench train..
And from a GB company called eurostar..
I work @ Rotterdam Centrale station.. we dont like the internatiole trains lol
Super interesting. Why don’t you like the international trains? 🤔🤔
You went to Rotterdam and didn't try Kapsalon? I think you will have a pleasant surprise...Fallafel is nice as well...let me know!
We will next time 🥰❤️🤔 thank you!! Cheers hope you have a great day!
Just found out that their is a muesum for the Cube Houses, plus hostel.
We found that out too! It was unfortunately not in our budget but it is a wonderful idea for sure!! Thanks for watching!🥰❤️
the dutch system allows you to use a contactless card to check in and out so no need to grab a metro ticket - also whilst the thalys/ic direct is quicker most of it is in a tunnel - just use a normal ic train take a seat on the top deck and watch the world go by it takes about 30 mins longer but is only around 17€ each.
Sounds convenient!! Next time we’ll do that haha
Yesss you visit a real Dutch city haha
Lol. Rotterdam is super cool!
The fact they're genuinely thinking Thalys is a Dutch train is hilarious.😂
The fact they're thinking Thalys is a bullet train in the Netherland is even more hilarious.🤣
Lol glad we gave you a good laugh. Yeah, our mistake haha. In our defense, it was really hard to find info on the Thalys online. But this was literally last year so it's hard to remember lol. Fact checking is a skill we are steadily improving on 👍
@@WyattandReyka I love your answer. You seem both great travelers and I wish you all the best for your future travels, especially in Europe. Come back again. In France where you can really experience TGV to its maximum speed ! 🥳 ICE in Germany is good too but doesn't go as fast as TGV/Eurostar (Thalys is now Eurostar). All the best and keep us updated with your travels ! 🤗
@@nashtags Daw thank you so much! You are so sweet! 🥰 We DEFINITELY will try to do that! Would absolutely love to try out TGV and it's maximum speed. Will defintely keep you udpated. We hope to go back to Europe at some point this year! 🤗 Where in France are you from?
@@WyattandReyka Greater Paris. :)
Thalys is (was) actually a Belgian company with headquarters in Brussels. However, some of the Thalys train sets are owned by the Dutch state railways and actually carry the NS logo. Furthermore, the term Bullet train is being used here as a generic name for high-speed trains. Thalys/Eurostar reaches 300 kmh between Schiphol and Rotterdam, as well as from Rotterdam to Antwerp. That is not an unusual speed for high-speed trains, including Japanese Bullet Trains.
So, to me it seems not that hilarious to refer to this train ride on a Dutch high speed railway line as a Dutch bullet train.
3:55 you call that a lot of legroom?
Lol. You should see of the spaces we've been shoved in after traveling the past few years. Even having a few extra inches is luxury for us
@@WyattandReyka thalys is like the most cramped train in the entire country if you asked me so i was a little shocked to hear that haha
Super fair haha. And which is the best train do you think? @@Project_Slagharen
@@WyattandReyka Well, both VIRM and DDZ have a lot of leggroom in my opinion
Faster trains in Indonesia are 350km/H
Hahah we’re for sure heading to Indonesia soon
The Thalys is a French TGV, its top recorded speed is 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) but of course actual service speed is limited in order to not deteriorate the infrastructure. Also, Thalys only reaches its top operational speed of 300 km/h in France, as the NL and Belgium decided not to build dedicated high-speed lines because of their small size. Thalys is now merged with Eurostar, but will likely keep its own branding for now.
@@Sayitlikitiz101Incorrect. Netherlands and Belgium did build dedicated high speed lines and Thalys and Eurostar actually travel at 300 kph.
@@Sayitlikitiz101 The Netherlands has high-speed line, HSL-Zuid. Max speed is 300 km/h (190 mph). Two SNCF TGV Thalys PBKA trains are owned by NS (dutch railways), but part of Thalys (now Eurostar).
