It looks so much like a mix of an ICE 3 and TGV duplex. Incredible
Probably the best high speed trains ever built in South Korea. 🤩
10:31 TMST sound 🤤
I absolutely adore South Korean trains
SRT is actually a result of the failed attempts in railway privatisation in Korea. The conservative government back then wanted to import the (horrendously failed) British franchising model, which naturally met with huge resistance. So they came up with SR as a compromise - which is partly owned by private parties while keeping Korail as a majority stakeholder.
They are supposed to "compete" with Korail, despite the fact that they lease most of their trainsets from Korail and the maintenance work is practically dumped onto Korail. They also don't run any local trains, which makes tons of losses for Korail yet vital for many rural communities. Not to mention that they have monopoly over the new high-speed line to Suseo, which serves affluent parts of Seoul where demand for high-speed rail is higher. That makes them 5% cheaper than Korail, and still perform better than Korail financially. Conservative parties seem to cite SR's case as the reason why railway privatisation is beneficial, saying you can get cheaper tickets and better service blah blah, but seems like they always forget to mention any of the context behind it.
Sounds pretty on brand for conservatives here in the U.S
Thank you for enlighten me on this SR Corporation. I had such a hard time to understand the story behind this operator so thank you!
That's interesting. Although I wouldn't replicate the British approach to railways in any part. Even the state owned railway sucked.
And here in Canada.
But isn't it not an example of railway privatization since its a de facto nationalized corporation? Korail now owns more than 50%, so its not the best to call it privatized rail, whether you are for or against privatization.
Nice report. Good speed. Comfy seats.
Thank you Thibault😀💚
Great video as always! Merci!
Great trip. And yes another South Korea train trip report. Based on Wikipedia search: SR Corporation formerly known as Suseo High Speed Rail Corporation, and before official announcement by SR, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport used tentative term for this train service called Suseo High Speed Railway, and yeah SR Corporation HQ located in Suseo. Another fact is the other shareholders of this corporation are Teacher's Pension, Industrial Bank of Korea, and Korea Development Bank.
Very nice Video--esp the clips of the HST's at full speed!
Great video and lucky Koreans to have such a good speed train
Nice video
Great trip report
Excellent 👍👍 video
Great video !!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
I like High Speed Train (Italy, France, Spanish, British, German, Korean and Japanese).
This video is interesting and amazing! 😍👍
Nice video!
Since the SR trainsets are owned by Korail, there was a time when Korail operated them on the Jeolla and Honam routes before turning them over to SR.
I rode on them when going to Suncheon from Yongsan, and it was a unique sight seeing SR liveried trains with KTX Sancheon logos.
10:00 la partie la plus plaisante de la vidéo 😍😁 (enfin le reste était sympa aussi)
Not having dining/cafe cars is common for Asian HSR: you're supposed to bring your own packed/boxed meal or snacks (or eat at one of the station restaurants) before boarding.
Why need cafe train? It is useless on the fast train dude.
Hey SR! I see you are a fellow DJI OM 4 user! Do you have any tips on stopping the gimbal from swinging from side to side repeatedly? I keep having the issue unless I calibrate it, which I often forget to do! Great video on the SRT trains, they look great.
Actually, Both SRT and KTX gives you some free snacks(nuts or something) and free bottle of water if you are a first class traveler. But they don't bring it to your seat. You must go and grab one at the vending machine between Car 3 and Car 4.
In our KTX 1st class trip from Busan to Seoul, there was unlimited supply of bottled water and also biscuits.
Under normal circumstances, SR would have to be absorbed by Korail as soon as possible and at the same time return all the KTX-Sancheon borrowed from them!
종류별로 다 타보시네요! 강릉 여행하실때 KTX EUM 추천드립니다!
Train From Busan: A Sequel.
Bussan to SUSeo 😏😏😏
Thanks for the videos! You are welcome to SEA nation to experience the train services in Malaysia Indonesia Thailand and Singapore! Thanks again!
But it's not a ordinary SRT train,this one was been rent from KTX.The interior colour of SRT is purple.
FR
A part le fait que les sièges tournent sur eux même, le reste on se croirait totalement dans le TGV Français autant le look intérieur qu'extérieur. Même les fenêtres sont similaires. La porte d'entrée des conducteurs dans la motrice, est taillé pareillement que le TGV FR même la petite trappe avant le nez de la loco. Tout est pareil jusqu'au porte automatique qui sépare les zones passager. Tant mieux d'un côté, cela prouve que notre modèle est vraiment bon.
EN
As French person, except from the fact that the seats turn on themselves, the rest looks totally like the French TGV, both the interior and exterior look. Even the windows are similar. The entry door of the drivers in the motor car, is cut similarly to the TGV FR even the small hatch before the nose of the loco. Everything is the same up to the automatic door that separates the passenger areas. So much the better on the one hand, it proves that our model is really good.
You can buy it on the SRT app if you are a foreigner but ONLY with a Korean Bank account, also if you are under 25 and you register on the app you can get Youth discount
It looks like the SRT is meant more for Koreans and foreigners living in Korea, rather than for tourists.
8:30 That can happen often when you are in a tunnel.
Oh my the KTXs have the Eurostar's "womp" sound!
That moment when you hear Busan and it reminds of one of the best zombie movie
I'm curious, and didn't see the question asked - you say to book well in advance due to the train's popularity, but that you can't book online if you aren't Korean. 🤔 Does this mean making a special trip to the station hours or days ahead to purchase one's ticket?
Love the channel - ty for another fun & informative trip. ✌️😊
Try Mugunghwa and Saemaeul
Interesting video once again!
But i have a question ⁉️
You said you didn't book window seat this time but the window seat seemed empty the whole journey...
Why didn't you just switch seats and sit on the window?
Somebody was seated next to me :)
Great reporting. I'm sorry to say as someone who uses Finnish trains almost daily, this looks busted. Finnish 2 floor Intercity trains only travel at 220km/h (140mph) but the cheep ticket prices include fast internet, meals, all sockets, quiet areas for work, quiet singular seats, toilets for the handicapped, showers etc.
"only 220kph" *cries in North American*
We do have internet and accessible toilets on the trains, and first class seats come in both double and single.
Meanwhile, the other amenities like meals and showers are frankly not needed.
The country is small enough that even the slowest and longest trips never take over 6 hours, and those tend to be cheaper services where it would be quite irrational to expect such services.
Most intercity trains simply don’t take long enough to justify such amenities.
@nicknkkkkd We have both. Oh - and we are going to increase the existing network to 350kpm (220mph) with existing service AND lower prices. It will cost around €20-€50 in the whole of Finland - which is around 1.5 bigger than Great Britain.
@@toms5996 In Korea, you only need to move about 350 km, even if it is far away. You don't need that kind of convenience because you just need to be able to move quickly.
@@toms5996you're missing the fact that finlands rail network is half the size, and while the UK has 18,000 daily passenger trains, finland only has 300
Lindo trem da Coreia gostei lindo trem
2:04 As a South Korean, I never knew it. Pretty unfortunate.
Can you come back with another Amtrak video
It actually looks more like velaro
Requesting you to try Indian trains .
A plethora of trains to choose from and altogether It will show a completely different side of Railway history.
I saw that Korean rail operators use the French _TGV_ scheme and that's why I wonder if Korean manufacturers don't create a own model like Japanese _Kawasaki_ or _Hitachi_ which are used even in Italy or Spain...
Heard Hyundai Rotem did launch an indigenous HSR train model recently? Its quite a big endeavour though so I expect it might've taken a while for S Korea to be able to do that. Like in Japan, different cars in each HSR trainset typically have their manufacturing divided among multiple companies (& they also do a D-check on them every few years, so it suggests that the tech involved in them can be quite intensive)
It's a tried and true concept, they're probably gonna go the ICE/Siemens Velaro route soon enough.
They started using a model called KTX-Eum in 2019. It's a 6-car EMU rated for 260km/h, currently serving on several secondary high-speed services (though in Korea they call 260km/h "higher" speed service). There will be an 8-car version of the same EMU to gradually replace the KTX-I over the next several years, currently called the EMU-320, rated for 320km/h service, with some also anticipating consist rated for 370km/h (perhaps a 10-car version) at some point in the future.
Do KTX-eum !
I'm about to watch this - but I see the map at the beginning. I used to take the traditional (mugunwha it think its called) train from Hayang (North part of Gyeongsan, an eastern suburb of Daegu) to Busan (2013-2016) (by the way, I now live near you in Overland Park) and could clearly see the construction of the line once past GyeongJu, and often wondered about that, why they were building it? (Korean infrastructure is dominated by the Seoul-Daejeon-Daegu-Busan axis). But I can see by this video that they have finally put it to use so am looking forward to watching this video.
It appears to me that they will probably extend that first north-south leg to Pohang which is an economically speaking, very important city as it contains a giant steel works that was the foundation for all of Korea's industrialization. (There is also a need for rapid connection from Pohang to Daegu).
Btw, Busan is the best city in South Korea. It's basically the least formal, most casual and most international city in Korea (I guess because of the port). It also has Korea's only beach and beach like town behind it. This is why I used to take the train from Hayang to Busan: a nice relaxing casual gettaway and see the ocean and not feel so outsiderish as a foreigner. Thanks for the video.
How strange that you can book a ticket on line unless your Korean, I booked a ticket from Hong Kong to Foshan China on line, they took my money with no problem, I picked the ticket up at the station in Hong Kong the day before my journey.I’m from the UK
와우 지난번에 KTX 영상을 올려다가 SRT 영상도 올렸줬군요
Don you think you could purchase the ticket online with a vpn ? Or you have to demonstrate you’re Korean with something like a social security number, an id number or something similar ?
Probably have to have a debit/credit card with a Korean address.
front forward seat ftw!
Well....2:29 h for only 316 km isn't the best time for high-speed service :D
I notice the catenary design is very similar to the one France uses for its TGV as well. Interesting!
It is a TGV
France sold the HST technology. Check out my video on the KTX to know more about it :)
Cost of 1 adult train ticket seoul to busan
316/2,5 = 126,4 km/jam
Meh some mountains 😅😅😅
What an amazing service! I am wondering if you are being paid to travel internationally by Alstom to sell their products? I am happy if you are because Mother Earth needs more trains.
Was the trip as exciting as "Train to Busan" movie?
Must be nice to just using existing technology rather than developing/testing/experimenting/building from the ground up (and having existing "childhood" technology to deal with) by building a first time modern railroad and looking like someone who fell into a barrel of xxxx and coming out smelling like a rose.
Don’t know if you use Google Translate but a number of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors which are typical. Great video.
He's french I think.
Any BTS armys?💜
I wonder if you'd accept my services to edit your subtitles. They could really benefit from the work of a professional editor (it shows that you just translate literally from French) :/
The translations are not perfect . Not horribly translated as the meaning is always clear .
SRT = Low-cost KTX services.
2.5 hrs for 196 miles. Average speed doesnt seem that high.
Speed is fast, but there are too many stations
It's good for many people
I think there are 10 stations, probably
Oddly rundown and slightly dirty for a premier service, even though it is fast. Id take the current Acela Expressz, and certainly the upcoming Acelea Liberty for their better amenities
probably a tgv rip off
Uh no it's not a rip off
Not ripoff... It is "A" TGV...
It's not a ripoff: Alstom licensed thier technology to Hyundai Rotem for SK's HSR.
SR = Simply Railway
