🇫🇷TRIP REPORT | Paris Nord to Compiègne | SNCF TER Hauts-de-France

Hello folks,
Today I am riding a regional train of the French state railways SNCF, through to Compiègne. French regional trains do not have a good reputation ... let's see if this one lives up to modern standards. Enjoy the video, and please ensure you leave a comment if you liked it. :)

First passed through Paris Nord back in my Interailing days , the first one being in 1986. Very impressive line up of electric locos back then. When they powered up and down the pantograph would make a lovely arcing sound a big spark ! Used to travel to and from Boulogne or Calais to connect with the boat train to London Victoria. Also travelled up to Amsterdam from there in Corail coaches . Great days they were and much missed. Just wish i had taken some photographs of the magnificent beasts.

Been to France many times and the railways are so impressive as well the trains.

SNCF also has a lot of downsides 😅

An absolutely brilliant video my friend, do keep up the uploads as and when you can - I've missed seeing them!

[@TravelSignal]

Nice video, well made. Good to see more from you! Shame about the state of the train, just a little bit of care and it would be so much better. What did the remote driving cab look like? I don't think I've seen one as I've never taken this type of train back when I lived in Paris. And congrats on 1k subs!Thanks!

This is the line i use to visit my family in France. I quite like it although the service can be very irregular at times which is sadly common on the entire network... I do love the stock used on the K13 and C14 services

Ah you took the 13h37 one. This is one of the few that pass on the RER D track beetween St Denis (just after Paris Nord) and Orry La Ville. Yeah V2N cars lack air conditionning. These cars are not propriety of SNCF but are own by Haut de France region, which had refuse the AC until now. But as I heard, perhaps it will install when the will go to north. For the seat, I agree, they are not bad for regionnal train. I don't like the poor seat of the new Regio2N EMU. It's Ok when you are just doing Creil/ Paris Nord, but for travel time which can be up to 1h45 on the longer trip, they are very bad. Sometimes you can have even bette seats in V2N cars. Some cars are mix first and second classe. First class have the same seat than corail first class and because Haut De France region decide to stop first class in their TER, you can go without any problem with a normal ticket. The only problem is that there are very few of this mix car, and there no exterior difference. Another things that i like with V2N cars is that they have a smooth running.

Excelente

You should quite the sound of the wind hitting the mic when you put the camera outside the window. The noise is terrible to listen to.

[@trainlagged]

Thanks for the suggestion :) Ill take that into account

This is what this TER was saying: "Petit j'ai vu des chose à te faire blanchir les cheveux ! Emmène-moi à la casse tout de suite". Translation: The things I've seen! Get me the f*ck out of here, I want to retire! (approximately😉)

very nice, but I don`t think you should spend all your school holidays riding around on trains. Why don`t you try something usefull and constructive like a hobby perhaps? Here are some tips- Stamp collecting, Knitting, Embroidery, Bike riding, Dancing, & helping your mother clean the house.

[@congelateur2A]

hell yeah stamp collecting is way more useful than travel, discover new things and learn about the world 👏👏

[@trainlagged]

Thanks jellybean8167
