For a 7 hour train trip, the food service should be a bit more evolved than just snacks that you'd expect for Paris-Lyons in 2 hours. But then again, their goal is to pack as many people as they can in a train so food service car reduces how many passengers you can carry.

You are right about the TGV food. I almost always buy something from the Paul outlet before boarding (Le Savoureux is my favourite) and stick to coffee from the bar. Exception is leaving St Jean de Luz Ciboure on the 07:20 to Paris (no Paul and nothing else open!) so I get a Formule Petit Dej between Dax and Bordeaux (allongée, jus d'orange, yaourt, madeleine; 9-50€ last year)

My view of eating on a train is that if there's no decent cooked to order table service with menus and waiters, you're usually better off buying food and beverages before boarding, from a local market or bakery and have an on-train "picnic". You get a much broader choice of better food at lower prices, and it's just more fun. Train "cafe" food is usually mediocre. The only thing really worth buying is coffee or tea as it's fresh and hot.

What the EU lacks is HS international connections as good as the internal ones. This goes for Italy too: I had to take a flight from Northern Italy to Budapest and our plane got delayed because it was still on the other side of the continent. Had we had a HSL from Milan to Budapest running through Venice and Ljubljana we could have gone to Budapest and back. I get it's all difficult politically (and also practically, due to the terrain and whatnot), but jesus it would have been so comfortable. And to think that Budapest is as far away from Northern Italy as Apulia or Calabria...

@@Hastdupech8509 It's not so much the EU that is dragging its feet, but the national operators. Obviously, the national operators are largely controlled by their national governments, who make up the EU, so it's all a little complicated. But what has happened over the years is that the national monopolies have slowly been eroded by the EU. This was almost unthinkable 35 years ago, but nowadays you see different operators within one country. Some countries are more progressive than others - especially Germany and the Netherlands are dragging their feet - but bit by bit, it's becoming more and more of a reality. It's just happening _very_ slowly, though.

Took this journey last October, as part of a longer journey going Munich -> Paris -> Barcelona in one day (both in TGV Euroduplex). I enjoyed it, the views on the slow sections are really amazing. Water on boths sides, docks, historic towns, fortress, also the cathedral you can see from the bridge in Beziers. But it also feels somehow bizarre compared to the high speed part. Going at speeds around just 30 km/h through Salses definitely added to this feeling (probably some line issues at that time). Such a shame that the LGV Montpellier-Perpignan will not be finished until maybe around 2044. Why are French so slow? I wonder if the Paris - Madrid route through Bordeaux ends up built faster than this. This really should be a critical infrastructure funded by EU at a very high priority...

If someone is thinking of going from London to Barcelona, and they look up the train options and realise it’s basically 12 hours by train they’re not even going to consider it (and that’s ignoring the price - unless you book way in advance). The idea that it’s going to take until 2034 to finish the final sections of LGV and cut the journey time is madness and frankly proof that neither the French government nor the EU are serious about tackling climate change.

Living in spain i am very grateful for your video and opinion. If I want to go to Holland, I am Dutch, from Valencia I will try to connect the three trains I need in order to complete the journey. If this ticket is 79 euro, the train from Valencia to Sants 50 and the Paris Amsterdam 75 it means a single will cost around 200 euros. In addition I need to take a metro from Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord. It would be quite a trip and taking me around 18 to 20 hours. The direct bus is half price and with free luggage. Guess why they need to improve the train services to Spain? Cause of the politics between Renfe and SNCF, a shame these hot heads have too little commercial interest. And more taxes for flying will also help. But thats not in my lifetime probably with the far right parties on the rise everywhere, cheap flights is what people want most. Lets see what the European elections will bring us, probably bad news for trains and our climate....

@@cpadrosolanet Yo no impongo nada, solo digo que debes respetar las 2 lenguas y no lo que estáis haciendo, pero ya vemos que la educación, el respeto faltan bastante. Seguro que cuando sales de tu condado y vas a Londres, Roma o Berlín hablas también en catalán para que todo el mundo te comprenda no ? En fin lo dejo ahí, porque ya se te ve la patita bastante. Seguid así y pronto las pocas empresas que no se han ido ya, levantarán el vuelo. Deu paleto

@@carlospanizo4646 a quien se le ha visto la patita desde un principio ha sido a ti… cuando he viajado en a Londres, he hablado en inglés, a Italia en italiano y a otros países de los que no se hablar su lengua me he hecho entender en inglés o por señas… lo que si he evitado es que piensen que soy un español… deuuuu..

The only thing you do in Barcelona is to take the next train to Madrid? Sacrilege! 🙂 Joking aside, because I know it's essentially your job, or at least a source of income, to make these videos. But Barcelona is such a wonderful city. We went there at the end of March, and it was one of the best holidays we ever had as a couple.

7 hours for 1000km doesn’t sound like a high speed train
@DIASDEMUSICA6 ай бұрын
there are a lot of stops and a lot of sections (as explained in the video!) that are not allowed for more than 200 km/h :P

The difference between the Bandung Jakarta high-speed train and the Tokyo Nagoya Shinkansen and the Paris Barcelona TGV is indeed different.
@Sayitlikitiz1016 ай бұрын
You do realize that Paris-Barcelona is 6X the distance between Jakarta and Bandung and 3X that between Tokyo and Nagoya? Travel between them cannot be compared.

Seven hours by train from Paris to Barcelona? No thanks, I'll take a plane.

It is a pity that Spain does not really care about international trains.
