Last time I did the Schwebebahn I managed to do a round trip and took in the trolleybus system in Solingen as well. They run in hybrid mode from the nearby Vohwinkel mainline station, and the trolley wires start not long after passing underneath the railway bridge. In the centre of Solingen we transferred to the S7 train and went over the Müngstener Brücke and ended up at Oberbarmen! Glad you had a fun time, and thanks for a great video! 👍

Before the tram system was decommissioned in Wuppertal in 1987, my parents took me one a round trip through Wuppertal using all five public transport systems: bus, trolley bus, tram, schwebebahn, and local train. The schwebebahn is quite clearly the coolest of them all.

A few things to mention: The Schwebebahn is uniquely perfect in Wuppertal as Wuppertal is a very long and narrow city due to the hefty mountains on each side of the valley. (That is also why you see a lot of busses, as the hills were too steep for most other modes of transport, so if you want to go up you have to take a bus.) Also, while the Schwebebahn is unique for visitors for people living in Wuppertal it is just a normal mode of transportation, a very fast and smooth one, because the traffic in the narrow valley by car is bad and flying over it you don't have to care about stops, crosses and traffic. So even if you have a car, if you want to get anywhere alongside the Schwebebahn it is usually faster than going by car.

Great video as always and today's Video was fantastic, in my opinion. And indeed they made perfect decision building it above the river not only, there was proper utilization of land but also it looks amazing. And I knew about this transit system for quite a while and that time, I was surprised to see that this magnificent structure was able to survive both the World Wars and aerial bombing too. Moreover, I had watched the video of this suspension train on KZbin I think 6 months ago and it was amazing to watch since it was filmed when they started this new line. And as far as I remember there is one such transit system in Japan too, so you could try that too mate. 😊

Thank you very much for your wonderful experience to show such gorgeous panoramic view of the city of Wuppertal. I've just heard about such kind means of transportation. You have really made a great surprise for me. Studying German at the University I have never been to Germany. Your video is really great and cool. I give a lot of thanks for such kind of possibility you offered me to show with my own eyes what's going around. Germany is a wonderful country. German engineering products are famous around the globe: German engineering companies, transportation systems, their eco-friendly technical solution to solve environment pollution problems - all these deserves best attention. German cars, trains, furniture, housekeeping facilities - everything what makes our life more comfortable, - it's great genius of outstanding German engineers. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn - is a unique ongoing transportation system which gives us wonderful possibility to solve many environmental problems, made architectural design of the city more precious (precise und knapp) due to complicated geological peculiarities of the city and certainly makes life of the citizens more comfortable and convenient. The Schwebebahn in Wuppertal could solve many transportation problems in the megacities, metropolitan areas and suburban regions of the cities in the rush hour during the migration of people from bed to work when many people should stay in cars for a long period of time. Adore this video, adore your titanic work. Great video, good job, nice trains, beautiful city. Give you my big "like". Thank you, bye.

It’s a kind of reminder of what we could have had a very long time ago, in Scotland. There was a demonstration line built above the railway line near Mulgavie on the outskirts of glasgow, called the Bennie Railplane, which was a lozenge shaped propeller driven unit like these trains. It didn’t succeed, as you might well have guessed, but if it hadn’t been designed with dangerous propellers at each end of the vehicles body (open and exposed too anyone standing nearby on the platforms, it might have been an alternative to the trams…

Thanks for sharing this iconic experience from end to end. I hope to do it one day. I believe they used to have a special set of cars that did an afternoon tea run but maybe those days have gone? It reminds me a little of the Shonan monorail in Japan - it is also a supended railway that traverses both urban streets and forested hills.

The Düsseldorf one utilizes a different system though so you can‘t really say it is the same one as the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.

Lucky you being able to ride this train. When two years ago just a few days after me booking a trip and hotel there, there was an accident there, and the entire line was out of order for months on end. So the only thing I could do was walk alongside the suspended railway and look at a few of the train-stations, but no train-ride.

Yep Wuppertal does have a hanged metro system. It isn't very long but rather unique. It does swing a little bit but not enough to discourage the users. You do get a good view looking down though. I used to drive to ski in the Alps from UK and would do 650 mile in the forward journey in one day as the ferry docked Amsterdam early in the morning. For the return journey I had to do it in two days so picking a German city for overnight stay along the River Rhine route close to Holland was a feature of my skiing trips. In one year it was Wuppertal and it was really a pleasant surprise to see this upside down railway in action. I believe China is also offering this arrangement in its metro trains line up. Japan is another country that has it too.

This may have been mentioned already, but Walt and Lillian Disney in a tour of Europe rode the Schwebebahn. It started to give Walt the idea to include it in this yet to be built Disneyland Park. Lillian didn't like the swinging motion of the Schwebebahn, hence its name, which let Walt to investigate further and ultimately contract with Alweg, also a German firm, to build the first monorail operating in the western hemisphere. Note that the Alweg monorail rode on top of the rail instead of hanging underneath it.

I do love the Schwebebahn! We have been twice now. Our second trip was in 2019, shortly after it had reopened following a rather nasty incident where some of the rails fell off, or something - it was closed for nearly a year for reparations. Anyway, by then all the trains looked exactly the same, whereas on our first visit, in May 2018, there were all sorts of different trains on the line, some much older than others.

the newly constructed wheels damaged the track; and some other difficulties happened; it was well developed over the last 120 years. But new generations of engineers thought they knew everything about our Schwebebahn. And the managers who were responsible for wrong decisions are now in other jobs and one of the head management is now a politician...
