NEW VIDEO! Trying Northern Europe's FASTEST commuter train, Sweden's 200km/h X80 made in China! Join me on Västtrafik for a fast trip out of Gothenburg to see if this controversial new fleet deserves the hype! WATCH: youtu.be/-yLdRZP1vXc

Another one of these horrible Hitachi units for me, this time over to Udine, on a Trenitalia 6 car variant. Sadly it has a similar poorly thought out interior! 😭

0150

After enduring a horrible regional train yesterday, today I decided to take the EuroCity Pendolino to Venice. No problems with sloppy design or window views here! 😁🇮🇹

0250

Real clever to make the train look so sad.

010

It's what's on the inside that counts, and the inside is awful. ❤️🙏

110

A train for people who hate to look outside! 👀 Almost every bay is misaligned with the windows, and even some of the seats that DO feature a window will have you staring at a divider..

1282

One of the ugliest trains in the world? This afternoon, I'm catching a Trenord ETR.421 unit out of Milan - with a garish colour scheme and a bizarre shape! What were they thinking? 😂

6231

With one loco taken off at the border and two more added, we're running through to Milan, pulled by these Arenaways locomotives. Final arrival is 68 minutes late. Not as bad as I was expecting!

0190

One of the classic seated carriages on the European Sleeper to Milan. This is an old German InterRegio carriage, with what looks like its original interior, and NS signage! 👀

1241

This one was departing late because it arrived late the day before. This seems to be a recurring thing. Not sure what happened to the Prague train, which was 5hr late.

140

And good morning from Switzerland on the European Sleeper. We're now running "only" around 1 hour late, and there's an incredible sunrise over the Alps to enjoy from my opening windows.... 😍

2454

Heading through Liege and Köln before heading south on this severely delayed train... And another problem, my compartment doesn't have a working lock. So much for on-board safety! 🙄

0141

At last, the European Sleeper arrives from the sidings, some two hours after it should have departed. It's a Comfort Standard room for me tonight, a Couchette room with an added thick mattress. But we're not going to be leaving yet, as there are MORE delays ahead... 😭

1140

Standing in Brussels-South, awaiting the exciting EuropeanSleeper service to Milan! However, as is very often the case, both of their departures from here are severely delayed this evening... 🙄

0190

Antwerpen-Centraal has platforms on three different levels, the upper and middle being terminus platforms, while high-speed trains run through the lower level. 🇧🇪

1191

Finally got to visit the famous Antwerpen-Centraal, one of the most beautiful train stations anywhere in the world - just look at this beauty! 😍

1250

Today's task involved riding a bunch of locomotives around Belgium. Never really spent much time here before, so it's nice to have a proper explore! 😁

0120

Decided to pay a visit to Brussels-Chapel station today, that, despite its location right in the centre of the city, is only served by one train per hour! 👀 🇧🇪

0120

And the train was the wrong way around, and we both departed and arrived late on this slow journey too. 🙄

070

The state of the @Eurostar (Thalys) trains these days, with leaky, falling-apart toilets, overflowing bins, and just general filth - this is a lousy excuse for a premium train. 🤮 Hopefully, I won't travel with Thalys trains again for many more years...

2170

Looks like the rebrand of Thalys is going well, with loads of old logos around the carriage, even 3 years on! 😂

1130

Now to ride Thalys (sometimes referred to as Eurostar) down to Brussels. If you've been following me for a while, you'll know I've had a lot of bad experiences with Thalys, let's see what happens! 👀

1210

First thing I see in Amsterdam Centraal is this unusual charter train with some striking German retro liveries. Anyone know where it's going? 🤔

3232

Welcome to Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, home to the Train Lodge Hostel, with rooms in these 1960s sleeper cars! Has anyone ever stayed here? 👀

3212

Ever completely forgotten a train even existed? That's me with the NS SLT, which I went on today for the first time in years! 😅 They're pretty nice, and definitely better than the newer Sprinter units from CAF.

0171

Back before they were constantly arguing with each other. 😃

010

The problem is it's just absolutely filthy.

000

I guess there are no PR opportunities to be had down there! 🤣

110

Heading over to Amsterdam with @KLM, my first flight on the impressive Embraer E2 jet, and a perfect morning to go with it! 🇳🇱😍

Not even pop culture would make me want to take a bus!

#ad A huge thanks to the devs behind Transport Fever 3! I've been spending the last couple of weeks planning out my own transport empire, with trains, trucks, buses and more - but mostly trains, of course. 😉 Get your copy here: store.steampowered.com/app/3493540/...

NEW VIDEO! Taking a behind the scenes look at the new @noxmobility.bsky.social night train interiors, featuring the lie-flat Nox Suite, and checking out the future of the Nox Rooms. Now this is a night train project to be excited about! 👀 WATCH: youtu.be/gQ9lCTP4iVE

0241

My seat for the 7hr ride from Berlin is a modern torture device. The seat base slopes downwards, resulting in strain as you perch to support yourself. With loose fixtures, as well as broken and/or missing recline - it's the worst carriage I could have hoped for on this trip! 😭

2211

Time to head from Berlin to Kraków on the PKP Intercity EC train, a nice 7 hour trip through the country. Honestly after these intense two weeks, I think I will take a few days away from trains! 😂

0201

What better way to celebrate a great few days at Innotrans than riding a few locomotives around in the tunnels of Berlin Hbf? 😁
