🇦🇹🇩🇪Riding the Europe's Newest First Class Sleeper Train | Nightjet (Vienna→Hamburg)

[@johnlang4198]

That wasn't bad. Delayed up to 2 hours en route, yet arrived less than 20 minutes late. Good effort.

[@juuuwi]

Ein tolles Video, ich finde es gut mal die Bahnen von Mitteleuropa von einem Japaner zu testen. Ich denke, da haben Sie einiges zu berichten. Unterschiede gibt es sicherlich genug , wünsche Ihnen ein erholsames Wochenende .

[@watchhans]

Kuga-san, thank you for this review! My wife and I live in Hannover, Germany, and very often spend our vacation in Austria. The Nightjet is a good option, but it is still very expensive compared to daytime-fast trains. Ideal for business-people who are afraid of flying, and who do not have to care too much about the cost of travelling. Concerning punctuallity of train travel in Germany, that's another story 😂 A delay on most long distance trains is normal. At least, if your train is delayed by at least one hour you are eligible for a refund of 25 %, and from two hours on, you will get a refund of 50 %. If your ticket was issued by the Deutsche Bahn in Germany. Even if a part of your journey includes neighbor countries. But your journey has to start and end in Germany.

[@rsybing]

One of the few Japan travel KZbinrs who ventures outside of Japan!

[@Daneelro]

Funny to see locations I visited several times each year from you! The 30-minute early departure: you probably bought your ticket over a month in advance, because Austrian Railways was forced to introduce a special schedule during trackworks on its mainline to Linz after lots of delays. But you were lucky, because in the autumn, it got worse, much worse: due to floods damaging both the old and the new double-track line east of Vienna.

[@paulthiel5145]

Sure, but they should still have sent him an email with the updated time schedule 🤷

[@Daneelro]

@@paulthiel5145 Yes, fully agreed on that.

[@paracog]

That is a very nice compartment. Looks like you had a comfy trip. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure. 🐻☕

[@JH.1111]

Your thorough train videos help me understand the pricing, what to expect, and how to take a train in a foreign nation. Thank you, and I enjoy your sense of humor! Lol

[@goofyvideosofthecat]

This is such a great channel! I like that you don't talk the whole time but instead narrate via caption and write what we would all be thinking 😂 The extra benefit is we can hear the ambient sounds like announcements, other people, and even the train wheels on the tracks. For the viewers, it's almost like being there! (or as close as we can get watching from our sofas across the world 🌎)

[@baldviking1970]

We took the same compartment from Hamburg to Innsbruck also last august. I think you were a bit polite about the bed and pillow. Those were far from premium. But other than that I agree it was a very nice compartment. Lots of space. I loved the shower. Thanks for the video 🙂

[@Heiban-ver69]

Yery nice video and a great train, I had no idea that such a beautiful train ran here in Germany. I hope you have been to the Miniatur Wunderland as a train enthusiast? If not, you must do that next time! Thank you for showing me the world of trains and especially those in Japan! 😀🙋

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi there! I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I think that you do the best train videos on KZbin. I can’t think of anything that would make your channel better. It’s always a pleasure to tune in knowing that quality is right there. I look forward to many more adventures from you! Best Wishes, Peter

[@Gigismom59]

Yay! Going on a trip with Kuga!

[@papasmurf1904]

WOW!!! Nice room on this train! The personal bathroom is so spacious......the shower has lots of room! 👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃

[@830seagull]

今日は。ずっと新型のNightJet車両を見たかったので、嬉しかったです。 シャワーの水圧も強くて驚きました。有難うございました。

[@mymarci]

This year was quite challenging for the ÖBB. Constructions in Germany and France caused many delays this summer, so the ÖBB already reduced the number of nightjets, but unexpected nature disasters in Austria made it extra hard for them to avoid delays. But i am still very sorry for your experience, and hope that you could enjoy the trip, once the journey began.

[@kevincaldwell4707]

The Rambler, Kuga, takes us on another amazing train trip...

Wow, great video. I would love to ride this night train too. Thank you for always sharing so many inspirations with us.

[@paullenoue8173]

Thanks!

Thank you!🤝

[@josephsweeney9228]

I like your captions and your humor. Thank you for your content.

[@Po0hping]

I could live in that room and be very happy. Layout is so nice!

[@blarfroer8066]

If you don't speak German, the announcement at 5:36 said that the train would have an estimated delay of 110-120 minutes because of technical issues. I sure hope they also made the announcement in English.

[@feiryfella]

Ofc its delayed! LOL

[@petersupp6310]

It is also interesting to see from the display that the train was already delayed when it left, even though it was leaving from Vienna Central Station. Yes, technical problems are probably normal for this train. Mine broke down completely in Vienna after a long delay and all the passengers had to get off and were suddenly left alone in the middle of the night.

[@gwenivercall]

@@petersupp6310 And then? what did you do (literally my worst nightmare, lol) ?

[@ZelothGrey]

@@gwenivercall Suddenly the cameras come out and you realize you feature in a new survival show, "Stranded in Austria!"

[@heiznet1]

Delay. Okay. But non-smoking, that made me fkin mad

I am always happy to have a new adventure with you 😊

[@catherineshaw3197]

Thank you for your videos. I love train travel so l am pleased l have come across you.

[@samtrak1204]

I prefer the sleeping pods to the couchette but I would surely book the larger room with a shower so I can stand up and walk around and use the table to eat and compute.

[@avsecopo]

Cabin is so comfy, it's value for the 13 hours journey !!!😄

[@sarahl.5050]

Your videos are always so calming. I want to ride one of these trains too

[@letdrawwithfun]

Beautiful train experience i enjoying the journey with you thanks for this video ❤👍🙂

[@saiphi]

before i even clicked the video, i knew it was going to be delayed :') welcome to our train system in germany and austria

[@H44rold]

I heard it was because of the lack of investment in infrastructure. Is there any other reason ?

[@garryferrington811]

They want to sell more cars.

[@KitsuneHB]

I saw the title and I knew: There will be a delay! XD

[@KitsuneHB]

@@H44rold That's the reason. The politics of the past gave up investing into the infrastructure of the train system (well, and other systems too ... Germany is facing lots of problems).

[@rhondadavis850]

Every time I have taken Amtrak here in the U.S., it has always been hours late to destinations. My last trip, the train was due to arrive at 4:30 a.m. but got there at almost 7 a.m. I had to wait in my car because the inside station never opened. If you use Amtrak, you just know it’ll be late either before you board or while you’re on the train. I still enjoy the train if I am not on a schedule that doesn’t allow possible hours of delays.

[@bofast]

"Dream now. Enjoy tomorrow." does seem like something I would expect on a Japanese t-shirt

[@gregorysims3697]

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for making them. Happy New Year!

[@jsjsjjsjsjdjsjsbsbbs337]

Hi from Hamburg, tks for this nice video! I love night trains: 22 winters i travelled Hamburg - Innsbruck for skiing. 4 months ago i tried these new austrian nightjets to Munich. 4 ladies in a cabin. I loved this trip and nice talks with the other 3 travellers. But one thing was bad: the bed was so "un-soft" to lay on 😢. Or maybe it's because i'm already 66 years old? Love B from Bettina from Hamburg

[@carolannvickery9596]

Thank you for bringing us along! 😊

[@kristaaustova9743]

Ahoj, už se moc těším 😊🚆

[@jameshenderson4876]

Definitely nicer than the Nightjet from Amsterdam to Vienna that I and my daughters took around the same time as tour journey. I doubt I'll ever persuade them to take a night train again! Needless to say, we were several hours late in both directions...

[@Daindrais]

I just want to go on record: those are awesome crusty rolls!

[@SalvaBarbus]

I love how grandiose terminal train stations are, and I'm glad that they are being given a second life*. Those stations are perfect for night trains, after all, and I dream of a day when there's a coherent and reliable night train infrastructure across Europe. * Well, apart from poor Estació de França in Barcelona because we can't have nice things, or something.

[@paulthiel5145]

Neither Vienna nor Hamburg are terminal train stations 😂

[@SalvaBarbus]

@paulthiel5145 oh, aren't they? My bad, then! Still like them as far as what was shown on the video goes, I'll say.

[@carlosrosas7249]

That's a perfect room on a Sleeper train . OBB and the Night Jet are making the way . Looks like Sleeper trains are back to Europe and I think that's a very good thing . Next step will be to have high speed Sleeper trains . It's possible ... Ask China ... 🙂

[@hfb_blaacc2591]

There is barely a need for high speed night travels on rails here. If you increase the speed much further, you wouldn't even have enough time for a decent amount of sleep, granted the shorter distances we are dealing with in europe. Apart from that, the Nightjet is capable of running 210 km/h, but is barely ever able to make use of the maximum speed due to the track speed limits and trafffic.

[@carlosrosas7249]

​@@hfb_blaacc2591 I was thinking in very long distances like London - Istambul , Stockolm - Rome or Paris - Moscow , for instance ... Maybe in 10 / 15 years from now . Energy clean trains are a reality and we can't say that about planes . Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

20:33 Currywurst at 9 in the morning is certainly a choice. :D Especially right after breakfast on the train.

[@bryanlorang417]

Thanks Kuga! Happy Holidays 🎄🎅❄️

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. Ah yes you covered this brand new Nightjet Train. I don't know you have same opinion like European reviews or not, there's some details make this train bit annoying, like the louder beep everytime you press the button for lamp or controlling the AC, and sometimes this new carriage have some trouble, especially on Air Conditioning. But on the other side the ambience lamp and mini couchette are Plus point of brand new Nightjet Carriages.

[@louislamonte334]

I CAN'T WAIT to take this wonderful train! But like most European trains it desperately needs a lounge car!!

[@PeterNGloor]

during the ill-fated trial with the so-called City-Night-Line they had a real diner-lounge which was great. But it did not last long. They told us it was a money-loss. It was nice to stretch your legs in the morning and sit at a nice diner table with a big breakfast.

[@oslo162]

Be careful because your next trip with them will probably become a real nightmare ,otherwise i really hope that your own trip will run on the right track

[@graecus33]

Really nice to watch. Keep up the great videos!

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

Beautiful room. I once got a sixty euro fine for taking an artist easel on the metro in Paris even after I received permission. There is nothing consistent about European trains and ironically, that's the consistency 😂😂😂

[@peters1127]

[@divox9pqr]

Your nightjet cabin is quite an upgrade compared to the old grimy Amtrak bedrooms here in the U.S.

The city of Mozart would be Salzburg :) Vienna is known for composers like Haydn.

[@finneysimon]

Mozart lived in Vienna from 1781 till his death in 1791, and the city is adorned with museums and houses celebrating his life there.

[@Brauiz90]

@@finneysimon You're both right here - his birthplace and residence are in Salzburg, but the last few years he's been in Vienna...

[@michaelgrabner8977]

Salzburg was his birthplace...In Vienna he composed most of his operas and most of his other classical music pieces. By the way Mozart got kicked out of Salzburg with a kick in his ass, and I mean "actually" with an actual kick in his ass executed by Count Arco a member of the court household of the ruling Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg Leopold von Colloredo who ordered Count Arco to give Mozart a kick in his ass on his way out...and back in those days the shoes of a noble man were very pointy at the front end, so it definitively hurted a lot.

[@vik.1903]

[@vik.1903]

Bloody hell, that's quite the delay now that I see it. Wow! 2 whole hours! 😮

[@basdos7465]

😂😂😂

[@blarfroer8066]

Japan has no trains across borders, which helps a lot. Night trains are easily delayed because they have a lower priority than most other trains.

[@すどにむ]

Actually there are lots of delays in Japan too, just there are lots of trains overall that dilutes small delays into "couple picoseconds per eternity" metric in the end, and also better handrails on high speed rails that makes accidents much less likely

[@Yana_dbahn]

Japanese night train are among the most delayed in Japan.Its not uncommon for them to be delayed by several hours…

[@Danny30011980]

That looks very comfy and sleek. a proud price tho'. Good to have the trash beneath and far away from your head. I once went on a night train from Budapest to Munich, which was run by OBB, since The Deutsche Bahn do not provide night service anymore and the train was quite old stock, so the trash container was underneath the window in the compartment and in front of my face in the bed. I found the idea quite disgusting, being so close to the bin with my face and possibly smelling what is or has been inside. Hope you had a good trip. Btw - Mozart would be more connected to Salzburg ;-)

[@Neville60001]

9:07- I hate to say it, but this sleeper cabin is better than anything on Amtrak & VIA (in particular VIA Rail's _Canadian_ and _Ocean_ trains.)

[@kristinaexpat3843]

[@simonbaker6962]

I rode this cabin in May. Really enjoyed it but the bed was a bit hard.

[@maqaroon]

The ÖBB is notorious for delays and it's extremely expensive. I rarely ever take the train and I haven't been on a single ÖBB journey that wasn't off schedule. For that type of service, I cannot believe they have the audacity to charge €549 to Germany 😰! You were also lucky you went in August because in September there was a series of severe flooding which damaged the tracks between Vienna and Munich and the rail system was utter chaos for months. Most Austrians never take sleeper trains as their preferred form of transport just because of the price. It costs many times more to take the train than to fly. After flying, driving is most popular amongst Austrians. People don't bat an eyelid at driving 8-10hrs from Austria to Germany, Italy or Croatia.

[@Mayrah75]

da bin ich ja fast schon beruhigt, denn bisher ging ich davon aus, dass nur die DB Deutsche Bahn diese immensen Verspätungen hat.

[@hiemsx]

⁠@@Mayrah75Die ÖBB hat nicht einmal annähernd so viel Verspätung wie die DB - was auch Statistiken belegen. Ich verstehe diesen Hass auf die ÖBB kaum, als jemand der oft genug mehr als 4h mit dem Zug fährt habe ich erstaunlich wenig oft Kopfschmerzen von der ÖBB bekommen. Gut ist natürlich immer noch etwas anderes (vor allem im Vergleich zu den Schweizer Nachbarn), aber weitaus besser als die DB soweit ich weiß.

[@mechsikaner]

"The ÖBB is notorious for delays" - no, it's not

[@christoph-3288]

Also berüchtigt für Verspätungen sind sie nicht und meiner Erfahrung nach hält sich das sehr im Rahmen. Allerdings stimme ich dir zu dass die Preise für Kabinen einfach viel zu teuer sind.
