  • The Connecting Europe Express was a special train which travelled 20,000 km across 26 countries promoting rail's potential in the EU Year of Rail, 2021. I joined the train between Frankfurt, Leipzig & Berlin. The train is composed of a sleeping-car from ÖBB, a panorama car from SBB, restaurant car from Trenitalia, conference car from SNCF, Intercity seats car from DB and baggage van from MAV.

    I never imagined this composition for a train before; that is really wholesome! I don't care if it can't be sustained for a regular service

    Whoa, loved seeing the TEE at the very end! Very exciting to see this unique train and what it stands for.
    Btw, that wasn't Bald and Bankrupt seated at 2:38, was it? It couldn't be but sure looked like him.

      Yeah, it's nice that the VT 11.5 has been visually restored, however, without working powerunit. It has to be towed by another locomotive.
      Currently, it can be visited with tours of the interior at the Deutsches Technik Museum Berlin on October 24, 27 and 31.

    What was wrong with the first car? If it was how loud it was, the 2nd car was just as loud. So it cant be that.
    2nd car has better seats and view? The 2nd car does look really nice.

    I do wish that more rail videos could have audio commentary. If you can't do it live, it should be dubbed in later. I watch RUclips videos while I am working, and need audio commentary as I can't have my eyes on the video the whole time.

    • @seat61
      @seat61  2 года назад +3

      I usually watch RUclips with the sound off - it annoys others in the room or on the train. So captions more important than someone waffling about what you can see for yourself anyway.

      @@seat61 Interesting - I watch a wide variety of non-fiction videos. Railway ones are the only ones that are noticeably commentary free, with the exception of a very few railway channels.

    Why call it the Connecting Europe Express,when PKP of Poland,SJ of Sweden,NMBS of Belgium,NS of the Netherlands,CFR of Luxembourg,Renfe of Spain,CD of Czechia and many more were not included.

    • @seat61
      @seat61  2 года назад +8

      They were all included! The train covered 26 countries, hauled by various operators including SJ, SNCB, NS, CD, Renfe and PKP. Renfe provided the Iberian gauge train. NS provided their class 1700 locomotives in NL for example.

      I also don’t get why you bring politics into a video that is about trains, there’s no need.

    "Connecting Europe EXPRESS" mais il met 10h de Francfort jusqu'à Berlin?! Ce n'est pas ce qu'on appelle un express... On abuse vraiment de ce terme.
