You do a terrific videos Mr. Anderson! The footage is intimate and your narration is informative and very easy to enjoy.

This is a great video. The longer journey the better for me. I did 6 days on the Trans Siberian in 1986 from Moscow to Khabarovsk. That was in the days when it was the Soviet Union. Loved every minute of it.

I would rather spend 13 hours on a train then on a bus.

@johannessamuelsson6578 10 ай бұрын

True. I wouldn't even ride a bus for four hours really.

The best thing about this train is that it takes you from dry Caspian climate all the way to Siberia. Semey is a city heavily populated by Russians and they call it Semipalatinsk. It's in actual forest-ish Siberia, and you can take a night train from here to Novosibirsk which actually will bring you there in like 12 hours.

Странно это слышать, я думала на севере их много, а не в Семее.По крайней мере Семей у меня ассоциируется, как целом Восточный Казахстан нашими казахскими писателями(хоть есть и в другой части Казахстана писатели), и моими предками.

A lot of these carriages remind me of the Chinese Long Distance sleeper trains, very similar in bedding configuration between classes. I really enjoyed this, and all your other videos as well, taking train rides off the beaten mainstream European lines, nicely done! 😁

@Simon-Andersen 10 ай бұрын

Yeah it's a similar setup to a lot of the classic Chinese trains

Very interesting. I did not even know there were such trains in Kazakstan. I am going to do that one day. Thanks a lot.

I have ridden the Indian Pacific in both directions. 68 hours each way, but the long servicing stops were broken up with off-train excursions at reasonable prices.

@drdewott9154 10 ай бұрын

It looks neat but for a train trip that long you'd probably need more stuff onboard the train itself. Of course at least one dining car, maybe even multiple if for nothing else some variation and better capacity. Of course working internet access, and maybe some cars with other less conventional ammenities like an arcade or a small gym or just some commonspace. Amtrak kinda manages to make something of a commonspace with the lounge cars on their long distance services with a small cafe downstairs for light snacks.

@notactuallymyrealname 10 ай бұрын

I loved this video, and at the same time I'm very sure I am not built for such a long train journey. 😂 I'd be curious to see how much of a difference a dining car would make, though. Thanks for taking us along on a beautiful trip!

@Simon-Andersen 10 ай бұрын

I think the dining car would definitely help break up the journey! Might have to do a really long trip again to test out that theory

Useful one. I am Planning to travel in May from Astana to Aktau. Not much info about this route and trains. Thanks again for sharing. In India we used to travel in such long distance trains. It will be fun to travel in 3rd class and we can interact with local people ..

@Simon-Andersen 7 ай бұрын

Have a great trip, it was a lot of fun even in second class we had plenty of interactions with the people in our neighbour cabins!

@johannessamuelsson6578 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, through-running a sleeper train over more than two days doesn't make much sense, that's why Amtrak break up many trans-continental services in Chicago. Kazhak Railways could probably do a similar thing with a hub in Astana. ÖBB could theoretically run a through train from Hamburg to Rome, but it makes more sense for them to run two separate routes out of Vienna.

That looks like a lovely, long journey. If you wish to experience the longest of them all in top-line comfort I invite you to travel on an SV car on the Trans-Siberian railroad all the way from Moscow to Vladivostok. Would be a journey of a lifetime for sure!

13:44 Degelen is the station serving the city of Kurchatov, the centre of Semipalatinsk Polygon, the place where Soviet nuclear bombs were developed and tested. I took this train one year ago in the opposite direction from Degelen to Sputnik. Great time.

I need to explore more of the Belgian rail scene, its an intresting mix between really old stuff and very new stuff. If you haven't notcied already you can see train compositions on the SNCB app now, so that makes it easier to avoid the trains you dislike and catch the ones you like :D - Thanks for watching im glad you like the videos
