I love how you don't even mention China's role in funding and building this project....I guess Europeans and especially British NPCs have to much pride to acknowledge reality! Cheers!

Breathtaking scenery🤩🤩🤩🤩 and a satisfying trip

Easyjet is a little more than half the price, with a faster service. Allegedly, with some careful timing, some really low prices can be found if you fly on a budget airline at night. In those cases, travel from the airport to the nearest city can be more expensive than the flight.

So nice to see how well Serbia is developing, love from China Hong Kong.

SLOWenian long distance train commuting is really bad. You've mentioned few aspects like delays due to train traffic (freight and passanger trains use same tracks), construction of new stations (rebuilding them), which takes years, not a cheaper alternative to a car (especially if there are more passangers abroad), priorities are irrelevant for SŽ such as they buy newer trains and stations, but new tracks to speed up the travelling is something unheard of ... You might have noticed that ICS train was empty. Almost. It is running without profit, because SŽ is in the state ownership. Other trains are mostly empty too, especially from 8 AM until 3 PM and then you could have wild sex on it and nobody would've noticed. Because you'd be alone in the whole carriage. Deutschen Bahn wanted to buy SŽ, but what an uprising that was! That would've brought optimisation, which SŽ was not happy with. So, here we are. In early 2000. Or before that. I think the premiere of ICS was around 1994. It was cool back then, because highways were in development. But now I can get from Maribor to Ljubljana in an hour by car, spending the same amount for fuel.

Bro do visit India after completion of MAHSR.

how do you get on board in a wheel chair?

Normal train in ohio

Thankfull I won’t be going there not sure my wheelchair would cope with the environment! 😂

IMO the Kon station was simply a checkpoint for some freight trains. In my country there's also a station were trains climb a steep gradient up to some altitude and then stepping down again before that station so all the trains regardless the class & numerical order are require mandatory stop to check the train brakes as whole unit not the loco brake only

No.🤝

How hard was it to get into Uzbekistan? I wouldn’t mind going there to see the scenery and film the trains there if I had a camera. I can’t find any videos of railfanning in Uzbekistan and if I could I would want to change that

I'd love to see a video on the Talgo train. Superb video. It's great to see these remote places way off the beaten track. I was surprised on how modern looking the railway infrastructure is.

Great vlog! 🫡 Didn’t Bald & Bankrupt do this trip?? 😎

Both Cyrillic and Latin letters are created on Balkans, later Latin letter was used by other civilizations on the west.

Does anyone know, why is there such huge amount of those tiny japanese-like vans??

Everything costs a limb in Sweden because we have high inflation

Това е част от китайската инициатива Един пояс, един път. Става дума за Паневропейски коридор №10 от Будапеща през Сърбия, Македония, до Солун. Паралелът през Видин не напредва. Сигурно ще стане излишен,защото ще дублира. Герб не посмя да се договори с Китай.

Interestingly It's track gauge is 1067mm

a video on the talgo would be great

Once again: Thank you for a great video! I'm 64, but if I was your age, you'd inspire me to do what you're doing. 🙂 Take care! cheers, Per, Denmark

I like trains, specially sleepers, but I can’t get it in my head why someone will take this train for five times the money compared to a plane….as long as we have this planes

I want a podstakannik.

I loved how the dust flew out of the pillow when you smacked it! I guess the attendant wasn’t cleaning while you waited!

These old Ammendorfer "Liefert" (delivers)!

I am at abou 14 minutes in now and these stations look all incredible. absolutely clean with layouts like in a video game. almost surreal

Is Uzbekistan the country where government employees and students would always be rounded up to go work on the cotton fields? Apparently 'officials' would show up in Govt offices, schools etc. rounding up people to go pick cotton and the local population hated it. I remember it was talked about in one of the diplomatic cables that Wikileaks published.

Looks better then the UK transport system and this is meant to be a third world country !

Hi just found your site great video and what a ridiculous price so cheap compared to here in France ,

Give them to New Zealand!

as far as I remember, immediately after the Fall of the USSR the Fergana Valley was basically a warzone due to an ongoing boarder dispute, with elements of attempted Ethnic cleansing on both sides... (maybe somewhat thanks to the Chinese mediation) this is a much more peaceful place now, but tensions between various local groups do occasionally flare up, requiring a constant "peacekeeping presence" in some parts of the district... of the tunnel mystery, I guess there is a fear of bombs being planted by Tajik insurgents (fighting against control of the territory by Uzbekistan) or by radical Islamist groups... both are realistic threats to contend with. though, some of these measures, it is also possible, are due to dangerous gasses within the tunnel. I know that has been a problem with other tunneling in the area before (my uncle being head of one of the Tunnel-Building administrations for the region during the Soviet period had to regularly deal with balancing that issue and whatever pressure to built they were getting from Moscow, it is possible, that the new administration decided to cut a few corners...) with the blinds being closed to prevent people from seeing any of the cracks and failures they were trying to mend.

btw China built those railways :)

Serbia is chanching... Where is the time that i travelled from Novi Sad to Belgrade with the train... On some places he drived maximum 20 or even less km/h. The train was an second hand German international wagon. Very nice seets for sure.

In 18:59, the high speed train appears on stage. It's a Spanish Talgo (Afrosiyob service), up to 250 km/h.

Afrosiyob 👇

Superalbs, how did you manage the language barrier? Do you speak any Russian?

The English name of the tunnel in question per Wikipedia is Kamchiq Tunnel 1:26 "To the Stationintroduction". LOL, the hell?

The dust coming out of that pillow ...😵‍💫

was surprised to see that the man in front of you at the ticket check was carrying a Hema bag. Hema is a Dutch retail chain.

Just a little bit of correction: Namangan is actually the second largest city in Uzbekistan.

I would rot on that train......

Bro, they probably don't like you booking all the beds in the coupe. 😅 Didin't they ask you for extra money before?

Serbia your lucky because China is giving you genuine friendship but its the opposite for its neighbors in Asia like India, Philippines, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Japan etc. China is encroaching our territory and harassing our people. China is good to you so that they can have a banner of few good samples of their "friendship" but a lot of bad and lies to other countries. Anyways you needed that development and only China can give it. Just accept the generosity

What a great trip and great experience. This trip definitely full of surprises. Can't wait for you to taking Aforsyob Train

le indian railways: *indian railways are not corupt just very late sometimes

Quite impressive. Were the employees friendly or snarly?

Old soviet trains same as ours, except these look mint. The Uzbekistanis love their trains I guess.

I think that you rode the 2019 Luxury Stainless Steel Gen 2, anyways I recommend you to try the 2018 Stainless Steel Eksekutif,2024 Stainless Steel Economy (KA Majapahit and KA Lodaya), 2024 New Gen Eksekutif, and Panoramic.
