    As a Norwegian I have done this trip 100s(?) of times... but, to see it through the eyes of an "outsider" made me see the beauty of this country from a bit different perspective... and I am thankful that you took the effort to make this video! :)

      And I am ever happier that you as a Nirwefian watched my video about this trip. You are lucky to get to enjoy such a beautiful landscape. Like when flying and the ever changing views offered I would never get tired of such tremendous journey. I am also thinking about trying the train line towards the artic circle (for next summer)

    • @Steveclipss
      @Steveclipss 6 лет назад

      Yes!we have rail transport from Mombasa(coastal region)to Nairobi city.Its a stretch of over 500kms and its supposed to go all the way to malaba boarder then cross to Uganda.But for now the section upto Nairobi is completed.They are diesel engines but going at 115kms/h to 120kms/h enjoy the good scenery feom the coast through the tsavo national park where you can see wild animals like elephants etc.They are plans to upgrade it to electric.Also a section from nairobi to malaba is almost done,that is to Naivasha.Theres a tunnel and you will also enjoy the escarpments etc when complete.

    • @Speedbird1FLY
      @Speedbird1FLY  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks Stephen. That's such a great tip and I hope to add Kenya to my list of destinations. I do enjoy combining transport modes and train travel offers such a great way to see more of a country. I've only published 2 train travel videos so far - the one about the Bergensbanen you watched and another one from a train trip I did in South Africa last year (ruclips.net/video/dQMvSVxDuqU/видео.html ) . I am currently editng a video of a train journey I did in the UK. This is in addition to the other air travel videos I publish :-) So great to be able to share, I learn from other videos and the great comments like yours. This makes the RUclips eperience so enriching

I also release another video of a train truip in South Africa. Still quite scenic (maybe not as stunning as the diverse landscape on the Bergensbanen) but I hold this trip dear as I left this train service in SA deserves a better recognition ruclips.net/video/dQMvSVxDuqU/видео.html

    Yes this is definitely one of Europe’s best train journeys. I’ve got an ambition to do the Glacier Express or a similar train in Switzerland next year! And the Milan-Palermo sleeper too. That includes a train ferry 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    • @Speedbird1FLY
      @Speedbird1FLY  7 лет назад +1

      Paul's Trip Reports glad you enjoyed the ride 😎 the Swiss glacier train should be most impressive. I remember going a train from Zurich to solothurn and it was most pleasant (nice food in the restaurant carriage). The sleeper to Palermo sounds like an exciting trip. I am quite impressed about what I read on Italian high speed trains... good excuse for another open jaw ticket. I look forward to your future trip reports. Take care 🛫✈️🚅

    I recently watched the full 7 hour video of the Bergen to Oslo trip on Netflix. The video was entirely shot straight ahead (ie driver's perspective) with no music or narration, only ambient carriage noise. Only added noise was the occasional "bong" to indicate a station or tunnel along with supers for station/tunnel name, tunnel length and when built. The scenery is absolutely stunning and captivating. I love train train travel and this is the best virtual journey I've ever taken. I hope to travel to Norway do the real thing. Netflix also had a shorter, more commercial, video of the train trip from Trondheim to Bodø in the Arctic Circle. This is also a must-see IMO.

      I had to take a look at this one, not because I have been on the train. But since I've trekked part of the distance - the highest part. And yes correct, there's no driving road, I trekked on the ridges and hills with the railroad in sight for most of my path - near the western part of your railroad trip I turned south and went down over the glaciers and snowfields, which turned out somewhat precarious as the weather would not cooperate and I had fog for quite a part of my journey - and nearly got lost for a bit as I got disorientated from not seeing where I were supposed to be going.
      Thank you for sharing, it gave me a few flashbacks from my own experience. :)

    • @andersforsgren3806
      @andersforsgren3806 7 лет назад +1

      Oh I did a bit of head scratching when I were lost, but I had the common sense to backtrack to some markers made from piled stones I had noted earlier - so it was just a good challenge. I actually did see two of those bikers as they biked along the railroad bank - I had a look at the map to refresh my memory and indeed, as they were heading west they were indeed going to Myrdal. :)

      You usually never visit the places that tourists visit in your own country after having been a kid. I'm from the Netherlands and only went to the Rijksmuseum once when I was like 10 years old.

    Absolutley stunning views. Excellent video,very informative and edited very well. Love Norway, who doesnt? The views are just spectacular. Here in the UK we dont have such landscapes unless one is up in Scotland,Wales or deep into the countryside. We certainly dont have Mountains with snow upon them (unless its winter) and the lovely houses spread around in sparse areas. Excellent!!! Christmas card themes. Trains so bright and clean! not vandalised.

      I'd recommend either visiting several places at once or spreading out different visits.
      Depending on how far up down you are in the country you find (from South to North) mostly flat farmlands, lush forests, rockies mixed with forests and as you go further north colder forests all the way up to cold most of the year minor mountain ranges :)

    Thanks very much for this excellent video. Really enjoyed it!
    We went through much of the same line not long ago. The only differences are: the timing as we're in late May; the train ran from Oslo to Bergen; and we got off at Myrdal for Flam. This video gets us the impulse to take it again around the fall season. Being in spring, the scenery along the line is very different in the sense of more snow coverage landscape as well as running rapids from melted snow.
    On top of the more spaceous seat and better amenities, the Komfort class may have one more advantage for video recording with more room for scenes on both sides of the car. The conventional class is more crowded thus hopping between left and right sides for both angles turns to be restricted.

    • @Speedbird1FLY
      @Speedbird1FLY  6 лет назад

      Hi I am ever so glad you enjoyed this video (especially with the benefit of your own experience of this train line... and the added benefit of enjoying the Flam railway).
      Travelling in October offered superb autumnal colours and I was ever so lucky with the weather.
      I would certainly recommend the Komfort class (I also went to the restaurant/cafeteria carriage to be able to switch the filming from one side to the other more easily).Any other train rides you greatly enjoyed?Thank you for sharing your great comment

    • @HingLaw
      @HingLaw 6 лет назад

      The Komfort class may allow us to round up the Norway train experience. We rode on the sleeper car from Stavanger back to Oslo on a night train departing around 10:30pm. Arrival was 7:30am next morning. Punctuality is amazing!

      Grazie per il vostro sostegno. Ho anche pubblicato un video del mio recente viaggio in treno in Sud Africa ruclips.net/video/dQMvSVxDuqU/видео.html Pensavo potessi essere interessato a questo viaggio scenico
