De know this!😉😉😉

Hi from a nativ Berlin, I loved Themse old trains ( as a child). Would love to see them again actually, but we’ll many not in north korea

Waterloo and City line with 2 stations

I feel like if you *really* pushed the engine on perfect track conditions, you could probably get 200 MPH with the right design. Something like the Pennsylvania Railroad S1 probably could've gotten close under optimal conditions

U1 vibes

My one experience of Hamburg Hbf was waiting for my connection and finding out the train had been rerouted through Altona about 10 minutes before departure. As a result of which in the end I had to wait 2 hours in Fredericia, Denmark in the middle of the night. Fun experience!

Before you guys talk about mallard, remember it was going downhill when the record was broken.

If you want to explore more high quality service for the rural mantle of a larger city, I can recommend checking out the public transit of Chemnitz. Its Chemnitzer Modell is roughly based on the Karlsruher Modell, however very well integrated if you ask me. The standard gauge tram tracks of Chemnitz are almost always separated from the normal street traffic, resulting in a reliable service. The change between Tram and Train Operation for the Tram-Trains is seamless, switching between Tram Electricity and Diesel at the edge points. There'll be Dual Electro Mode Models next year operating on Tram and Main Railway Power, as many of the lines currently non electrified are scheduled to be electrified within the next decade. The Schedule Density is very high for the surrounding suburban areas and smaller towns/villages connected to Chemnitz. Mittweida, Burgstädt, Thalheim and Stollberg and most villages in between get a 30min schedule, rest is 1h minimum. And we are talking 30min service for towns that are 15k inhabitants max. The villages and small towns in between also getting this service density are sometimes barely scratching 1000 inhabitants. The 30min service of the Tram-Trains is maintained thoroughout starting between 4 and 5AM and goes til 12PM and 0:30 AM bidirectionally, only being reduced to once every hour after 6PM or 8PM, depending on the line. It's very well accepted and more integration and higher density is planned for the next years, including an entire new Tram Line for Chemnitz connecting a nearby city disconnected from rail since decades. Also, the landscape towards the Ore Mountains is beautiful! The model will hopefully show it's reliability to the expected visitors due to being European Cultural capital of 2025. Greetings from Chemnitz!

The LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard is the world's fastest steam locomotive, reaching a top speed of 126 miles per hour (203 kilometers per hour) on July 3, 1938. This record still stands today.

Not me living in Harsefeld and being pissed of that a town of roughly 20000 people doesn’t have a connection to Hamburg

can you please make a video abt the trams Braunschweig? it would be cool because Braunschweig trams are operating since 1879. Its just a big town same sized as hannover

Im from the Stade District/Landkreis Stade

Nice to see my hometown in this kind of videos. A little fun fact: The tram was originally powered by a hydro electric dam which also powered the town lights at night.

Is a "bus schedule improvement" in Stade is the one you posted not long ago with a single departure at the most inconvenient time there is? 0<1 you know...

Bäääää! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Lots of cities want to build a subway tunnel, but can't because of the cost. Having an existing subway tunnel is one of the biggest waste a city can do.

I translate "Bahn" to "way" as in "freeway" or "railway".

Technically not a metro but a subway, the Newark City subway Broad St branch is a mile long, with 4/5 stations

The ICE doesn't go thru Soltau ^^ Soltau is not electrified :) it either goes via Uelzen and Celle or Bremen :) Also if you ever wanted to be in a DDR Reichsbahn Wagon without having to ride a heritage train the S6 in Hanover is currently run by WFL using old DDR Rolling Stock. Also you can use the Deutschlandticket to get to Tondern in Denmark or Hengelo in the Netherlands Or Swinemünde in Polish Pommerania

A4 Pacific 126 mph

Also, Bahn can be short for Fahrbahn = lane (+in Scandinavian languages, bane/a=line, circuit, trajectory, path, court...)

I live in Linz! I love it when people compliment our nice trams that are filled with nazis and talahons

I love the ÖPNV /public transportation/ themes getting so much more popular! Queer ÖPNV-Lovers Unite - ig

Great trains! Took one from Erfurt to Coburg via the high speed line. And given that the cheapest return ticket for that is €35, the Deutschlandticket pays for itself very quickly! And don't worry about the pronunciation - practise makes perfect :D

Both are run by communists^^

Waterloo and city line

Regarding Elend: There is also a town in the Harz mountains called "Wida" (which reads like "wieder", "again"), and seemingly every road out of it ends up looping back.

Hi, I'm from Nordhausen 👋 😊

I mean, Waterloo and City is the shortest i can think of off the top of my head that I've ridden, but I always like to mention the Toronto Transit Commision's Line 4 Sheppard with 5,5 km and 5 stations

Fantastic video about trams and trains more generally in smaller cities. You got a new subscriber!

Also in "smaller cities", depending on the urban shape, you could operate minibus services to nearby villages

No city is too small for trams. Edmonton used to have 46,000 people and 92 km of track served by a fleet of 70 streetcars. Now it's a city of 1,100,000 with 40 km of track with about 90 cars... And no the density didn't switch just our use of trains when GM and Goodyear hoodwinked the world into replacing their electric train networks with diesel buses...

Norderstedt mentioned!!!🎉

YES! BASED! VERY SIGMA OF DB 🤫🧏‍♂️🗿🚄

Truckers: “train can’t pull up to the grocery store” Germany: “Bet”

Shortest metro I know is Istanbul's M6 metro line with 4 stations only. The line is a total of 3,3km long and it only takes 5min from the first station to the last station.

My city has about 800k (Wider Region is 2.5 Mill), we don't have even a tram lol. Third time trying to get them back, although they'll be used more as regional service than local. UK sucks at getting its mode right. Should be a automated light metro imo, and our mainlines electrified with higher frequencies. Even my village on the edge should have trains, but since it used by the express trains my station won't be happening till HS2 gets fully built, if I'm lucky.

Fun Fact in relation to your Fun Fact: The same HSB line that runs to Elend (EN: Misery) also runs to Sorge (EN: Worries)

Looking at you London Ontario, Oshawa, Halifax, and Victoria

In the US and Canada they claim that cities with 250k are too small for a tram.. despite having them 100 years ago, when they were WAY smaller laughable

Used to live in a town of a 1000 people with only a horrible hourly "bus" service to two larger towns nearby. My commute to high school was an hour in a bus that looked like a modified delivery van... Now I live right above a metro station and commute similar distance to uni in 15 minutes 🫢

Love the Omsk "metro" in the back
