- In this video we will be taking a trip on the Riga suburban railway on the Tukmus line as far as Lielupe station close to the beaches at Jurmala. Come along as i explore these classic RVR Rigas Vagonbuves Repnica ER2 electric units on a suburban train bound for Sloka station on a early april morning. The train is operated by Pasažieru vilciens which is the passenger train operator on the latvian railway network.

Vilcienu apkalpo Pasažieru vilciens, kas ir pasažieru vilcienu operators Latvijas dzelzceļa tīklā.
I take them to commute to my home in Olaine. They might be old but Riga is so lucky to have 4 lines of electrified commuter trains. They are very fast and comfortable. You can reach centre of the city from places 30 km ways in 30 min. It’s far superior than any other form of public transport.
I love our trains
We took this train a couple of years ago on a short break in Riga. It’s a nice trip and the beach is one of the best in the Baltic. Thanks for the video, brings back some sweet summer memories.
Waiting for the Rail Baltic! :)
Its gonna be great when its finally complete
Having ridden these trains for 40+ years it is nice to see a level headed outsider perspective. Hope to see you back in the Baltics again!
Thanks :-). I will definitely back at some point, some intresting rail projetcs going on there
In 2023 32 brand new EMUs Škoda (there are videos form 2022 in Riga) are to be delivered to Riga and they will replace all the old electric ERs, I believe about 10 new Škoda EMUs delivered so far. But no to get upset :) old diesel trains (just modernised) will be in service until 2030 and usually go to far cities.
Those trains must look and ride good! If only they had phone/computer charging ports. Then it would be perfect.
there's a comfort class apparently, but I haven't seen a single ticket that includes it
@@GATESBYthe suburban trains do not have comfort class. it's present only on specific trains that go across the entire country
nice
Thanks :-)
The ER2 was built since (1978-1988) only the ER2m was built since (1962-1970s) it was not built in 1962
I live in Riga I can speak Latvia
7:59 "Depo" stop.
It is a very interesting stop as it is limited service and sees only about half of the Tukums II line trains, It is interesting why the station gets so few trains, and If anyone could could tell me why, I'd be very grateful.
My best bet is the stop the trains there when the shifts start and end at the depot 😊
You forgot one major feature. Heating that sometimes work, sometimes don't. 😄 Actually, I know how to turn it on regardless.
These commuter trains 🚆 are not air conditioned for the summer.
Can you do the Valga - Riga train?
Maybe next time in back in the baltics 👌
these trains are designed 80 years ago, and are built 50 years ago. What can be interesting in such old trash?
Its nice to go travel on something more obscure from time to time
They work. Brit ones dont
@@grahamhorne6956 but they don't allow to go forward. Each generation give new opportunities but here people try to stay in deep past. Why you don't use horses instead of bullet trains?
@@eduards5702 wha?
@@eduards5702 Have you heard of "If it works, don't touch it" concept?
