Its insane how good these trains are. UK intercity pale in comparsion.
Great Video mate!
Well even our own intercity pales in comparison 😅
In terms of rail England is just an overpriced and backward shade of what we have in Europe.
@@gigi-bz6ef the UK is for corporate profits, so it doesn't give much to its citizens. If you go to a train station they don't even provide you with a seat
Termini is a disaster
@@axwleurope9519 too bad it's the best set & organized big station in Europe...
I’ve never clicked a Midland London video so fast!
Nice video, Roma Termini has 32 platforms, not 29
Very good! 👍
There were always meant to be more of these but SNCF kept good maintenance on their TGV fleet and followed the Duplex design for higher capacity.
My last and only journey on Italian High Speed was on the FS ETR500 then branded Eurostar Italia on the same Roma Termini to Milano Centrale route although partially on High Speed Line and on Classic tracks.
Pretty sad that despite the EU countries investing heavily in High Speed and functioning city rail and regional connections that the UK is largely stuck with a heavily Diesel based network and some piss poor designed trains (being stuck in Kernow on IET's train travel is no fun anymore)
Italy's state airline Alitalia was basically bankrupted by a combination of passenger shift to rail and COVID-19 refinanced as ITA Airways in 2020 with a much reduced network.
Alitalia was toast before covid.
great train video bro

Hi, I noticed quite a bit of grain in your videos. Maybe it's your camera's low light performance or your editing software's compression settings. Consider getting it checked out. Cheers!
Unfortunately there's no standard European plug, on trains we normally have the combined German Shuko + the Italian 3 inline 10A plug.
9:45 that's not even a shuko, that's only a combined italian plug. Although the holes have been clearly forced by passengers to fit a shuko.
one thing every youtuber forgets to mention: the founder of the train company is the former CEO of Ferrari. Also one more (non) honourable mentions: Milano Centrale station was built during fascism
Progetto del re Vittorio Emanuele 1911no fascista
Quindi secondo la sua mente malata la stazione è fascista?
Fascism ruled in Italy for more than 20 years so many infrastrutture projects where built under the regime. This doesn't imply anything though !
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground stations.
Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers.
A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train?
The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden.
oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily.
Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford could they extend the DLR?
All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.
Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique minor no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
What is an open access rail operator?
I hate vending machines especially when they take your money and don't deliver. I want a high speed train with a cafe or bistro car that serves real live food with tables and chairs so I can socialize with other passengers over a glass of wine. Cheers!😃🥂
Nice train, wonderful journey, interesting video.
BUT the "competition delivers good fares for the customer" (20:30) line needs discussion. If that was true, Britain would be a great place to travel by train. It isn't. These private operators popping up everywhere in continental Europe these days are just benefiting from public investment on rail infrastructure, sure they can offer competitive prices.... for now. But experience shows they are also piss poor at investing on the future, for the common good and at some point the whole service deteriorates ... until the taxpayer is called to the rescue, again.
All this needs discussion.
Where do you see competition in Britain? Rail companies are privatised monopolies, not facing any form of competition. If you want to travel between the two largest cities of the British Empire there's 0 competition. You have Trenitalia's and First Group's joint venture Avanti and that's it. The only competitor up north is Lumo with 5 trains a day, which isn't many.
I disagree. For one there is no competition on UK rails, yes there are different train operators but each one focuses on just one line/area. If I want to get from London to Bristol I must take GWR there isn't an alternative. Private operators do not benefit from any public investment as it defeats the purpose of being private and they actually pose a threat to the state owned operators. Private operators are popping up in Europe recently simply because the EU forced every country to open their lines to everyone.
are railway lines owned by private companies too in the UK? Or only the train-sets?
